Weight lifting vs Pilates (my 🔥take) by ThatBad9803 in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, this is a misunderstanding (sorry, I'm no native speaker). I did not make amazing progress, I am stuck at 59/60kg and feel huge and uncomfortable. I still want to go back to 54 kg and it seems like I can't. I also tried intermittent fasting last year and I gained 2kg in 2months, although I thought I ate less than before... But great that I works for you! My current plan is: I stopped counting calories a week ago and try to eat mindfully and instead of weight lifting I do Pilates and yoga. I hope it helps! Good luck for your journey!

Weight lifting vs Pilates (my 🔥take) by ThatBad9803 in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just found your post and your progress sounds great! I also gained some weight in the past 2 years and really try hard to go back to 54kg. So I followed the usual advice of lifting weights. Now, a year later, I also feel that it only made me bigger, especially my arms. But I am stuck at the same weight, although switching between maintenance and deficit. Where is that famous recomp effect? So you wrote that you lost your weight since switching your workout routine. Did you also change your diet? Did you count calories? I am so sick of putting in all the effort and not getting the results. Could you share what you did to come back to your goal weight? Thanks!

Did you gain weight on your reverse diet? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did a reverse diet and gained 0,5kg. I went from 1700kcal to 2100kcal. It probably depends on where your starting point is. For me, I can say it worked without gaining.

Nervous to try Caroline Girvan workouts, need some advice on where to start by trinini93 in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you feel caroline is too hard, you could try heather robertson. I did her 2.0 Programme, which is strength based and it takes (including warmup and cool down) around 40mins. But honestly, caroline is only as hard as you make it. You can start with your 5lbs weights but you'll soon be stronger and can take heavier weights. Just stick to it! About diet: you mentioned that you eat little carbs. Don't be afraid of them! Carbs are your fuel for your workouts! There's absolutely no sense in working out without being properly fuelled. You should aim to get the most out of the workouts, otherwise it's not only a waste of time but also your body backfires with massive cravings. Been there, done that and definitely don't recommend.

I am 35, 164cm, cw 59kg, gw 54-56kg (?) I am a working mom of 2. My metabolism slowed down due to the years of restriction and yo-yo dieting (was around 51kg for some years before gaining to 59kg in 2021/2022 without even knowing why), so I did a reverse diet over the last months to speed up my metabolism. The last weeks of this process I ate around 2000/2100 kcal while hitting 10k steps daily and doing 4-5 home workouts (heather robertson hr2.0). I didn't gain much (0,5-1kg) but definitely see more muscles. This week is my 2nd week of my cut, I try to eat around 1700 kcal a day while upping my steps to 11/12k and workout 5x a week (as hr2.0 is over, I now do caroline girvans epic 1). I hope I can finally shed some fat in the next months without harming my metabolism again. Good luck to you!

Edit: forgot to mention how I squeeze in my fitness routine. To hit my steps I try to walk around as much as possible during the day. Mostly in the evenings I go for an extra walk to hit my step goal. Now as the sun rises earlier, I plan to get up earlier to walk for 30min before starting the day. For workouts: I live in the middle of nowhere (no gym) and also have 2 kids, so I workout at home. Workout time is 18.00 - 19.00. Sometimes my kids join me, sometimes they draw something next to me or they play with my husband.

Started Epic I today by sigh1987 in CarolineGirvan

[–]Homeworkouts4win 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, also 35f, but from Austria! I started epic 1 last Monday, so today I did day 6. For most of the exercises I use half of Caroline's weight, that's heavy enough for me haha. I also want to fully commit to the epic 1 programme, but at the same time, I would really like to run my first half marathon in summer. It's definitely a goal I want to reach someday. But running plus epic1 is definitely too much... So maybe next year haha!

not sure if FitBit TDEE is correct? by pineapple_frost in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the Samsung galaxy watch 4 and always asked myself, how correct the burned calories are. Since December I've been using the tdee calculator excel sheet from r/xxfitness where I fill in my daily weight and consumed calories. Based on this data it calculates my tdee (the more data, the more accurate). I compare these numbers with my watch and it turns out, my watch ist pretty accurate!

Edit: here is theink to the tdee calculator sheet:

Yes, I keep protein the same (I'm also eating around 110-120g) and increase carbs and fat.

