@dawn16 you definitely still work your legs during hip thrusts, there are very few glute exercises that ONLY target glutes. Maybe some banded ones? But hipthrusts tend to target them a fair bit more than your quads which is useful especially if you're quad dominant. I think it's an amazing...

@numenorian I did say the majority of weight from fat, not 100%. There was a study over 6 months where if they followed a moderate calorie deficit they lost 91% from fat and only 7 from muscle. With regular weight training and proper nutrition (enough protein) that number could be higher. And...

@numenorian This is not accurate.. someone may be strong in their upper body and therefore be able to do more pullups than someone with the same lean mass who works more on their lower body. For one thing they will have more lower body weight to lift without the upper body strength. The...

@twinmama 5'7" 139ish looking to lose about 5lb of fat and maintain muscle for the warmer months.. and see where I'm at from there because I want to see if I have enough muscle while lean to do a bikini (masters though!) show sometime in the future or what I need to work on. I may never do it...

@kenny123 Yeah I think the Reddit demographic in general is like 70% male too so it just adds to it

@dminrev Oh yeah I figured it was fitness which is all-gender but mostly men tend to give advice there even if you want a womans advice.. thats why I come here mostly now too

@andy1993 Oh Im a woman but I don't have any impressive power lifting numbers! I just read the post and thought it was funny because I've experienced that too when asking for other womens opinions lol

@andy1993 "but mostly men answered" lol that just makes me laugh because it's Reddit in a nutshell. "Not a woman but I'm sure you really want my manly man opinion on the matter!"

@emiles97 Damn your body is out of this world! You say you think your % would have been higher but I would have thought lower.

@dawn16 I'm not op but have had 2 kids and managed to get stomach into shape again, some of it depends on genetics like if you will have stretch marks or not, or loose skin, some people have more elastic skin and don't have either. As to just getting a flat tummy? Anyone can do that after a...

@demetria 35%?! I mean that in a good way because you look a lot leaner! You have such a nice figure. Benefit of being tall maybe!

@denisem10743 Thanks for this !! I've been getting pretty frustrated lately trying to find a nice fitting pair of jean shorts that fit both the waist and hips at the same time.

@ephraimite yeah this is why I love HT's because my quads have always grown a lot faster and easier than my glutes so I need exercises specifically for glutes to balance it out

@maria90 so do you plan to take these results into your doctor? please say yes!

@wilovski haha it's there, she's just so lean it's flattened out so you don't see the shadow

@ryanb92 I'm actually suprised at how smooth her skin still is. I would have thought there would be more a more wrinkled appearance. There's a bit in the back but for 71 that's nothing. I love stuff like this because often from older people who stop exercising you get "oh but you can't build...

@maria90 so you built your own hip to waist ratio! just proof that women who don't have naturally narrow waists and wide hips can also build an hour glass figure

@maria90 that's really interesting that most of your fat mass is in your legs but they look relatively balanced with your upper body!
