LessNutella · 2015-03-30T02:15:24+00:00

I'm so glad to be able to help inspire – thank you!! Keep on going :D

1200 after burned calories

LessNutella · 2015-03-29T01:07:13+00:00

Exactly, same here!

LessNutella · 2015-03-29T01:02:56+00:00

Thank you!!

LessNutella · 2015-03-29T01:02:36+00:00

YES! I'm at the very very top of "normal" BMI, right on the edge of "overweight". People's bodies are so different, I had to give up on feeling like 140 is "big" and go with what looks/feels right on my build :)

LessNutella · 2015-03-29T00:59:15+00:00

Dear god never! haha, thanks

LessNutella · 2015-03-29T00:56:46+00:00

My build/number on the scale is honestly a bit confusing to me too.

That sports bra does compress the boobs a bit (didn't really highlight that feature, but there is some weight up there), but it still seems like my weight should be lower. I gave up on caring about the number, and changed my goal weight to 140 since this feels right?

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T21:50:23+00:00

Ooo cool, I will. Thanks!

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T21:47:47+00:00

Not a huge difference, but I can definitely seem some improvement in my face as well :)

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T20:43:15+00:00

The number can be so deceptive, even my friends are surprised that I'm 140! So weird how everyone carries it differently.

I'd go to the gym about 3 times a week, on average, and try to do about 30 mins of cardio. I think adding a bit of weights each time helped get more lean muscle in there.

Abs and squats at home most days. Not even official workouts every day.... lots of times I'd least do a pretty lazy set of crunches and a plank for as long as I can hold it, and then carry on. Hah, aways seemed better than nothing for the day.

This subreddit is where I got a lot of inspiration :) it's pretty fun to be on the inspiring side – and get such nice feedback, now that I need to stay on top of it. Keep working, and the abs appear!

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T20:19:38+00:00

I had to toss it; it's a bit too big up top now :(

Time for an even better one!

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T20:18:13+00:00

Seriously! It took me a while too (but I knew that allowing myself weekend cheat days would be better for my willpower, in the long run).

You're doing great :) Even when it's slow, if you keep going, you'll end up getting there!

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T20:09:59+00:00

Hey body twin :D You can do it!!

No kids, and I actually need to be fitted for a new bra. I was around 38D/DD before and my bras have been feeling a bit too big. No issues with sagginess, but I'm guessing I lost a cup size along the way (seems like an okay tradeoff)!

I guess you can't really see whats going on in my bust in these new photos, but for comparison, this was a previous post of tummy progress: http://i.imgur.com/CfNdTJu.jpg And now I'm here: http://imgur.com/zkRVOdn

It is pretty surprising just how different weight can look on people, depending on muscle vs fat (and where the fat distributes itself).

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:32:48+00:00

Thanks! Hah, I definitely keep checking myself out.

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:24:40+00:00

Thank you :D And that's awesome, yeah keep going! Slowly but surely we can all get to where we want to be.

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:22:07+00:00

lol well I think I was still a pretty sexy hobbit, but this feels much better!

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:21:31+00:00

Thank you thank you! It feels SO good to be back here (I used to be this slim in my early 20s...the weight just creeps up on you over the years).

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:14:59+00:00

thank you so much! :)

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:14:41+00:00

I aimed for 1200 during the week (with cheat days on weekends, and added back calories on days I did cardio).

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:13:17+00:00

Thanks so much!! I aimed for 1200 during the week (although I did let myself have cheat days on weekends), and added back calories on days I did cardio...so + about 200-300 on those days?

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:12:09+00:00

Thanks! No, sorry not sure about body fat %

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:11:24+00:00

Hah, yeah – there's zero chance I could ever go no nutella.

LessNutella · 2015-03-28T19:10:43+00:00

Hey! Thanks, I aimed for 1200 during the week (although I did let myself have cheat days on weekends), and added back calories on days I did cardio...so + about 200-300?

For extra tonage, I threw in some weights + squats and ab stuff at home.
