petite fitness

Hello. I’m quite new to working out. I’m a 21 years old female, 5foot 1in and 122lbs. I’ve been stuck at around 120lbs+/- for the past two years. I eat around 1,500 calories a day. My diet includes a lot of fruits, veggies, some rice, yogurt, salmon, chicken, and steak. I’m determined to gain...

So hear me out— I am 5’2” and have always had a slightly stockier, athletic build. Bigger butt, bigger thighs, strong legs, and… BIG FEET. I am short but wear a size 9.5 - 10 shoe. I started at my biggest around 160 and am now around 142 and feel really good and want to lose maybe 5 or so more...

Hi there! I’m a female, 5’3 and 149lbs. I started around 155lbs in February when I started going to the gym again (got lazy and stopped for 4+ months). I have a pear body shape with a lot of fat in my thighs, hips, and some hip dips, so this is where most of my weight comes in. I lift 4-5x a...

So in Costa Rica last year, in super hot climate, and after a 90 min gym session, I tried to ride an e-bike up a giant hill and failed. I'm not sure if it was because the bike was too heavy, or I was so tired. Looking for anyone with experience riding one. I'm going to a beach town this weekend...

40f cw: 145 GW: 125 I’m 5’3” So I’ve been trying to eat in a calorie deficit for the past month. I stay between 1500-1600 calories but I’m still staying the same weight at 145-146lbs. I decided I am going to try intermittent fasting. I decided to follow a 15:9 so I will be eating from...

That's it! Have been in the gym inconsistently since March, had to give up calorie counting because of a past eating disorder. The last few weeks I've been consistent with my cardio and lifting routine and halving most of my portions, trying to eat mindfully. Seems like it's working, and not far...

So I've officially reached my "first goal weight" of 135! Yay! (25, Height 5'1, SW 156 GW 125?) By this time I was hoping my face would look a lot slimmer.. last year at this time I was also 135 and did not have a double chin! Between then and now I did have a baby and am breastfeeding but I...

Right now I do yoga with Adriene (home series) about 5-7 days a week. I’d like to alternate yoga with Adriene with a Caroline Girvan series. I’d love to alternate the two. Anyone have a Caroline Girvan series they recommend for newbies? I’d love to do a 30 day series. I prefer weight lifting to...

Hi! I’m wondering about the correct number of cals to cut from my diet. I’m 4’10 and 53.5kg (117lbs) At the moment my AMR is around 1730 a day so I’ve been on a cal intake of around 1000-1200 cals per day. I want to drop around 6-7 more lbs. Honestly, my sleep is getting affected but I’m still...

Getting frustrated lately. From various problems like: o) heartburn when not sitting straight enough after eating + certain bras put pressure on my lower esophageal sphincter (abrathatfits), even more heartburn (especially with pants that are too tight) o) cysts feel much bigger than they...

I’m 4’10 (or maybe nearly, 4’9.5?) and I’m about 105 lbs or 47.7kg. It’s a healthy weight for my size, but definitely not on the leaner end of healthy. I wonder if I need to get down under 100lbs if I want them to show, I’m curious to know everyone else’s experience. Also to add, I know the...

Hi, I’ve been slowly gaining scale weight over the past few months and I’m beginning to feel discouraged. Context: I’m a 21 year old Female. 5ft3in and my forms of exercise is weightlifting and L.I.S.S style cardio 2-3 times a week. I eat at least 100g of protein per day. So, I’ve recently...

TW: under-eating, calorie counting, weight gain Summarizing my history because I don’t think the details are super relevant for this post: - years of eating ~900-1100cal - on and off lifting - gained body fat over the years during multi-week visits back home eating 3 meals/1400-1700 cal -...

I have this crazy Halloween costume idea as a goal, and I know that to really pull it off, I need to get started now. I might be crazy—I'm a 40-year-old mom of 2—but if not now, when? So, I need a solid plan to get going. I'm 5'1" and 133 lbs, and I have a gym membership. My husband and I just...

So, for the past 5 days, I counted my calories for the first time in 53 weeks. I was curious about my protein intake because I want to gain more muscle and I need to eat around 100 to 120gr of protein to see better results. These were my calories: Day 1 - 1842kcal Day 2 - 1868kcal Day 3 -...

Anyone have any tips n tricks to meeting the protein goal on 1300-1400 cal ? I typically stay well under 1400 and am satisfied , but I just CANNOT seem to eat sufficient protein. My macro test said I should be around 115g a day. I eat between 50-100g on a good day. If I try to eat more I am...

As the title suggests I want a show so sucking that I forget completely where I am ( when I’m in fact on the elliptical machine) Suggest everything you got maybe it’ll help someone else too 😜

Does anyone here have success with at home workouts/classes like Peloton strength training? I see a lot of posts about going to the gym and I’m wondering if I’ll see results by just working out at home. I do 3-4 30-45 minute strength training classes a week at home + 10k steps a day + sometimes...

I see a lot of posts about 1200 kcal/day and if petite folks can get away with eating more. I want to show that we most definitely can! I’m 4’11” and, according to MacroFactor, my TDEE is 2222 kcal. I’m aiming for body recomposition with a small calorie deficit of ~150- 200 kcal. My fitness...
