@mursieme You cannot tone muscle versus build muscle. The human body does not work that way.

@senni My stats are very similar! I’m 4’11 and my TDEE is about 2000-2200. I lift weights, walk, and do yoga. My full time job is a desk job, my part time job (usually just one day a week) is active.

@ingodstime Rest days are absolutely not optional. They are 100% essential and not taking at least one a week is extraordinarily detrimental to your training and your health. Alternating upper body and lower body is absolutely not a replacement for a rest day. Rest days are extremely important...

@corgigal If you have health issues that limit your exercise—talk to your doctor. The success rate of weight loss without exercise is less than 5%.

@bpf53 There is NO way you are gaining fat if you eat a little over 1300 calories with this much exercise. It’s probably just water retention. I didn’t say the specific exercises are going to hurt you—but core training six days a week is way too much. You’re going to tire out your muscles and...

@alexis82 This is unsustainable and unhealthy. Please seek the support of a doctor or a registered dietician to help you reach your goals in a healthy way Edited to add: I mean eating at a very low calorie intake and doing a lot of exercise is unsustainable an unhealthy, not necessarily that...

@ingodstime Are you doing strength training at the gym every day? That is not good for you at all! It’s OK to do some kind of exercise every day, but you have to have active recovery days which means you should be doing at most easy walking and light yoga In addition to that, if you did not...

@doey26 If you’ve always had a large chest in proportion, it’s extremely unlikely you will get to a cup size that small. There’s no way to know without a mammogram, but it sounds like you may have primarily dense breast tissue, which isn’t impacted by your body fat percentage. I was a G cup when...

@bpf53 How long has it been since you started this routine? Remember it takes at the very least six weeks to notice extremely small changes so if it’s been close to or less than that, you’re just not giving your body enough time to adjust. That aside, you don’t seem to be consuming enough food...

@crusader1 I’m sorry, but you’re wrong and I need to address what you said because this is a very dangerous misconception that could prevent somebody from seeking treatment when they really need it. Counting calories does not always become obsessive. This statement is 100% false and is an...

@crusader1 I’m sorry, but you’re contradicting yourself a bit and I don’t really feel comfortable continuing to give you advice because I really think it’s very important that you see a specialist. You originally said that you have binging behaviors and you get really obsessive when you calorie...

@didyousaysomething I promise it’s not me downvoting! I respect not wanting to engage further, just again want to recommend talking to your doctor about the possibility of thyroid issues, and also maybe a dietician who can better explain why you should NEVER eat under 1350

@crusader1 The fact that you have binging tendencies and feel like you can’t count calories without it becoming obsessive means that it is extremely important that you get support from an eating disorder specialist if you are going to try to continue to lose weight. The fact that you’re already...

@didyousaysomething You have TDEE and BMR mixed up—please remember it is NEVER EVER safe to eat under your BMR. You intake cannot under any circumstances go under 1360. I would suspect your tdee is much higher if you exercise regularly as most people burn 300 cals above their BMR even without...

@didyousaysomething That’s an extremely low intake so definitely check with your doctor and get a BMR test and your thyroid tested.Something is probably wrong. As I stated, it’s literally not possible to put on weight when you were eating less than a four-year-old child needs unless you have...

@crusader1 You really need to be working with a mental health professional if your goal is weight loss when you have been recently actively struggling with binging which is a form of disordered eating. Working with a professional will not only make sure that you’re not continuing to struggle...

@didyousaysomething It’s literally not possible to gain fat on this low of an intake with this high of an activity level unless you have a thyroid condition.

@dassahjoy With pretty similar statistics a few years ago, I was very fixated on getting back down to 110 pounds. I did it, and it was one WORST decisions I have ever made for my body. This type of fixation on the scale is not logical and it’s not a good idea. The scale cannot tell you what your...

@earthbear I agree with the above comment to find a trainer/program that can help guide you. This will make sure you have a well rounded program that hits all of your muscle groups

@huk945 It didn’t. I was a 30G at 95 pounds and a 30G at 135 pounds. I had a breast reduction.
