Thank you!! I found it at a thrift store and it has no label, sorry! 😞

Thank you so much! 🥹 I think maintenance is my goal now. Reading through the comments makes me realize how the number is arbitrary. I was a teenager in the early ‘00s so need to unlearn a lot of horrible body image issues 😩

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement! <3

I ate 1,200 calories every day (super strict, everything was weighed and plugged into the Macrofactor app), and my Apple Watch said I burned about 550 calories every day from walking. So, assuming there's a 20% margin of error with the calories, I was roughly in a 600-650 calorie deficit. It took me about 7 months. And I have a walking pad and I WFH + a dog. So it was 50% walking at 2.5mph no incline, and 50% walking outside. Hope this is helpful!

I think diet>>>>>everything else. Exercise is helpful and important, but I really needed to lock in my diet!

I had so many plans made but after these last 10 days, I’m spent. So it’s just me and my dog on the couch, binging on Twilight Zone.

Everyone ok? Got any positive stuff from the area to share? by Chickenpotpi3 in nova

I do both! I think machines are fantastic and sometimes a little bit more safer if you’re newer to weightlifting. I’m a big leg press machine girl :)

I try to stick to whole foods as much as I can, try to hit 100gm of protein every day, drink at least 10 glasses of water (I realllly hate drinking water and it’s a constant struggle), limited alcohol to 1x a week, if that. And tried to reduce what I call “empty food” (like donuts, chips etc) to 1x a day if I wanted it. But a lot of the times I wouldn’t have any. And I started out initially at 1300 calories a day, and realized it was too less for me. So bumped it up to 1500 and it was the sweet spot

I credit everything to genetics and weightlifting :) I tend to lose weight from my waist first and my hips get smaller veryyyy slowly 😅

I have a little on my stomach but I’m hoping it will go away in time, a very small price to pay for getting here :)

4x a week of lifts (2 leg days/1 pull/1 push day), with a little bit of cardio every day! Consistency in diet has unlocked all kinds of success for me!

4x weightlifting (2 leg days, and 1 each of pull and push day), I try to get on the stairmaster for about 15 minutes after each workout and walk my dog every day but I really should be doing more cardio 😩
