Amazing! I remember your pictures back when I started in 2013/2013. You look awesome

The scale can be a liar. Your shape definitely improved. I actually have a similar experience right now. I am kinda at GW but started again going to the gym since Feb. I am doing strength/endurance classes and while I see I got thinner and relatives and friends comment and ask me about it, my weight increased. Go figure :)

As many said portion size is a big point. When I was with my father in New York we ordered a normal pizza for the two of us and still left some over. My father is a tall guy but that pizza was enormous. That kind of pizza equates more to a family sized pizza here which you eat with two adults and 1-2 children. Another…

Height: 5'9" (175cm) upper body small frame lower body medium but I have very wide hips SW: 156.5lbs (71kg) GW range: 134 - 138lbs (61-63kg) I am basically maintaining but this winter had me at 143lbs. It was cold and I got lazy. So currently I am working on getting down to my GW again. I know my starting weight doesn't…

^^This It bowls down to which clientele you would like to attract.

It's actually just hour away from home but the way the trains work I would leave at 5:30 and arrive at ~6:35 at the gym. The gym is close to work and afterward it would only take me 15 minutes to work.

I weighed only a few times but always at the same time of day. The last two weeks I weighed more often and I am always around 142lbs :/. I will try to get down to 138lbs again over the next few weeks. Although I don't notice the weight I just like that number more. I re-started going to the gym and was yesterday the first…

I am amazed that some stand up so early to excercise at home. Somehow that sounds even more difficult. I don't know if I would have the willpower for it. The bed would be too alluring :D. I'll try to stand up tomorrow at 5am for the first time. Wish me luck. It's just a 30mins workout at the gym but I decided I'll go to…

Be proud about yourself! You are ahead of many others in your age group. Being able to clear out your attic without any pains afterwards is great. Hell, that probably puts you ahead of many younger than you. I think we often don't notice the many positive advantages of our fitness routines because often there is no Wow!…

My bf is half supportive. It's quite strange to be honest. We are pretty active and do a lot of it together but he is slightly overweight because he simply eats too much. He decided to start 30 days shred and it motivated me to do it too. However, I am more consistent with it. Now he tries to make me shift my workouts to…

Ja sicherlich, aber es gibt auch ein deutschsprachiges Forum. Oberhalb des Threads steht: "You are currently viewing the message boards in English". Dort kannst du es auf Deutsch umstellen.

She actually looks 6 years younger on the right. Pretty amazing

I am fairly slim because I am 5'9" so I usually notice 4lb in both directions because at this weight I mainly gain and loose at my upper thights and hips I was under the impression that gaining 4lbs of muscle mass is a lot for a woman without heavy lifting but maybe it's a combination of a little fat and muscle mass. I do…

I am at a normal weight but my calves are 15 (L) and 15.5 (R). I never had "thin" legs as I seem to carry most of my fat in my hips and legs first. However, I loved the improved look they got with running and strength training and I am starting to accept them they way they are. Hard to fight genetics anyway :tongue:

Wow can't believe you are only a month at it. It's quite a difference!

Others said it before me but you are amazing. It takes dedication and willpower and you ought to be proud of yourself for persevering :flowerforyou:

I don't think "Naturally thin" exists. I knew two people in my life who really could eat "whatever they wanted" but they were both diagnosed with hyperthoroidism. It wasn't severe enough for medication but enough to be a hassle, nonetheless. Both had to eat to keep their weight and if they couldn't due to sickness or other…

You certainly have very nice curves :). Nice dress btw looks very elegant and classy on you.

Amazing doesn't even look like the same person. You look 15 years younger in your after.

That's really a huge difference and very pretty back :)

Put my mobile phone into my lap, pressed my thighs together to keep it there and the phone fell right through to the ground. I was seriously confused at first but apparently my thights don't touch anymore all the way even if I press them together.

This happens to my all the freaking time. However, despite (their well-intentioned but) wrong advice most of them are quite positive and enthusiastic that I do weights as a woman

I read that recently in an article and it actually makes sense. After my first weight training session I was in so much pain but now even though I lift already more there is no muscles soreness at all. Funny how that works. I also remember from horse riding that I would get very sore leg muscles if I started again after…

Probably water retention due to muscles soreness from strength training. In the week I started strength training I suddenly weighed 3lbs more and I was sore as hell. A week later it was gone and I lost even some more Anyway I would count +0.6lbs as gaining weight. Even if you weigh exactly at the same day at the same time…

Yup today is such a day. On those day I usually also don't get the feeling I am full no matter how much I eat

Narrowest part. I have high hips which end where my navel is. It's kind of difficult to measure at navel level because from there my hips curve into my waist and if I try to measure the tape tends to slight up and no matter how carefully I try to measure the numbers are not consistent. Anyway, I am 5'9, 139lbs ( 63kg) and…

I usually eat half a greek yoghurt mixed with berries, a tea spoon of honey and some cereals together with a protein bar.

I had 2lbs (1kg), 3lbs (1.5kg) and 4.5lbs (2kg) weights and used them as needed and if I had to start with the lowest I always tried to move up later on

Wow only 5lbs difference? Looks far more! Are you weightlifting
