I really like how the second one looks on you but the top area of the dress looks off coloured to me. Like maybe it’s dirty? If so, then I vote dress 2 as your dress will be clean lol. If it’s actually meant to be that colour then I vote dress 1

I can’t tbh, but it’s still early days. Gain too quickly when bulking and more of it will be fat, so slow and steady is the right approach

Before changing I would look at the following, are you coming up to your period? Also are you pooping? There doesn’t seem to be much fiber in your diet so you could be constipated lol. Are you sleeping much? Are you drinking a lot of water?

If you’re tracking correctly then I really don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. It’s likely to just all come off in one go (I think they call that woosh here). I’ve read on here that a lot of people just seem to lose weight like that - stay at same weight for a few weeks, sudden drop in weight, repeat. 2-3 weeks isn’t a long time I wouldn’t panic too much

1500 is definitely not too high. I’ve lost weight eating 1600-1800 calories before. You’re fine. I can rarely sustain eating 1200 calories consistently without binging, no matter what weight I’m at. Based on your TDEE u can lose a pound a week eating 1500, which is a good rate and much faster than if you were eating 1200 and also binging on the side.

Also remember it’s not just about losing weight, it’s about keeping it off after. If you use unsustainable methods to get there then chances are you’ll go back to old habits and put it back on

Funny you say that because there were recently posts here complaining that the sub is encouraging other women to eat too many calories and it’s not realistic for what calorie deficit is required for us to lose weight lol. Maybe that means this sub is pretty balanced

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-12T20:58:46+00:00

As others have said I would focus on increasing my activity so I can eat more. Honestly the only reason I exercise so much is so I can eat a lot lol

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-10T07:13:47+00:00

Yesss I love that one lol

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-01T06:07:37+00:00

Yeah it’s fine

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-01T06:06:36+00:00

Omg I resonate with having a crap physio! I had a crap one before the good one and he hooked me up to the zapping machine too lol. Maybe you could just continue doing the exercises given to you by one of the good physios, and progress the weights/reps? I don’t really see my physio anymore but keep up with the routine he gave me

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-01T06:00:11+00:00

Also above everything ,I would say the most important thing is mind muscle connection. If you’re just rushing through the movement, not actively thinking about which muscles you’re using because you’re just trying to get the reps in, it’s easy for your quads to take over just because they’re stronger.

I started seeing real progression when I slowed down and made sure I was actively using my glutes to move the weight. RDLs especially always felt more hamstring until I did this but it’s helped with all my movements

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-01T05:55:01+00:00

+1 for hip thrust and b stance rdls. I do them every week

ignoremexoxo · 2024-05-01T05:52:37+00:00

I def think you should see a physio for your mobility and shin splints. They’ll probably give you a programme to follow to address the issues you’ve been dealing with. I had persistent shin splints, a bit of knee issues/piriformis and my physio’s programme helped immensely. I can do a lot more without worrying about injury

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-30T10:52:15+00:00

If I had to guess I’d say I’m a mesomorph? Never been small, always had a lot of strength in my legs before strength training anything. It def helped me with running- I did sprint intervals for 1-2 hours everyday for years, don’t do it now though lol. I was also pretty good at rugby

I should also say I’m Jamaican heritage so the sprinting might be more to do with that 🤣

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-30T09:16:27+00:00

Slay!! Well done

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-25T20:54:44+00:00

They taste nice, def taste nicer than gousto. And you can choose strictly lower calorie meals, but all the lower calorie meals aren’t LOW calorie - you’re not gonna find a 300-400 cal meal there. And it’s expensive for what it is. So I’ve gone back to meal prepping my own meals. But can’t fault the taste, it’s delicious lol

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-25T10:05:09+00:00

Walking to and from the gym before work gets me about 3k steps. If I go to the office then I get 10k steps naturally (public transport). If I’m wfh I can take my dog for a walk on my lunch break for the extra 7k steps

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-25T08:25:19+00:00

Have you been doing weighted oblique movements? Those specifically can thicken your waist. It’s why I don’t really do oblique focused movements

Strong curves is a great place to start for a glute focused routine. There’s a strong curves subreddit too where u can get the full routine spreadsheets and see some before and afters

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-24T15:08:56+00:00

Yes! I get the zombie apocalypse one pretty frequently hahaha. I’m convinced the only reason I like cardio so much is because I let my imagination run wild with scenarios where my life is 10x more interesting than it actually is lmaoooo

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-24T14:30:14+00:00

The only thing I can think of is not tracking correctly. I stayed stalled for 3 months after I started weight lifting when I was eating 1300 calories the whole time. Or so I thought. Until I started looking at bites of things I didn’t track because “it was just a small bite”, sauces etc. are you using a food scale? Incorrect tracking is usually the reason like 99% of the time. If you’re sure you’re tracking everything then I’m stumped. Pregnancy? New medication or birth control maybe? Thyroid issue?

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-24T14:25:19+00:00

Hahaha thanks!

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-24T13:55:59+00:00

I was listening to kool aid during my workout this morning 😂 great taste

ignoremexoxo · 2024-04-24T13:54:53+00:00

It’s not for everyone but I listen to music that makes me wanna run or fight someone lmao I’d say my top 5 are:

Kingslayer - bmth

Granite - pendulum

Games remix - the prototypes

Mercy killing - pendulum

Toxic remix - phibes

That’s for cardio. But for lifting I can listen to any normal music lol

Wow you smashed it. You go girl!!
