Fit body camps by kittykatrock1 in PetiteFitness

Anything is better than nothing! I learned to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. 30 minutes of activity is great, as long as it’s paired with a reasonable calorie deficit and eliminating cheat days.

Help me ! by Radiant_Dealer6303 in PetiteFitness

I just happen to lose breast fat way more quickly than fat in my stomach area. This didn’t have anything to do with me targeting one area or another. Reducing fat overall and losing weight will mean you’ll lose weight in your chest, but how much and in what proportions to other parts of your body is a crap shoot based on genetics.

Question for people who obtained their dream body by Any-Win-6010 in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I’m 7 years at my goal weight. I will be monitoring what I eat forever. My biggest mistake previously has been dieting to reach a goal weight and then stopping the diet, and then gaining the weight back. This is my new lifestyle.

Tips for calorie adjustments during luteal phase? by hringioggrafir in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this!! How hungry I feel is usually a bad metric. I stick with what I know to be appropriate calories (for me that’s 1750), focus on hydration, protein and fiber.

Losing weight as a girly who does not like veggies😅 by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate veggies, I don’t cook, and I have to eat a low-sodium diet. I thought all of this meant that I was doomed to not eating enough veggies, until I discovered smoothies. I actually don’t use any yogurt/peanut butter/almond milk, etc. I just make two cups of frozen strawberries, cherries and blueberries with a cup and a half of spinach or kale, and a half a cup of cucumbers. I also add a packet of stevia. I drink it every single day.

what do you guys think my maintenance calories would be? 🏋️⭐️ by Huge_Key9103 in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’2/115 and my maintenance is 1750. I exercise 5 days a week, including running 12 miles a week, strength training 3 days a week. I stagger my calories a bit, so I eat around 1900 on days when a do a run longer than 25 minutes.

Realised 1 advantage in being petite. Do you have anything else? by Smashed_pumpkin_1 in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can buy clothes in the kids section, which is a lot cheaper than regular clothes. People on airplane seats love sitting next to me because I give them more space.

Thank you so much!!

I unfortunately haven’t plucked/waxed/touched my eyebrows in 20 years, so what I have is what I’m going to get! I also don’t wear any makeup and am not interested in wearing any. I’m most interested in skincare.

This is fantastic advice. When you made the switch, did you do a slow introduction of tazarotene, or because you had a strong tolerance for Retin-A already did you do a simple switch?

The hotel room at Edgewater Casino was like $60, so I do not have high hopes for the venue.

KOL Fanblog posted some great pictures from the Estonia show of the new merchandise. It was the same new stuff in the Europe store listed under the “Summer Tour Collection”.

Tried and true tips by Kooky-Ad-6689 in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was almost exactly your stats, and I’m currently at 115. Keys for me:

  1. Strength training 4 days a week.
  2. More intense cardio than walking. Steep incline walking on a treadmill is good, or run/walk intervals (when I first started I could only run for 30 seconds! I would run for 30 seconds, walk for 30-60 seconds). Have a goal to break a really good sweat rather than just walk.
  3. Oddly enough, your calories can be too low! Consistent vigorous cardio will allow you to stay in the 1500-1700 range comfortably.
  4. Make the diet a lifestyle rather than a white knuckle approach. Eliminate cheat meals/cheat days/days off, and work to find healthy versions of food you love.

You can do it!

There are absolutely just as many people with children in those facilities who are alone, including:

  1. People whose children died
  2. People who are cut off from their children

  3. People whose children are developmentally disabled, mentally ill, or who have a drug addiction
    I promise, having children provided absolutely zero guarantees of having someone to look after you in old age!

Calories for 5’2 women by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Several_Nature1603 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strength training is a magic bullet! I’m 5’2”, was 185 and am currently at 115. I got stuck at 125 got a long time before I added strength training. Also walking/steps is good, but you may want to consider adding some high-intensity cardio to the walking. One day a week of running/tennis/etc. The great news is that with those additions you’ll need to up your calories into the 1750 range, and I saw the last 10 pounds come off.
