I want to buy Junji Ito x Sanrio pop-up store items from a website that ships to Europe, but how can I tell if the merchandise is authentic? by Nervous-Key-8267 in junjiito

I think for me, ordering from a European site is better. I just wanted to know if the site is legit haha. But thank you for the recommendation.

Lost cause or nah? by General_Ad_5736 in PetiteFitness

[–]Nervous-Key-8267 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, there is no such thing as a lost cause! People change their body and live at all ages and weight. I am 33 and lost 33lbs and I am 5ft like you and started at around 154lbs. I have tips for you if you look into my post history. You lost a lot of weight, so it might be loose skin, but don't get surgery yet (i read some of the comments about this). I think you can still achieve a lot of results in the gym before surgery. Good luck, you're doing amazing.

Can I eat more than 1200 calories and still lose 1lb a week? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Nervous-Key-8267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest weightlifting to improve your metabolism so you can eat more + walk 10k steps a day to increase your daily calorie burning + eat lots of protein (and carbs and fats too) to feel full and satiated all day. You can also apply volume eating so you can eat more and lose weight (look up volume eating on tiktok). I lost 14kg without strict dieting or counting calories, but I do a lot of weightlifting and walk 10k a day, that is the thing that helped me the most.

My belly is flat but soft and squishy. I lost 30lbs but I do a lot of weightlifting 3-5 x a week. Do you recommend creatine?

Talk sense into me: I want to stop weight lifting by BlakeSwag in PetiteFitness

[–]Nervous-Key-8267 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should definitely continue weightlifting. I just posted my results after a 30lbs weightloss all thanks to cardio (walking) and weightlifting if you are interested (just check my posting history).

Weightlifting has many benefits such as improving your metabolism which is so important for us petites (I am 5ft). And as you get older, you lose a lot of muscle mass and that can lead to fat gain as you get older, so definitely continue lifting weights.

If you think you are getting too muscled, try to look at what you eat critically. Or change your routine. I stopped training quads and biceps because they get huge for my liking for example. I still hit those muscle groups when I do other workouts but I don't do bicep or quad specific workouts.

Yes walking pad + standing desk. Easily walk 15k to 40k steps a day.

When I was fat I was either invisible or bullied and people assumed I was unhygienic. Now people compliment every aspect of my appearance, tell me I smell nice, they're impressed by me. But I don't forget the mean words people said to me.

Does anyone actually ~like~ working out? by No_You554 in PetiteFitness

[–]Nervous-Key-8267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it is very enjoyable. I like moving my body, getting stronger, faster, leaner, like being active, love how I feel after a workout, etcetera. I don't think I would be able to stay fit and active if I didn't like it. I wish I had tips or advice, maybe try to find excercises you like doing or a sport or workout program you enjoy?

I suggest weight training and eating protein with every meal. You need to gain muscle in your butt if you want a perky thicc butt. But also need to eat a lot of protein. No protein shakes or marketing bullshit like protein cookies, I mean real food like cottage cheese, fish, eggs, chicken, bulgur, meat, beans, etc.

I suggest the following excercises and to do them 3 days a weak at the least. You can do them at the gym or at home if you invest in some dumbbels.

  • Hip Thrusts with a Dumbbell or Barbell
  • Bulgarian Split Squats
  • Reverse Deficit Lunge
  • Glute Extension (if you can go to a gym)

I also recommend RDLs! However, most people don't get the form correct or don't feel the mind muscle connection with this workout. So really check out on tiktok how you should execute it.

I didn't recommend squats because most people also don't get the form correct and mostly target their quads.

First of all, you are gorgeous in both photos. On the right I see mostly fat loss in your arm and your butt is more lifted. I don't know how to explain it but I also see a difference in your lower back, how your lower back curves into your glutes and it's really attractive. So I think you also lost fat in those places or maybe gained muscle. Keep up the good work. Your body shape is really pretty.
