seeking advice

Hey everyone! I would appreciate some advice here. I’m 5’3” F and 148 lbs, 28F Eating around 1600 calories daily (using MyFitnessPal) and aiming for 70-80 grams of protein. Working out 5-6 times a week, burning about 450-600 calories each session (though I know the fitness tracker might...

Hello everyone, Thanks so much in advance! But I’d like some advice and clarification. I’m very confused about how many calories I’m supposed to be consuming a day to lose weight/fat. I gained 30+lbs after losing my grandma to COVID at the beginning of this year and have just started to really...

Hi! I’m a 4’8” (144cm) F that is finding hard to lose weight because imagine my TDEE 🙈 I started trying losing weight when I hit 62kg. I’m tracking my calories since February and eating 1200 a day (I didnt want to eat lower than that) but i’ve stalled at 58-59 kg. I do exercise but not as...

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for a total of 18 months and I’ve been able to take my weight from 165 to 130. Unfortunately, I kinda plateaued at 130 because seasonal depression really hit me when fall/winter came last year. I’ve been the same weight for 6 months now, but I’d still like to...

I sometimes jog outside but generally run on treadmill in afternoons/evening. I am up early so working out not an option then and usually head to gym after work due to combo of weather (frequent rains due to rainy season) and safety (I don't jog outdoors once the light is gone). I can go much...

To preface I know a big factor in this is genetics, but generally speaking, at what weight did you notice a change in the size of your hips and thighs? I'm 155.5 lbs down from 177 and haven't seen much of a change in these areas. I'm still very square shaped from the top of my hips to the...

I (26F, 5’0 on a good day, SW: 178, CW: ~120, GW:112) am desperately trying to shed these last few lbs, but having trouble finding a caloric deficit that is reasonable for my activity level and physique goals. I’ll preface this that I am trying to be less focused on my scale weight, and moreso...

This may not be a solvable issue. My body is really picky with shoes. I have a very high arch, bad knees and really bad scoliosis, so I have to have really good support when I run. I went to get fitted at a running shoe store and they suggested these for my body type. Right now I'm running in a...

Long post ahead. I'm just frustrated and looking for advice. I'm 5'1, 115lbs, 29F. Over the last 3 months, I've increased my activity level with the hopes of losing 5 lbs. I started at 1600 calories then went down to 1400. I tend to gain weight in my chest and lower belly and I can't find tops...

Hi Guys, I went in for a yearly checkup because I have ADHD And use concerta 36 mg for almost a year now. Meanwhile, I also started my weight train journey 3-4 months ago and I gained some weight. I've always had low blood pressure (all ladies of my dad's side of the family have this) and I...

(Yes, I have searched the forum for mentions of Smalletics and read all the threads. :-D ) I've been doing CICO in addition to my usual (longstanding) strength and cardio routine since June with modest results (0.5lb weekly loss). I recently stumbled across the r/intermittentfasting sub and...

Height: 5’1” Current weight: 128 Goal weight: 110 26 yo, and I started tracking activity and calories/macros again this week and I want to make sure I’m doing everything right so I’m not slipping back into old habits. My goals are to lose fat and build lean muscle. Calories: 1300 Carbs...

Height: 5’1” Starting weight: 138 lbs Current weight: 131 Goal weight: 115? I’ve been doing 1200 cals with at least 110-115 g protein per day. My main exercise is doing strength training with weights, while walking at least 15000 steps per day with my treadmill/desk combo. Is this realistic...

Background: 5'2", 120-122 lbs, my scale says 21% body fat, inbody scan a year ago said 31%, I think it's somewhere in between based on how I look. Mid 30s, work a demanding sedentary job, looking to get back down to 108-112 which is my "happy" weight, with body fat in the low 20s...

Today I was proud of myself because I went to the local high school track and walked 4.17 miles in 1 hour, 10 minutes. I easily could have walked a few more miles, but my kids were with me and I couldn't keep them out for too long in the drizzling rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be pouring all...

l’ve been thinking of splitting my 3 big meals into smaller meals. A lot of times I get snacky after eating a big meal. But I’ve read that it’s good to leave 3-4 hours between meals to allow glucagon to release so you can burn fat while sedentary. But I know that many gals also eat like 4-5...

I started Stronger By The Day last week (after doing a simple push pull leg routine for 6 months, 3-5x per week with just 1 leg day per week) and am finding it really hard to lift 4 days/week on SBTD because I find I need more rest with 2 heavy squat days, 2 dead lift, etc. and am constantly...

Hi, please help me. I started new antidepressants last week and my appetite is now literally three times bigger. I am 23F, 55kg/120lb, 162cm/5’3, 36 body fat percentage (or every tanita i’ve ever tried is broken), dry muscle mass 19-20kg, so as you see, i’m an extreme skinny fat. To this moment...

Hi friends! I am just 7 pounds away from my gw (117-116). I do a lot of hiit, and body weights (with weights 1-2 a week) recently took up running. I typically work out 6/7 days (running for 2 miles, 1-1.5 hrs of workouts, and additionally a 2 mile walk with my dog). I eat relatively healthy. I...
