    Taking the L for Halloween

    The only thing scary this Halloween is the amount of candy I’ve been eating. Not sure if anyone else is a fully functional adult, or at least pretends to be like me, who has no self control with candy. I partook yesterday and I fully relate to the sugar being an addiction sentiment. I can’t have...

    Goal weight for 5ft 2in F?

    So I’ve seen this question asked before, and 110lbs seemed to be quite a popular answer. My question is, for the people whose goal is 110lbs - Have you weighed that before, and therefore that’s the reason you’re able to get back to that weight? How are you getting to that weight, and how are...

    Losing fitness after a few weeks?

    Hey! So I mainly do yoga (mostly vinyasa/power, a few times a week — in college so things can get busy) with some occasional running, rowing, and lifting mixed in. After ~3 weeks of less activity over the holidays, I feel like I've lost a TON of fitness — both endurance and flexibility. My...

    BMR Q

    I am a 5’4 157.6 lb female and my BMR is 1,447 kcal/ day. If I were to reduce this by 250 it would be 1,197. I know eating under 1,200 calories a day is unhealthy. How could I reduce this to lose weight?

    Another success story about maintenance helping break a plateau

    For 24 days, I had been stagnating between 157-159, with my absolute lowest on any of those days (or ever, since I started losing weight) being 157 on the dot. I started to get frustrated since it is now midway through February, and I hadn't even achieved my "beginning of the month" weight goal...

    Where to go from here

    Hi everyone, I am F 33, 4′ 9, 106lb (I think. I am 1,47cm and 48kg). I want to be leaner, do not care much about the number on the scale, but since I am very short and have broad shoulders sometimes I feel like a square, and also I do not have much muscle so I wanted to gain some and look...

    Fitness is a bit lonely

    I am loving my petite fitness journey. I’ve got graphs tracking my weight and body fat %. I joined this subreddit (which has been so helpful)! I’m stronger and starting to see results in my monthly progress picture. My mental health is great, and I really enjoy not drinking. Also, getting 8-9...

    What I ate over last 3 days

    I ate cakes and cookies, rice and potatoes, meat and meat, salads and fruits, drunk wine, champagne, Prosecco and G&T… I’m absolutely happy with what I ate, and enjoyed every bite because I’m back to gym tomorrow. Not letting 3 days become 3 months or 3 years. Right back on. Be kind to...

    Low energy all day especially after eating?

    Hey y’all ! I’ve been going to the gym consistently since the beginning of the year. I got myself on a really nice sleep schedule and started perfecting my nutrition.

    NSV + Caroline Girvan + realistic, slow and steady changes

    A number of you suggested I try Caroline Girvan some months ago and I finally made it through the FUEL program today. I'm 5'1", 41, and starting weight like 133. My main concern wasn't weight, but just not having the muscle strength I once had. I lost a lot of muscle during COVID and was way...

    Oikos Triple Zero?

    Since I am so short, I'm finding it difficult to find food that fills me up within a pretty low calorie goal each day. I am trying to find afforable and reasonable swaps in my diet. I was thinking of switching to Oikos Triple Zero for breakfast- 90 cals for 15 g protein. Have any of you tried...

I work out 6x a week. 1 hr weights+ 1 hr cardio 4 of those days. Then the 2 days I walk 6 1/2 miles. On average my watch tells me I burn around...
