@corruptedsoul Based on what I looked like at my own heaviest... I would absolutely have guessed somewhere around 180-200lbs. The exact number is irrelevant though and just focus on getting to a healthy weight (sub 150 as an initial goal, probably around 130 as a long term goal). Nowadays...

@vantheman92176 Once you hit your protein and fat minimums... you can fill your calories with whatever macros you want. It's kinda individualized if more fat or more carb will feel better for you. And you likely don't need 180g of protein. It's .8-1g per 1lb of lean body weight. So if you're...

@marywifemomteacher If you want to lose weight quicker, you need to cut your calories further. It really just boils down to calories in vs calories out. 500 calorie deficit a day will give you 1lb of weight loss a week. Are you only doing cardio? If you want to make muscle gains, you need to...

@harmony77 Ignore that other person, 1500 is fine for your size! It depends on your size, but I'd say the amount is more 1200 to not eat below, but a smaller woman could probably go lower. It ultimately comes down to hitting your protein/fat goals. Speaking of which, you could get away with a...

@dfirst Honestly, try your best and just listen to your hunger cues instead. Build those habits. Otherwise, pull up a TDEE calculator and put in sedentary if you only lift, lightly active if you have some short cardio in there, moderately active if you're doing lots of cardio (ie, like 3+hrs a...

@dfirst Then just keep that up, work out hard, and go from there.

@dfirst Congrats on the weight loss... but you definitely over corrected. If you've only been lifting for 3 months, you're very likely skinny fat. So your focus should be on eating healthy and slowly bulking. I would honestly keep it pretty slow too so you don't really have to cut again for...

@annieinsight You aren't fat by any stretch and you need to gain weight. Healthy food is preferred, but eat some sweets if you need to! Have a look at these before and after pics https://bonytobombshell.com/female-lifting-transformation-before-after/ They gained weight and looked better...

@ampworship Build muscle https://thefitness.wiki/muscle-building-101/ Toned is a bullshit word. It basically means high muscle mass while being lean enough to see it. You're currently very low muscle mass and way too lean. You need to gain muscle and fat honestly to be healthier. But if you...

@terri777 https://thefitness.wiki/weight-loss-101/ https://thefitness.wiki/muscle-building-101/ Tl;dr - Your weight is dictated by your diet. If you aren't losing weight, you're eating too much. I'm guessing then you're maybe somewhere around 5'5 or less in height? Just wanting to make sure...

@ocds With 3x a week workouts, you can do full body workouts every day. So it's not a massively intense leg workout each time, but you still get some solid leg work in each time. You'd also be better off following a proven routine. As for if its too much... can you recover from it? If yes...

@peachysteph Honestly, you're better off with picking a proven routine. If you have to ask these questions, you aren't ready to make your own routine. https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-building/

@selinamontanino You could drink a ton of water or eat a ton of food and screw up the the inbody test. Seriously just dont' pay it ANY attention, it's not worth stressing out over. Basically ANY device that claims to measure this is going to suffer from the same issues. Getting a DEXA scan is...

@souha Birth control does fuck with your metabolism, so ultimately you just need to eat less than you would if you were not on it. But at the end of the day, a calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight. So if you aren't losing weight, you're still eating too much. Slowly changing your...

@merrykate Your link doesn't work But to me, it just sounds like you're under muscled still. Depending on how fast you lost the weight and if you were lifting and eating protein at the time, that could have contributed towards muscle loss, but it shouldn't have given you man boobs That's...

@selinamontanino Weight loss will come from a calorie deficit. So you need to eat less https://thefitness.wiki/weight-loss-101/ Do you have an option other than that machine? I would encourage free weights or better machines tbh. Also, I would follow a proven routine. Read this page for more...

@aroah1015 I posted earlier, also a woman. It still depends on how you feel. Ive been doing fasted workouts recently since I moved my gym time around with no issue and feel great. Maybe during period week, you may feel yourself wanting more, but maybe not.

@angelbaby35 At least grab a banana or something before! It's so helpful! I find i can do easy cardio while fasted, but any kind of resistance training? Nope nope nope. I don't feel like I'll throw up, but I get super lightheaded and feel like I'll pass out!

@angelbaby35 I don't think this is a setback... just a new challenge for you to overcome. Did you have any breakfast this morning before the class? Are you well hydrated? That can make a big difference. But also, if you aren't use to training core, it can be hard. New exercises for any...

@alexandre123 Could also eventually look for a LARPing group (live action role play... basically run around playing DnD in person!) The difficult part would be finding a group due to her age. Something you could look into and be like "lets learn how to BE your DnD character so that you can do...
