That's currently not me (a ways back), but a great picture to hide my face and keep a little anonymity!

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…

Unfortunately I've been doing strength training for over a year now, so it's not a new fluid thing :( I'm going for a very petite slim look. I've been at a point where it was just muscle with no fat, and I didn't like the shape of my thighs. Now that I've gained weight, I think I just want to lose the muscle definition as…

Dark circles: reduce sodium, drink more water. Acne: Make sure you wash your face before and after working out (clogged pores). It happens to me too.

Yes I've seen the doctor about it :)

Yeah it's pretty light. 5lb weights for the first 5-10minutes, and the rest is really barre/pilates/cardio.

I don't drink any sodas (haha, I hate the bubbly feeling!). And I don't get periods anymore (lucky me right?). Perhaps it might just be starting a new exercise routine. It's odd because I did barre classes the beginning of the year and then I did Insanity over the summer and I've never really had this issue in the…

The way close fit and the number on the scale. I weight myself each time exactly when I wake up. I'm not sure if I'm dehydrated, I drink 1.5 liters of water everyday.

Thanks for the reply! Why would I be retaining water? Sodium?
-
Thanks I calculated the TDEE! Is that the amount of calories I should aim to eat to lose weight?
-
Thank you so much for all your replies! Especially StaciMarie and KittyNinja! It makes more sense now. My exercise regime is weight training/cardio (barre classes) 60 minutes a day. Most of my "fat" is stored in my thigh, and I'd really like to lean them out, so yes, I am weight training. 120lbs is not an underweight BMI…

Hey! I go to Uni too and I started my weight loss without exercising at all. I literally just watched what I ate and dropped pounds quickly. Soon after I lost, maybe 65% of the weight I wanted, I joined barre classes for toning. I'm so glad I did! My butt looks amazing and I'm so toned :) I realized that if I had just lost…

5'6 and 128lbs currently :) Goal is 115lb!

sucrose(s), carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids (proteins), will eventually be used to create energy for the body. They undergo different process, but when the body needs it, it will take it. Sugar > carbs > lipids > amino acids is the order in which the easiest way your body will obtain energy from. That's why when you eat…

I stay away from cardio and do barre classes instead. Is 1200 really low?
-
Oh wow. Those are very wise words :) Thank you. I'll try to do it for three days!

If I'm sore the next day can I work out again or do I have to wait until the soreness goes away?