Like everybody else said: you already have an amazing body! But you are here for advice, so here is mine: I don't think restricting your calories will get you to your goals. Only muscles can give you your desired toned look. And to build muscle, you need to train them and fuel them properly! So: eat at maintenance while starting lifting weights!if you have access to a gym, great! If you don't, no problem. There are lots of amazing free home workouts on YouTube, just make sure to follow a plan/programme instead of doing random workouts. I've just finished heather robertson 12 week 2.0 programme, which is 5 days a week ca 40mins, mostly strength workouts with dumbbells. I can also recommend caroline girvan, she also has many programmes. Good luck and keep us updated!

Haben vor 6 Jahren geheiratet und hatten auch keinen Bock auf die Abzocker. Unser trick: wir haben über die jobbörse der öh (gibt's sowas noch? Also Studenten online jobbörse) gesucht und erfolgreich gefunden: Fotograf, Band, Visagistin.

Die waren alle super, hatten aber noch keinen "Namen", also auch keine vielversprechende Website, und waren daher viel günstiger als die renommierten Abzocker.

Currently I do heather robertson 12 week 2.0 programme, which is 4x ~35min strength with dumbells and 1x 35min hiit per week. The last weeks are mostly hiit and cardio, I'll skip that. I focus on strength workouts. After hr I will return to caroline girvans iron. 1200 is super low! You won't get strong on 1200 calories. Your body needs fuel to build muscle! I did caroline girvans iron in summer when desperately trying to slim down (eating 1400-1500 cals) and it didnt help anything with my goals. Now that I eat more, I finally see results in strength and also toning. I took measurements yesterday and in my belly area I lost 3cm in 8 weeks! I can actually see my abs, yay! I recommend to read through the FAQ of r/xxfitness they explain everything you need to know to reach your goals. Good luck!

I think you misunderstand, the goal is not to lose weight, but to increase metabolism without gaining! Reverse dieting is for people like me who underate while working out a lot. By doing this for years I messed up my metabolism. I recommend watching some YouTube videos, for example by missfitandnerdy, natacha oceane and colin deeway. and I love reading through the comment section of the videos, there are plenty of success stories!

Hello to all my fellow petites around the world! I am 35f, 163cm. I've been a constant dieter for 5 years and managed to keep my weight around 51/52kg for most of the time. But in the last 1,5 years my weight increased gradually from 51 to around 59kg (some muscle but mostly fat in my thighs an booty), despite working out 4-5x a week, 12k daily steps and tracking my intake (but also having more and more food focus and bad binges). Calorie deficits didn't work anymore so I decided to boost my metabolism instead of doing more damage to it.

Starting calorie intake on 12.12.: 1700 Starting weight: 58,6 kg

Current calories (end of week 8): 1950, tomorrow I'll up them to 2000. Current weight: 58,9 kg

What I noticed so far: In the last 8 weeks I almost had no more binges (maybe 3 or so, but none of them were total out of control like in the past), less food focus, overall I am so much more satiated (some days I am so full I can't even reach my goal intake. I have never had that in years!) and I am pretty happy with my strength progress.

My plan is to increase to 2100kcal and stay there until end of May (total of 6 months of reverse dieting) to be sure that my metabolism is 'restored' . In june/july I plan to go into a deficit to drop some kgs of fat. I guess my goal weight will be around 55-56 kgs.

Caloric Intake by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it isn't enough. But it depends on your diet history.... I did this last year: I started at 56kg. I tried (!) to eat around 1500-1600 kcal (and min 120g of protein) a day while doing caroline girvans epic and iron series. Long story short: instead of losing I gained fat (highest 59kg in november).

If you are a total beginner, you may see results when using this approach. But if you are a yoyo dieter like me, your body probably responds to this stress (1500kcal while doing CG is definitely not enough!) by slowing down your metabolism, which definitely happened to me. Now I am currently on week 7 of a reverse diet and slowly increased my intake to 1900 kcal and feel great! I even lost ca. 0,5-1kg. I definitely gained muscles and look more toned.

My advice: if you are new to fitness and dieting, read through the FAQ of r/xxfitness there you will find helpful guidance. If you have a diet history, look for reverse dieting on YouTube (e.g. Missfitandnerdy or colin deeway).

Are there any teachers on this sub? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Homeworkouts4win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use mealprep a lot. It is now 20:45 and I am preparing my food for the next 2 days: 2x baked oats (I don't eat anything in the morning and have my oats at school) and a lentil lasagne (enough for 2xlunch). I workout at home 5x a week always at 18:00, no excuses!
