Choosing to eat your carbs at night will make you fat Carbs are the enemy for weight loss You need to do daily cardio for weight loss You can eat as much "clean food" as you want, you'll only gain weight on "bad food"

I drink a gallon but I'm extremely active and more muscle mass means you need more water. At first, you need to make yourself but then afterward, your body is used to it and you're like huh..I'm craving/needing more water now. I buy those cheap gallon jugs of water like a friggin bro lol but that lets me know exactly how…

Don't feel defeated! 2 months is a good time to create a good habit and see some minor changes (I see some!) IMO but it's not long enough for drastic change and that's ok. It may take time but it takes time to get healthy or unhealthy. You're doing great! If it was easy everyone would be walking around with 6 packs but…

I plan to either have a small treat daily or a bigger treat meal (not whole day) one day a week. I fit it into my calories, macros, and goals (whether it's weight loss, maintenance, or slight gain). I log it all. I don't look at a food as good or bad.

True :) those who are used to looking at athletic women are way more accurate in guessing

Truth :)

I just wanted to make a point about how the scale is not always the best measurement and that girls shouldn't be afraid of weightlifting because they'll blow up into huge bodybuilders. All the things I used to think. And that quality weight is something you shouldn't be afraid of. BMI doesn't account for it especially when…

I wish a couple training sessions could almost magically make me grow more shoulders or whatever it is I want lol so don't worry...it takes a lot of effort to gain significant muscle size. But weight training will actually make you look leaner, smaller, and more compact. You sound like a beginner so I'd definitely get some…

24.7 yes so if I have a big meal I can cross over to overweight lol so I'm "borderline" oh well I can live with that

Thanks for the links, very informative!

I prefer cashew milk now to almond..although I like both!

Dammit I knew I was doing something (like not liking milk) that caused me to miss out on growing naturally bigger breasts!!! Lol.

I know it's not 100 percent accurate but you can track your progress if you use a consistent method of measurement. I personally got measured at a hospital, a full body electrical scan I forget what it's called like a scale but it takes your individual body parts and reads fat free mass vs fat mass, water, etc. It said I…

I'm sure it was suggested but..cauliflower "mashed potatoes" you can eat a ton of it, low calorie, delicious, with your protein of choice will fill you up!!

Goals. Set your personal goals..not anyone elses, not what others want you to have as your goals..but whatever you want to accomplish. It is valid, important, and motivating for you :)

I'm at about 18% which is not low for me but normal. I'm not underweight at this point so I wouldn't say super slim.. And I got heavier on purpose trying to build muscle so it's def not too low for me or many other active females. I think the averages are based on the average population a lot of the times..not necessarily…

I love following amazing transparently real fit females on instagram

Why not? Girly is not an insult lol

65

Girly :)

Loose vs lose yep. Squat-rack bicep curling/chit chat time today was not fun. Ppl who make loud, gross animal sounds when they eat lol

Cute hippie girl :)

lol come on we are all semi professional athletes ;)

I put my earphones in and don't make eye contact because I'm there to work my butt off. I mean on. And the only distractions happen is when people chit chat in front of the equipment you want to use grr lol

I currently weigh similar to the weight I started with when I was overweight but my lean muscle is much higher and my bodyfat percentage is much lower (and this is me not dieting at the moment, because when I want to I can shred it down more). patience is key here, it took me half a year to see a great amount of difference…

Bad things can happen if I skip breakfast lol (cravings,irritability, low energy, hunger). Especially if you're active, I think it's important for most people

true, dammit

To maintain, 4-5 days a week an hour of weightlifting only. To decrease some weight, I add HIIT 3 x week for 15-20 min and a caloric decrease from 2500 to 2000-2200 cals. Cardio is not my choice of exercise but you gotta do it sometimes! At least for cardiovascular health purposes :)
