Lol. Pretty much.
Just stop with the weights and do other activities like walking, running, swimming, etc.0 -

OP, you look great and based on the pic could probably stand to gain a little muscle if anything. You definitely need to be careful losing more weight.
That's currently not me (a ways back), but a great picture to hide my face and keep a little anonymity!
Self-validation much? I think you're bordering on a serious body dysmorphic disorder and you need to seek professional help with this.0 -
Stop the weight training and start training for a marathon.

Are you thinking of sprinters? Marathon runners are not muscular and long slow cardio does not build muscle.

I eat 1200 calories a day, but do I need to cut down even more? Is it even possible with my BMR to lose 2 pounds a week?"
Dysmorphic though patterns echo through her posts. I doubt anyone who is scared of being sore from a workout class is putting in the effort to put on muscle ... if it were even possible with their diet.
Basically over the past year I was doing weight training and gained muscle/definition in my legs. I stopped doing it for 1-2 months, gained 10 pounds of weight (or so) and wanted to start weight training (but nothing too intense) (and yes I can totally be scared of being sore! don't judge, some people don't like the feeling). Oddly enough I was losing weight/gaining muscle last year. So I didn't understand why I wasn't getting the same result the second time around.
