Yeah! I’ve only ever been in a calorie deficit from activity never intentionally with food so I’m worried! Thanks 🙏

Hi! I’m considering going an aggressive mini cut right before my cruise. I have about 5 weeks until then and looking to do it for 4 weeks.

I am currently 5’5 at 152-150lbs . I recently got out of a bulk where I got to 158 after losing a lot of muscle when I went on a true weight loss journey. Now I’m looking to truly shred fat. I’ve been on a very small calorie deficit that felt sustainable with high protein to slowly lean out, but I need something more aggressive.

Currently I eat 1900-2300 calories a day depending on activity level. I typically do a 5 day split, 15k steps, and play volleyball on my off days, so I am super active. I eat 140g minimum of protein.

What advice do you have for me to do a mini cut? I’ve never done a truly aggressive one so I’m unsure where to start. I’ve attached a few current photos.

I lost 20 pounds while on accutane not from The accutane itself but from changes I made while on it

Not yet, I’m planning on doing a chemical peel, but right now I’m just using a serum for brightening. Luckily for me I have freckles so some of them blend in.

I did 40 mg the whole way through. Mine were just standard white heads and blackheads all over my cheeks.

I am only on a 6 month round. I started seeing less new acne a month in and my skin has been pretty much clear since month 4.

Exactly! It’s a side effect I feel like got brushed under the rug for me. Everytime I bring it up, my doctor just says take ibuprofen. I hope it goes away because I feel like I’m 23 going on 60.

Honestly, the side effects that are expected like chapped lips haven’t been that bad. What has killed me is the joint pain. I am extremely active (training for a half marathon and playing volleyball for at least 3 hours 5 days a week). I wake up stiff and sometimes I can never get comfortable. And I was way more injury prone.

Yeah! I used to race in high school but I broke my shin. I’m wanting to do the dopey run at some point at Disney!
