petite fitness

I have tried so hard to lose weight, and I do so good at home during the week. Then the weekend starts and the social stuff ramps up and it’s so hard to control once I’m out. Especially because I feel like people notice if you order healthier things or say no to alcohol for example. I don’t like...

Almost all grains (and quinoa) come out to the same amount of calories per 1/4 cup dry. Usually 150-170 calories. After meal prepping for over a year, I have officially gotten tired of rice as my go to base for meals. Normal white rice, jasmine, basmati, brown, wild, I am sick of it. My biggest...

I started a medication that can cause weight gain as a side effect. I’d gained ten pounds in a brief period of time (maybe 1-2 months). I worked out for almost 2 weeks now and tried to focus on protein and tracking cals. But now I am 6 lbs heavier than before I started exercising? Is this...

ChatGPT wrote a 7-day (vegan) meal plan for me for fat loss, with some adjustment suggestions depending on my overall goals/caloric requirements. I also had it do one for intermittent fasting. Any feedback or glaring issues with this plan? Thanks in advance! Day 1 Breakfast: Overnight Oats - 1...

Hi all, so I’ve been on my fitness journey for almost two years now. In my early to mid 20s I pretty consistently stayed at 120 pounds, maybe even a little less. I wasn’t exercising that much, just the occasional cardio, yoga, and maybe lifting weights. Probably only exercised 1-2 times a week...

I hate how at 168lbs I look obese!!! Yet my cousin at 5'5 looks skinny!!! I'm going to cry wtf why was i born the equivalent to a smurf Edit: Damnb I didn't expect people to take my rant and agree that yes im the size of a whale lmao as a type 1 diabetic trying to lose weight on top of taking...

I’ve been going to the gym for about 5 months now. The goal is to lose weight and become leaner. I’ve been pretty consistent with lifting 3 x a week, however my diet is lacking in ways. I eat a high protein diet, but I've been through many cycles of losing a few pounds and gaining them back...

I’ve recently finished a reverse diet around 1850 cal per day, focusing on 32% protein, around 130. I used to weigh 120 but I wasn’t doing it very healthily / didn’t do high protein/ was always hungry. Is it possible to get leaner again and go back to 120? Eating more protein has helped a lot in...

I love to see the petite and dense aesthetic on this sub, but I don't think I can achieve it. I have been working on losing weight off and on since June 2021 when I weighed 145 (all time high and not comfortable at all). I would lose some weight, get derailed by trips, get disheartened, give up...

I’d love to see 5 ft tall, short torso girlies who are achieving their goals! Obviously, we all carry weight differently but I’ve noticed that I carry a lot of weight on my midsection but I’d love to see some motivation if you are around 5ft qnd have a short torso and are achieving your goals...

So all my life I've been a size 16, the past few months a size 12, and recently I wore my poor belt down from work and my usual work pants are totally falling off me (both size 16 and a little bit of the 12!!). Today while shopping I bought a size 9 jean out of a whim and I FIT THEM!! I tried...

I know most of you ladies are strength training, but I’m hoping someone here has some advice for getting the right balance of nutrition whilst marathon training. I’m 156cm and 63kg (that’s about 5’2” and 140lb in freedom units, I think). Currently losing about 1kg a week, eating about 1200-1400...

Hi everyone! New to r/petitefitness (and fitness in general 😅) and thought I’d get some advice from ladies who have been doing this for a while! I’m 27F, 5’2.5 and in March I weighed 212 lbs. I suffer from depression and April was the lowest I’ve ever experienced without actually feeling...

My stats don’t really matter in this context, but I’m 5’1” and have been committed to losing weight for about a year now. I’ve been taking the slow approach and am down 15 pounds in 12 months, but I FEEL good most days and feel like I’m fueling myself while also losing weight. I’m currently 130...

I’ve been trying to lose these past 15 pounds for MONTHS. Currently 5’2”, 145lbs 25y/o. I eat 1600 cals a day, lift weights 4x a week. I lost almost 40lb from 2020-2022, and I’ve been bouncing between 139-145 all of last year and this year. Talk about a plateau… I eat in a calorie deficit...

This past year I've been on a steady weight loss jouney, starting at 5'0, 162lbs. I spent Jan and Feb working a lot on my diet, I'm a volume eater and was eating too much for my size. I spent six months practicing CICO, prioritizing protein, weightlifting, yoga, and engaging in anything else...

Hi! I’m looking for an app to create my own HIIT workouts to do in the gym or at home. I know the type of workouts I’m looking for. Something like this - Stuff with exercises like this- Like A good mix of strength and cardio. I’m just not comfortable creating the workouts on my own yet...

Hey guys! I started my fitness journey two weeks ago and I am just so surprised at how well it’s going. I lost 7 pounds exactly already! I hope this motivates someone to keep going or get started on theirs. I haven’t been working out much this week because my work schedule is all over the...

Soo... I hear everyone is lifting weights. And it helps you lose weight. So knowing literally nothing I start trying to lift weights at home because I can't go to the gym . . Welllll.. I hurt my back. Probably not bad it's like a pinched nerve or something. It was feeling a small amount better...

Hi, I've been walking and doing exercises daily at home but I want to get started at an actual gym. I am wondering what actual ITEMS I need. Obviously a water bottle, sports bra, leggings (which I am having a hard time finding ones that don't roll down b/c of my large stomach), good shoes and...
