    Those who are 5’0/5’1, what is your goal weight and what are you doing to get there?

    @stephny I’m 5’1, currently 125, sw 155, aiming for 105-110. Above 115 I’m really not happy with my legs, but under 105 I start to look a little too small up top (my ribs in particular). So that’s my good comfy range and I’d like to get back to it.

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @notaperfectchristian I don’t know that this one matters. People don’t usually say a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat, because obviously a pound is a pound and everyone knows that. What they do say is that “muscle weighs more than fat”, and what they’re really saying is that...

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @davidmwebb I love this one. You’ll see recipes online with “no processed sugar” as if adding a cup of maple syrup to something makes it healthy lmao

    Help! Can’t get rid of cellulite on my thighs and bum

    @corinth77777 If you keep doing what you’re doing, it should get better! IF doesn’t make you lose weight/fat on its own but it may help you stay in a calorie deficit, which will help. I’ve lost about ten pounds in the last few months and while I’ve only lost an inch or two around my hips, my...

    Why Asians are overweight/obese at lower BMIs

    @seraph159 You got upvoted above because you told the oop that she did nothing wrong, and you got downvoted here because you’re spreading misinformation. BMI isn’t perfect but it’s still a useful guideline and being very overweight isn’t healthy. People can do what they want with their bodies...

    I’m response to my last post: what’s that one food that you know is good for you or is a lower calorie option that you just refuse to eat?

    @dawn16 I keep trying to like them but they’re just wrong! I feel like it would be fine for additional protein in smoothies or even mixed with ice cream or something, but just mixed with water the flavor and texture are all wrong.

    What are your non-weight related goals?

    @willyjoejimbob Being able to do a pull up is the DREAM. I’ve also always struggled with pushups and it used to make me feel so pathetic in school lol

    @mynameisjoe It’s kind of fist sized but it’s like deep in the body. It’s under a lot of other shit lol

    Bad follow up dexa scan, where to go from here

    @hvkadk12 I would be shocked if you’re 31% body fat. I’m not an expert, but you look more like you’re somewhere in the lower half of the 20’s to me.

    I’m response to my last post: what’s that one food that you know is good for you or is a lower calorie option that you just refuse to eat?

    @chaplain777 I agree re: protein powders. Maybe if I ate dairy I could find a whey one that I like, but all the vegan ones are nasty. I especially hate the grainy textures and stevia and monkfruit aftertastes. I eat No Cow protein bars instead. There is one brand making bioengineered vegan whey...

    How do you get a smaller waist ?!!! I’m stuck

    @carl I wish I had a short torso 😩 I’m short with a long torso, which makes my legs look dumpy/wide/extra short. I have the “too short, can’t get it very small” issue with my thighs instead. I guess there’s always something to be upset about - maybe I should be thankful instead lol. I’ve had a...

    4'9" and i hate it

    @chrismonolo Body composition is nuts, which I think is why I love seeing other people’s stats. It’s crazy how we all gain and lose weight in different places. I’m 5’1, currently 143, 36-29-38. It’s so weird how weight sits so differently on people! I felt my best at ~110 and 35-25-36, but I...

    I’m so upset…

    @ebarnes I’ve never tried LMNT but I’ve recently become obsessed with Ghost’s new bottled hydration drink. I want to try their BCAA powder too.

    Just for fun: what’s everyone’s favorite fitness/health “fact” that’s been debunked?

    @notaperfectchristian My least favorite one is that lower stomach fat is there to “protect your uterus” or that it’s “just your uterus sticking out”. That’s not true at all and it’s wild how much people repeat it. There’s nothing wrong with lower stomach fat but let’s at least be factual about...

    @jimsfaust I heard it from elder-millennial dance teachers growing up too :/ like girly it is 2007 and you are 25, don’t tell children their thighs are going to get bulky lmao

    Where to shop

    @krisuvial1992 In my experience, the more expensive the store, the less vain the sizing. It’s not a guarantee but it’s fairly reliable, and the reverse is almost always true (cheaper store, vainer sizing).

    Eating back too much calories. Tips?

    @irishamerican4christ If you’re routinely overeating with no meal plan, you should see an RD and get a plan together.

    What’s your TDEE? What do you for fitness?

    @senni Damn, 2222 is an awesome TDEE. I’m 5’1”, 27, and according to my spreadsheet, mine averages out around 1900. I have hypothyroidism but it’s medicated back to normal now - I think my TDEE was around 1200 before I got on medication, and that’s a huge part of why I gained 40 pounds despite...

    Where to shop

    @sirilpaul10 American Eagle is one of the few places that make jeans that fit me! They vanity size to hell and back, but they were absolutely pioneers when it comes to curvy fit and short clothes. Curvy fit extra short jeans 😍
