Also how would my workouts need to change?

As far as I know, no pcos. I’ve have an iud for years though, which might mask anything of that sort. Definitely no symptoms of that or thyroid issues, although I know they can be latent. I am on lexapro , if that makes a difference.

@bethany35 So this is where I was getting at. I’ve been in the fitness industry as a side job for 14 years on and off. I KNOW the absolute benefits of lifting weights. I’m wondering if it’s worth changing my entire workout routine to see if any body changes are possible (besides tightening up my...

Just as a side note: I REALLY appreciate the information, kindness, and overall positivity of not just this thread but of a lot of the others I’ve read on this sub! ❤️

@jacob2848 Thank you again! I am very straight- virtually no waist and hips, just straight down and short torso. I totally scrunch up my shoulders and just appear bigger up top and especially at my last. I would say back fat in that area is one of my biggest irks!

@jacob2848 So I have an iud- haven’t had a “real” period, but since I’m nearing the end of my iud time I spot every 28-30 days. When I had a real period - years and years ago before bc - I had regular ones, nothing unusual. I tend to carry my weight in my arms and back…so I guess I’m not loving...

@loveyhwh Any ideas? I’m open to it all!

@panda0301 How does that look for you in terms of working out time? I don’t have an hour daily. I do an hour of working out 2x a week, spin 1x a week (I was an instructor before COVID where I did 5-7 spin classes a week 😵‍💫), and the other 3 work outs range from 30-45 min. I don’t mind adding in...

I’m not loving how built and bulky I look from lifting weights. I use heavier dumbbells 4-5x a week (20+) via Obe app power and strength classes and spin once a week (I LOVE it and have been doing spin for 12 years). I’m 38, 5’1 and 130 and while I don’t look chubby, I look quite built and...
