You kook fantastic! You must be sooo proud, good for you on those push ups keep inspiring me, you do. My scale won’t budge...but workout quite a bit...so such is my journey
Wow amazing! I am just starting out do u have any tips pls or are u on instagram pls? X
Hi! Thank you! I don't have Instagram.
- clean eating
- weight and introduce everything in MFP
- 25% calorie deficit (this applies to your TDEE)
- workout 4-5 times a week, 75% strength/resistance and 25% cardio. In the rest days do yoga/stretching, preferably for flexibility
- eat you daily calorie goal
- hit your macros goals too (I advise 40% carbs, 30% proteins and fats)... after I increased my protein intake in March I saw big changes
- take monthly photos for progress comparison
- plan and prepare your workouts, your meals, everything (I plan and register my meals 4-5 days in advance and I prepare the workout schedule for the entire month
- be organized and don't compromise
- don't let your body go into routine... change the type of workouts and/or intensity monthly
- allow yourself an indulging day per month
- don't impose to yourself absurd restrictions.. eat just about anything but the healthy version and in small portions (I eat daily something sweet but it's usually protein pancake, protein bar, protein shake, fruits)
- learn to be disciplines because you won't feel like working out every time
- cook delicious and diverse meals, this way you won't crave for what others are eating
- drink plenty of water (2-3 liters)
- try to stay in contact with people that have the same fitness goals (the support and motivation matter a lot)
- read and learn about everything (I've learned so much about sport and nutrition in this journey... people are simply to lazy to search, learn and apply)
- set a few major long-time goals and many little ones (they will give you a confidence and motivation boos when you'll achieve them)

Thank you! I really do feel really proud. My mom is shocked because I had no interest at all in any sports (not even walk in the park) all my life and now I workout 5-6 days a week and look like this. What I see in the mirror motivates me to do even more.
I am so happy with my progress! The photos from this weekend are gorgeous but as I'm in a thong, I can't risk being warned again about Community's guidelines, so that's why I've censored them a bit.
I'm also very stressed and nervous for the last 1.3 kg that I have to lose until the end of June. This last bit is the harderest. I really want to fit in the deadline and be 57 kg (the last time I had this weight was in 2010).
Meanwhile I started a chin-ups challenge. I can only hang now but hopefully I will gain strength, like it happened with the push-ups. :-)
I also started rope jumping.
As a follow-up on a discussion from Facebook, I started trying some yoga poses. It seems that the little stretching I've done twice a week worked wonders, so I've made a 6 months flexibility challenge. Join me! :-)
Maybe for once in my life I'll be able to do the splits. :-)
Hmmm... I just noticed that instead of the progress for 4.5 months I wrote 5.5. Ooops. :-)
Meanwhile.... I've conquered my first yoga pose from the challenge. The Deaf man's pose:

This is it for the start. :-) Good luck!
