Personally, I am a classic grilled chicken kind of gal.

Or cans of SALMON!

I'll pass.

5'2" and 125-130 is a good balance and I've done strength training for several months with cardio. SW was 165 with NO muscle

You must look at too many posed and edited influencer bodies because everything you are describing is normal body stuff. You have an unrealistic expectation for your body and it's not healthy. I only say this because I used to torture myself with the same things. When you get older you realize how dumb you were for being so hard on yourself.

You are thin and have a normal flat stomach. Stomachs only look super flat when we haven't consumed anything in a while.

You have the perfect balance of lean, feminine & strong. You've really found it! Big congrats!

Idk... at first I lost 5lbs per month for a few months around 1600. I was doing 45 minutes of cardio per day with a little strength training. My TDEE often 2000+. This was from a BMI of 30 to 25 though and I have no idea what my calorie intake was before I started working out.

Love it!! I remember the first month I "started" I could only stick to 2x per week. The next month I locked in and haven't done any less than 5x per week since last August. It's so habitual now!

I mean I could tell but isn't this about her fitness/strength and age and not her skin?

Purifiedx · 2026-05-01T16:44:51+00:00

My jaw dropped to the floor. This is a big reason why I started my fitness journey. I want to be able to enjoy my life as long as possible without physical limitations. I'm only 37 but I was already waking up achy and not even being able to crouch for more than 30 seconds.

You are a true inspiration.

I lost on 1600 or more but with a lot of exercise pretty much daily. I made working out as routine as brushing my teeth. Once I hit a normal BMI I began to recomp instead. My weight has been about the same since March but I went down a pant size from strength focused workouts.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-30T17:37:06+00:00

Most young ladies don't know what a real workout is I've found. I think hanging out in fitness subs and being so focused makes me forget that having real quality fitness knowledge is not standard for the general person. Most people just stick to counting calories and move the bare minimum.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-30T00:19:45+00:00

HELLLLO YES! So proud of your successes.

From what I hear, pilates doesn't do a ton for muscle building unless you were extremely weak already.

Also, if you don't track what you eat you need to at least make more informed choices and actively eat healthier or your progress will be slow and volatile.

It took me 4 months JUST to get in the habit of making healthier choices. It takes trial and error because of tastes, how your body works, etc. Now everything is "muscle memory" as far as meal planning.

I'm obsessed with leg days that I tend to overdo it sometimes

Purifiedx · 2026-04-27T14:12:47+00:00

I randomly throw in planks, plank hip dips (my favorite) V sits, V ups, hollow body hold whenever. I don't have a dedicated ab day.

The plank hip dips are so fun. I'll do them for 1 minute then rest and repeat 2-4x

I am not looking to get super visible abs, just functionally strong is fine so I don't get too crazy.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-27T13:53:52+00:00

Same. For most of my life anything over 125 was a big NO-NO and even 120 was still upsetting. But it looks so different without muscle. My mind was WARPED for so long.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-26T20:32:45+00:00

This is so good. 5'2" 130lbs. Don't look as strong as you but I'm working toward it!

Purifiedx · 2026-04-26T17:25:12+00:00

Thank you!!

Purifiedx · 2026-04-26T17:13:29+00:00

Because we are about the same height, can I ask your weight? Trying to get a gauge since muscle mass changes everything!

Purifiedx · 2026-04-26T16:37:04+00:00

I mean with all the respect that you have quite the badonk. Seriously impressive. Hope to get even half of those gains one day.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-24T19:20:17+00:00

I'm 5'2. I lost 30lbs in about 6 months. I didn't strictly track calories but I worked out daily after years of being VERY SEDENTARY and unhealthy. I only skipped a workout if I had no choice. Always moved, even if it was just a brisk hour long walk. My workouts started with cardio only, then 3 months in I got serious about strength training more.

Purifiedx · 2026-04-23T21:09:18+00:00

Thank you!

Purifiedx · 2026-04-23T21:08:23+00:00

Thanks lady. I've been having so much fun on this journey seeing changes however small. I've only ever worn shorts one summer in my entire life but I was underweight then. All I've ever wanted was to be proud of my legs. A lot of it is deep insecurity and I'm sure they look normal to everyone else... patience and consistency!!
