    How did you break your plateau?

    I’m 154cm (About 5ft) and I’ve been hovering around 154-156lbs since January. I have no problem with maintaining as I’m trying to grow muscle, but my waist measurements have not budged a bit at all! I feel like i’m going crazy! Here’s my routine: Height: 154cm (5 feet) Weight: 154-156lbs Waist...

    Rant

    This is me being a baby. A big baby. My whole life, no matter my weight or pant size, I was considered thick. Even at a size 0. For me, big was above 130 pounds. I’m almost 5’4’’ fyi. About 15 years ago I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic and losing weight has since been more difficult… but...

    Frustrated about body size and TDEE

    Has anyone felt frustrated by the fact that you are in a petite body and therefore don't get to eat as much as other people do? I love food and maybe this sounds dramatic but I feel this sense like I am slightly robbed of the experience of being able to enjoy food as much as non petite people...

    I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting this. None of my clothes fit anymore!

    I’m 5’2”, and I’ve lost 43 pounds so far. 160-117. Somehow, I didn’t anticipate that all of my favorite clothes just… wouldn’t fit anymore. I logically knew it would happen, but I guess it just seemed so far away? Like, I had some shirts that were a little tight and I wanted to fit in them...

    I’m so burned out of calorie counting. Has anyone had success with taking a break?

    I see new recipes I want to try all the time, but then realize I’d have to weigh everything out and input the data and figure out how much of it I can eat, and then I don’t even want to make it. I feel like calorie counting is disturbing my relationship with food (food is good, should be...

    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...

    How do I eat more?

    I'm 5'4 125lbs, my maintenance macros seem to be 1650-1700 cals with 125g p An acquaintance of mine is shorter than me (like maybe 5') 120lbs and her CUTTING cals are 1800. How? I'm so jealous. She's been lifting for about 8 or 10 years while I've been lifting for 4. Is that the difference...

    I guess I’d better get used to barely eating anything 🙄

    Just ranting. 5’2, trying to lose weight, need to eat 1400 to be at a deficit at my current weight. Been doing that, plus exercise, and I’ve already lost 4 lbs (yay!) This got me wondering what my my maintenance will be once I lose weight and hit my goal. At THAT weight? My maintenance will be...

    Does anyone's weight go to one part of their body?

    All of my goddamned weight goes to my tits. Now you might be thinking, "Wow she's humble bragging," but I very much so promise you I'm not. I normally am at a DD at my goal weight. After COVID, a new relationship, and some traumatic life events I have gained almost 40lbs. I'm pretty sure I'm...

    To the short torsoed and short waisted people - what are the upsides/benefits? Can only spot disadvantages rn..

    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...

    Rant about people trying to look skinny or have a x inch waist

    I’m so sick of reading posts about trying to cinch the waistline or get to a weight that’s beyond lower than the healthy weight you’re already at. This is a FITNESS sub. Focus on HEALTH. Focus on strength. Focus on nutrition. Sure we’re here to look a certain way and lose fat, but the main point...

    Vent …. I feel hopeless

    I know this may trigger many overweight / obese people but - I am skinny and I hate it. Growing up I was always petite and I always struggle to gain weight. Now that I’m a young adult , I desperately want to put flesh on my body. I’m underweight (under 100 pounds) and 5’2 , I feel like I...

    My summer plan

    Hey there! I’m 5’2 and 215 pounds. I gained about 75 pounds over 3 years. I’m a first year teacher and I’m so excited to take this paid time off to really focus on myself and my health. I have a plan I’ve created and wanted some input on it! -daily yoga -glutes 3x a week (just want to see how...

    I am so mad at myself for not strength training sooner

    I felt the “rant” flair was the most appropriate, though I’m basically ranting about myself, lol. I’ve finally added strength training in because I’ve stalled for a hot minute in weight loss, and honestly got bored of doing so much cardio all the time. I’m amazed at how good I feel with even...

    I went off track for FOUR DAYS and I gained 3 pounds. Just feeling really frustrated. 5’2” SW 125 GW 120 CW 126.6

    I’m just really upset. For the past 3 months I’ve been pretty damn good on my health journey. Tracking all my macros/cals, working out 4-5 times a week, getting my steps in. Started at 125 and got down to 122 and have stayed around 122/123. Starting Friday I didn’t track what I ate and I...

    I’m so upset…

    Girlies…I’ve been choking down sickly sweet electrolytes every morning for two years during my workouts and hating it. So I finally bit the bullet and ordered LMNT and I’m PISSED about how much I like it. FFS I’m going to go broke 😂😂😂 (not sponsored I swear. But LMNT please hmu)

    I’m 20 and 5’2” but very stressed about maintaining my weight

    TW: mention of ED This is kind of just a vent post but also looking for advice. I’m studying something that will probably land me a sedentary office job, which I’m starting to panic about. I’m currently a healthy weight and don’t mind my body, but seeing posts on here where some people have...
