me too! 5’6 here, i’m 36 years old and have been 47kg since i was 15. since the quarantine started i’ve been trying hard to eat at least 2500 calories a day and working out at home with sworkit app and managed to gain 2kg in 5 weeks. my goal is at least 55kg - i’ve never been over 50kg. i also wonder if i’ll have to keep…

bumping this topic! any more inspiring before after pics to share? i’m back 😆

feel u girl! i’m 5’6 and 105, feeling not so good in my body :( i’ve always been skinny but last couple of years got extra bony after some bad relationships. i’m brazilian so a lot of pressure here to have kardashian type thick thighs and big *kitten* which i know i’ll never have :((( body shaming is not just for fat…

i feel you girl, i’m 5’6 and currently weighing 46kg so yeah totally underweight, aand i’m Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro, where people are obsessed with fitness and toned beach bodies with massive thighs. i’ve always been skinny and lately skinnier than ever and i’m always getting remarks about how i should eat more and…

thanks 🙏🏽 yep i’ve noticed in the past that when i do manage to gain a few pounds it gors straight to my belly. then i end up with that skinny girl fat belly look. 🙄 at this point i don’t really mind so much as all i want is some fat over my bones.... people have told me lifting will help, what about doing specific work…

thanks so much to everyone who replied! i guess next step is to figure out some kind of exercise i can do to build muscle without having to go to the gym!? i'm sure they exist?! like Sarah, i'm into hiking and yoga and swimming and dance too. will those suffice, ir is it really better to actually lift weights? any…

hi, thanks so much for sharing your story, it's really very inspiring! i also can't stand the thought of going to the gym, but am totally willing to exercise outdoors. i guess there's no escape from that!

thank u so much for your reply. what is hiit? do u suggest any outdoors activities or workout i can do at home? i'm so not going to the gym :D

there's definitely some extra fat in my belly, that's where it goes to first. nothing too extreme, but i'm scared if i keep eating this much eventually it will not be good :# i guess i do need to start thinking about adding some muscle

thanks for replying. i have to be realistic and say going to the gym is not going to happen, but i'm willing to workout at home or outdoors. do you think push ups would help with adding muscle on my chest? what are good alternatives to weight lifting?

me too!
