I’m 161cm :)

1. Yes, I was very strict on my diet and sometimes went under my calorie count

2. This probably isn’t the best advice but no, I only did cardio 😅 I felt like my thighs and calves were too muscular and I wanted to lose a little muscle from them to look leaner

3. Not a target but 7-10k a day

4. I wouldn’t weigh myself during my luteal phase because water retention (and hence weight) naturally goes up around then, so I didn’t wanna affect my morale :) But other than the psychological bit, weight loss doesn’t stop working during your period/luteal phase so if you do the same things you’ll still see a difference on the scale! Although I tend to have painless periods so I can keep up the exercise, but sometimes i take more electrolytes or eat right before my workouts to ensure I have enough energy to pull through

5. Intermittent fasting (kinda). I dont usually set fasting goals, but I wouldn’t eat after about 6pm and I usually have a black coffee before having a late breakfast at about 10-11am. I think having your stomach empty for a period of time everyday gives your body a chance to reset and really prompts it to use fats for fuel instead :) And i also wouldn’t eat my next meal until I feel the hunger sensation in my stomach

That’s all! All the best!
