I have some good ones for you. And I have zero shame so here we go. Posture goes a long way.
5'1"
Five kids
126lbs. (23.9 BMI)
Diastasis recti
Lifting weights since 2015, including through my fifth pregnancy. Currently following a full body program three days a week.
Highest weight ever: 220lbs
I don't know what my body fat % is
*extra context: I had a baby almost 16 months ago. I finished that pregnancy at 195lbs.
I have to definitely work on my posture.. do you have any suggestions ...
Age: 48
BMI or Height/Weight/Bone Structure: Currently 21.7/ 5'2" 122.2
BF%: If you know 17.2
Number of Pregnancies:1 and currently 11 Weeks pregnant
Medical Conditions affecting appearance:
I had a bike crash in December 2018 and 6 surgeries later I am mostly healed, but will see how growing a human will change things. In the second picture I'm 8 weeks pregnant
Primary form of exercise: I am a cardio junkie, Swimmer & cycling are my favorite. I also do yoga and HIT
Number of years doing aforementioned exercise: I don't know, like forever, but last four years I have been more invested.
My mirror is terrible, so sorry if it’s not super clear 😂
This was about 6 months postpartum with my first. I’m now pregnant with my second, due July of this year
Height/Weight: 5”2, 128 pre-pregnancy with my first and 126 pre-pregnancy with my second. I’m sitting at about 131-132 at 15 weeks pregnant.
Age: 21
BF% before both pregnancies: 22-23.
No health conditions!
Exercise: I was an avid weight lifter before kids but over the past 2 years, life got busy (terrible excuse I know) but I got a bit off track. I’m starting to lift again now, nice and easy, since I haven’t been super consistent. But I lifted from ages 15-19 pretty seriously.
