    How do y’all afford protein foods😭

    I keep seeing everyone with all these cool finds, then I search up the price and I’m like -😳 I’m not talking about this sub specifically (I don’t think I’ve seen it here) but more so other fitness and diet related subs. I struggle to meet my protein goals so badly. Like the volume of meat you...

    Does anyone work out based on their moon cycle?

    Hi friends, When I was unemployed, I used to work out five times a week, including three times at the park doing calisthenics. Now that it’s summer where I live (over 90 degrees everyday), it takes a lot more energy for me to get out and exercise, especially since I have PMDD. I also got quite...

    Not everybody will have a bubble butt. And that’s okay.

    I have to get this off my chest. I have a twin sister. I weigh about 130 and she is about 120. I’ve been lifting weights for about 7 years almost consistently and my sister has started in the gym for the past year and a half. My sister has always had a pear shape, even when we were children...

    Is there hope for smaller chest size?

    Just wondering if anyone here that used to have a much larger chest has been able to reduce it significantly by getting a low enough body fat percentage. I've always had a large chest in proportion to my size and I would rather not as it gets in the way of sports, running, fitting into clothes...

    A month of weight loss (5'3 155lb-151lb) and what's working so far

    Greetings! Like many of you, I decided to start 2024 with a goal to get in shape and lose some weight. I'm in my mid-thirties, 5'3, and have usually averaged my adult life around 140-145ish, and that's always been with a "gee, it would be great to get down to 135 mindset". These past two...

    Do you have to have a structured workout routine to see results? Can I wing it every day and still experience the benefits of strength training?

    I know this is probably a silly question. I’ve tried to get into strength training many times (I’ve tried the gym, machines, body weight exercises, and exercise bands… the only things I’ve really cared for are body weight and band exercises). Every time, I inevitably get bogged down trying to...

    Is intermediate fasting needed for weight loss? What time do u guys start/stop eating

    I've been trying to lose weight and can't do IF because I'm afraid it'll trigger my past ED restricting habits. I'm in a calorie deficit and don't have breakfast until 7-8 and typically stop eating around 7/8pm. I wanted to do 16:8 but with school n such it's just not realistic and I'll end up...

    Lifting heavy v low weight/high reps for slimmer legs?

    Disappointed: weight loss didn’t equal bf% loss

    I had a dexa scan in July that said I was 131 lbs and 37% bf. Ouch. So since then I have lost 14 lbs. I recently bought a Garmin Index smart scale. It says I’m 115-117 and 35-36% bf. I was so disappointed bc I figured losing over ten pounds would make at least a small dent in bf%. I’m not...

    I wanted to share my progress to remind my fellow shorties that change takes time, but if you're consistent change does happen! It can seem like not much is happening week-to-week when the weight loss is so slow. Hang in there, keep at it, and use something in addition to the scale to mark your...

    Please reassure me my home gym isn’t dumb

    For whatever reason, some days I just feel embarrassed to be alive. I think part of it is a bit of social anxiety, but don’t truthfully know. With this, I feel embarrassed of my home gym. I bought a squat rack and inherited a treadmill from my parents. I have a few weights, a bench, and a...
