seeking advice

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 -...

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...

I started a medication that can cause weight gain as a side effect. I’d gained ten pounds in a brief period of time (maybe 1-2 months). I worked out for almost 2 weeks now and tried to focus on protein and tracking cals. But now I am 6 lbs heavier than before I started exercising? Is this...

I love to see the petite and dense aesthetic on this sub, but I don't think I can achieve it. I have been working on losing weight off and on since June 2021 when I weighed 145 (all time high and not comfortable at all). I would lose some weight, get derailed by trips, get disheartened, give up...

Hi everyone! New to r/petitefitness (and fitness in general 😅) and thought I’d get some advice from ladies who have been doing this for a while! I’m 27F, 5’2.5 and in March I weighed 212 lbs. I suffer from depression and April was the lowest I’ve ever experienced without actually feeling...

My stats don’t really matter in this context, but I’m 5’1” and have been committed to losing weight for about a year now. I’ve been taking the slow approach and am down 15 pounds in 12 months, but I FEEL good most days and feel like I’m fueling myself while also losing weight. I’m currently 130...

Hi, I've been walking and doing exercises daily at home but I want to get started at an actual gym. I am wondering what actual ITEMS I need. Obviously a water bottle, sports bra, leggings (which I am having a hard time finding ones that don't roll down b/c of my large stomach), good shoes and...

Hi! Looking into buying resistance band leggings. Anyone here ever tried them before? Thoughts?

Hi all, Topic - I am wondering realistically how long it takes to lower your body fat % and an estimated timeline of how far away I am from meeting my fitness goals. Background and yap - I've (160cm) been losing weight for around 6 months now and am down from 72kg to 57-58kg with an original...

I've always struggled with this. I've always been obese, not just overweight, and although originally it was due to childhood abuse and trauma... I'm 43 years old. While those things still affect my choices and my control (I binge in fugue states), a lot of the time I'm telling myself "it's...

I’ve been going to the gym twice a week since October but not really seen any improvements, not even newbie gains! Hoping someone might be able to tell me why or give some advice..? For context I’m 24f, ~51kg, 5ft 4’, I go 2 times a week for 35-40mins per session. Each session consists of 5...

I wish they’d let us post images so I could just show u the neat little notes but I guess I’ll just have to copy and paste it all and hope the formats good :( ——————— started dec 18 with: weight: 138ib, 5’4 78.5 cm waist (in the morning; night is 81cm) 25 cm bicep circumference of raised arm...

I started lifting a month and a half ago so I’m still very new. I’m about 5’5 145lbs. My squat and my deadlift are both 120. I know usually you’re supposed to be able to lift more weight in deadlift than squat. I’ve been wanting to work work up to a plate for deadlift, but I can’t even lift it...

I’m 5ft 27F and I’ve been following the same schedule since the beginning of the year I started at 148 and I’m down to a fluctuating weight of 140 to 144. In the beginning I was actually losing weight but now I’ve been stuck at this weight for the past four months. I follow a M/W/F workout...

I’ve been weight lifting since Thanksgiving of last year, with a month-long break in April due to injury and vacation, and for the most past, I’ve been excited to see how many body has changed. I lost 15 pounds doing HIIT before weightlifting, but this morning I stepped on the scale and I was...

Hello everyone! I’m feeling at a loss regarding how much I should be eating. I am 4’9” and recently lost 30 pounds (123 to 93). I was eating an average of 1300 kcal per day. My activity level is about 8,000 steps per day, and I do Olympic-style weightlifting twice per week (snatches...

I used to very active and danced/trained 5x a week. I quit dancing in 2021 and ever since then completely let myself go. I stopped staying active and stopped caring about taking care of my body and what I ate. I put on about 20 lbs and the past 6 months, it’s definitely had an effect on my...

5’2 32 years old and I’m at my heaviest 150 pounds. Since Covid I reached 130 lbs and have been fluctuating between 130 and 148 since last year but I’m shocked that the scale that I’ve been avoiding is 150. I’ve gained 20 pounds in 6 months 😔. My lowest weight has been 130 lbs since 2020 and it...

so after a long miserable time of just restricting calories and nothing else ive finally decided to try building muscle and eating better instead. the problem is i have no idea where to start, i’m really scared of doing something wrong and injuring myself or building the wrong muscles and...

I am an intermediate lifter who started lifting weights during COVID and love it. I thought I would hate leg day but it is my favorite part of my routine. I do a 4 day split (upper/lower). My question is this: How far do you go down on Squats? I heard ass to grass is for power lifters. I was...
