Thank you! I lost 13lbs initially in first 2weeks now I'm stuck at 133lbs I'd lose 2 lbs then gain then lose but not getting lesser than 133. I'm wearing smaller clothes though especially tops and waist have really gone down just the thighs are stubborn... I guess I just don't wanna hurt my metabolism doing this…

yes I do meet protein macros coz the shakes are low calorie or grilled chicken breasts and eggs....I'm not scared of carbs but personally when I eat food higher in carbs even brown rice I tend to overeat not get full for long and crave the bad stuff so protein helps me keep my hunger in check.... calories are for energy…

I am in a deficit as I said I hardly get to 1200 but try get over 100g protein becoz I want to maintain my muscles. What is more important a deficit or protein intake? Like is it fine to eat 900 cals with 100g protein or need to up calories to not make too bigger deficit?
-
I havent been tested for anything... I aim for 100g or above for protein and i'm eating healthily and no junk whatsoever...I'm scared my baby stretched me too much i lost some elasticity :( Now i'm focusing on lifting and an occasional spinning class
-
Thank you I'm sure I'll be fine

Muscle does not weight more than fat! A pound is a pound regardless of what it is. How can 1 pound be more than another pound makes no sense. It's the space the fat takes is larger and makes u look skinny fat, flabby or "bloated" but muscle is dense makes u look smaller and tight. That's why a 120lbs person who lifts looks…

Start lifting now! You don't need exercise to lose weight, you need a calorie deficit. U can achieve that by eating less or add cardio to burn the extra calories as long as u maintain a calorie deficit. How you look "tone" will come from lifting...heavy...but start small perfect your form and keep adding weights. Start…

squats and hip thrusts....can't decide but it's all about the butt hahaha
-
I squat, deadlift, leg presses and hip thrust...my butt is bigger, firmer and higher up and overall legs are getting defined I also had water retention and thot I had "bulked" but persisted and now my pants fit better and my belts are now too long....heavy lifting is the best!!!

which one is better between weighted glute bridge and weighted hip thrusts? hip thrusts are weird doing at gym with every guy watching
-
now weight has stalled. I eat low carb coz I tend to go insane on bread and sweet stuff if I dnt control it. now I aim for grains on workout days and will see how that goes
-
my weight has fluctuated dropped a few in beginning coz I started eating low carb calorie, after week 2 weight went up by 2 pounds. To date I've lost 13 lbs but was told it's water from low carbing
-
I'm new to lifting and yes my thighs have firmed up and not as jiggly but gained 2 inch on them....I'm hoping it is water weight swelling and it will subside how long does it take for the water to subside? I've seen posts from women lifting heavy with small muscular thighs and thot I shud try it as well... does cardio help…

thanks decided to do hiit I'll see next workout Friday
-
I do all 5X5 to max and i was exhausted after the workout i felt like throwing up en knees wobbly walking down the steps, I have the app and still progressing. Does not being sore mean i didnt workout properly or didnt push? I know a few people at gym who say they dont become sore yet they are very fit....
-
Wow great job! how did u do it and how long did it take? Been a week for me now, I'm 5'2 SW: 162, CW:151 GW: 128 I'm primarily lifting coz i dont like running or cardio but will start add HIIT this week but trying to watch what i eat
-
How many workouts are advisable? I see stronglifts has 3 but is that too little or enough to see real changes or add a few more?
-
Thank you

Wow!! you all look awesome! if i may ask what training program your following? stronglifts NRFL?
-
I'm looking for the most beneficial mix, both weights and cardio although i have reduced my calory intake.... I havent started training as yet because i need to have a plan and not just figure it out as i go... Goal is to have a toned not flabby and flat stomach...
-
Thank you I'll do that now :smile:
