@hendricks62 Well, you workout. You are what that looks like. If you mean you don't look like one of the fitness models or Instagram fitness influencers, that's probably because they're doing things you're not doing and probably don't want to do. They're possibly unhealthy things.

@debyfabienne In my experience, the really serious hardcore bodybuilding gyms have the most women lifting. They're a minority of the membership, but there's more than you'll see lifting at most gyms. Just now I go to a big chain that actually prioritises strength and there's a lot of women...

@howardrf Maybe I'm doing it wrong... I pick 5 resistance exercises, varying by what equipment is available. (battle ropes, kettlebells, etc). One of these is always step-ups onto a raised platform. I start with one minute of step-ups. Then I do 10-16 reps of the other four exercises. I order...

@jesse1354 I have to go cold turkey. No sugar is much easier than low sugar. FWIW, I don't have any issues with incidental sugar like in ketchup or in fruits. Just sweets will trigger me.
