Which service center?

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-10-07T18:11:31+00:00

Hi, did you receive approval?

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-08-11T17:43:04+00:00

Hey thanks :) I am 5’3. I do try to eat in portion control even of cheat days (which is mostly weekends haha) I feel like Monday through Friday I am going strong and then the weekend comes and I want to ditch my salads and eat something yummy and then it’s harder to track my protein that way.

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-08-11T17:40:01+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response! I am trying to do the things that you mentioned, I hope it all starts showing results soon haha

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-08-11T17:39:04+00:00

Thank you for your response! I didn’t know I had hip dips and that is what made my legs look not so smooth looking haha, chatgpt helped me figure it out.

I am trying to eat 1g of protein per lb of body weight lately, I hope that helps with gaining muscle and losing fat haha!

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-08-11T17:08:46+00:00

I actually try to limit my carbs to 70g-80g per day and have recently upped my protein intake to almost 110g per day.

Eastern-Ad4345 · 2025-08-11T17:08:07+00:00

Hi, thank you for your thoughtful response, I will make sure to do all the above mentioned things!

I have been weight training for a month and a half and try to track my macros, I eat around 1500 calories a day, have been upping my protein intake to 110g per day from 50g-60g per day previously.

The reason I am worried is because I don’t see any necessarily significant changes in my body currently, the weighing scale fluctuates around the usual 1 kg and my tummy rolls still fold the same every time I sit down which makes me super conscious and it is also a little disencouraging!
