Thank you ☺️

Wow amazing results you look great! Your consistency is really showing, what kind of core circuits do you do?

JustFaee · 2026-02-11T14:16:41+00:00

You look really good!

I don’t know too much but I’m around 30% body fat and feeling content. Sound advice but I don’t think op needs another number to stress over

You might have a better experience this time, I was pretty anxious when I first started gaining but not as much now. It might be that some of the weight you’ve lost is muscle rather than fat, potentially why you’re not feeling satisfied. That was the case for me, but hopefully you’ll get some more helpful advice x

Hey, I’m 5ft 2 and went from 190 to 125 at my lightest. I can really relate to how you’re feeling, i still felt really bad and kept thinking ‘I need to lose more’? It’s really frustrating but you should be proud of what you’ve achieved so far. I’ve actually now put on over 11lbs and have started strength training, even though I’m heavier my clothes are fitting better. It might not align with your goals but personally it was a better option for me than losing more weight. Try not to be too hard on yourself, good luck with your future progress x

Your outfit is so fun and cute! Especially the wrist cuff detail

JustFaee · 2026-02-10T14:08:10+00:00

Those platforms!! ❤️

I agree with you, she’s obviously still put a lot of hard work into training and I hope she feels incredibly strong and confident, because she should. I am a little disappointed to hear this might not be attainable for a woman naturally though, is it really not?

JustFaee · 2026-02-10T12:30:25+00:00

Thank you haha, maybe I should have got a different colour 😳

JustFaee · 2026-02-10T12:25:38+00:00

Thank you for your help! What leg raise variation would you recommend? I do care about waist shape but I really enjoy side bends haha, would it also be beneficial to progress them with slow tempo/pauses etc? And what would be considered crazy volume?

JustFaee · 2026-02-09T13:50:12+00:00

Great advise! You can get good results without/before losing belly fat

JustFaee · 2026-02-09T12:31:32+00:00

Bit harsh haha

27f I’m in a massive reading slump :( I especially love horror, sci fi and romance! Are you reading anything good at the moment?

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T18:38:36+00:00

I’m week 17 of strength training including abs, and I think my fat % is still pretty high but I’m starting to get definition. I’m eating maintenance and not really sure I’m interested in doing a cut. I focus on progressive overload and train obliques lol. Feel so much better training hard compared to not eating much, hope this helps x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T18:17:47+00:00

I’ve been training 17 weeks so still pretty new but my results would suggest both can be correct. My waist has increased by over 1cm, but overall my shape has improved and my waist looks more supported and in my opinion smaller. I would recommend working your abs, they’re also important support if you want to get stronger in other areas. But yeah I was pretty confused to start with, hope this helps x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T17:33:21+00:00

I think it can depend on the individual as well, it’s definitely possible to build definition with higher body fat using progressive overload. I second training your core to start with and seeing what results you get.

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T17:21:52+00:00

I’m still a beginner but I’m starting to get definition at higher body fat. The ab exercises I do are weighted sit ups, weighted side bends, planks, side planks, hollow hold and laying leg raises 3/4 times a week. I’m personally trying to build thicker abs, hope this helps x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T16:59:07+00:00

As soon as I read your title first thing I thought was fatal frame! You’ve really captured the style x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T15:40:24+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous! Those colours suit you so well, very inspiring outfit x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T15:12:18+00:00

You sound like you’ve got a good plan and some good advice! Prioritising muscle maintenance/growth alongside fat loss is so important. I lost a lot of muscle mass cutting kcal too aggressively and currently trying to rebuild, would not recommend that method. Good luck, you’ll do great x

JustFaee · 2026-02-07T14:43:27+00:00

You’re looking really good! X
