    Feeling like I don't look like I workout

    @hendricks62 My guess, it's probably eating 2200 cals a day. At 5'10" 165lbs, maybe you're eating too much. I went up to 205lbs during quarantine till the gyms opened here in Jersey. After 3 months and dieting to 1500 - 1600 cals/day or less (most days, only human after all), I got down to...

    Not sure whether to continue cutting, stay at maintenance, or eat at a surplus (progress photos)

    teen girl intimidated by mostly-male strength training class

    @jrsinct Well to be honest, considering the age of the people in the class, I would think there might be some snickering or commenting or joking or whatever but only at the beginning. We all went to high school and remember those days. That's due to age. I would think most won't care or so...
