    Ya’ll are baddies!!!

    I (27 F 4ft 11) have been so inspired by this sub lately!! Especially all the shorties who weigh “more” but it’s because they have muscle! It’s been so healthy for me to see that weight doesn’t necessarily equate to looks/fitness and been fuel to my fire! Thank youuuuu
