I am shocked…
Hello! So I started working out April 2023. I am 25 years old, female. I weighed 176ish lbs on the left and 173lbs on the right, not much of a difference in the scale. The picture on the left is from March 2024. The picture on the right is from a few days ago (October 2024). Therefore, it’s been 7 months in between these pictures. I do remember not feeling satisfied with my stomach but I thought I was leaner bc I had been hitting the gym for almost a year at that point. Maybe I was bulking!? I do remember chugging tons of protein powder with oatmeal lol. I am just shocked because I didn’t expect such a huge difference in my size and waist!!! If I didn’t have these pictures I honestly would have not been feeling the progress. I thought I had plateaued!!
I go 3x-4x to the gym on a weekly basis. I do 2x upper body days, 1 hamstring/quads day, and 1 glutes day. I always walk for at least 20-30 minutes after lifting, even on days off. I recently stopped using protein powder and I think that’s what helped me look slimmer too. I’ve been focusing more on eating Whole Foods, doing low intensity cardio and drinking water and creatine. I am shook yall. Shook.
I was quite confused too! The scale has barely changed 😂 I’ve been stuck in the 170s for forever. But I guess it’s okay. And thank you very much!🙏🙏
Yup I’m gonna keep doing the same thing tbh. Yes, do whatever works for you, keep grinding!! Don’t stop 💪🏼💪🏼
Oh I am over the moon 🌙 ecstatic. I’m just very surprised and can’t believe the scale barely moved lol. Can’t wait to have a smaller waist!
Thank you very much!🙏 I’ll keep grinding 💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you. I’m still processing this! I’m so happy 🥹
You got this girly, just keep going and make sure to take pics!! 💪🏼💪🏼
Honestly me too😫 that fat was stubborn goddamn
Sweat, tears and metal music 🎶 thank you!!🙏
Body recomp takes ages but it def does work!! Thank uu 🙏
Haha I’ll take that as a compliment! If you want a body part to look good you have to murder that muscle group, am I right?😂 and thanks I most def do. Glute days are bad far the most draining but it has to be done. Upper body days are my fav. Thank u
Ive been doing that for like a month or so now because an entire leg day for quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves was just draining me!😅🤣 I was not loving it . But now that split is working out well for me!
Yeah surprisingly I’m still 170ish pounds!! I hope it keeps burning lol 😂 I’ll keep hitting the gym and thank you!!
Awe thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!🙏 yup, I don’t like the idea of having to log in my foods and weighting it.
Right!? Idk how I’m still 170 pounds lol!? Maybe it’s the height and obviously the muscle. Yeah I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. I was scrolling through my pictures from a few months ago and wanted to compare for fun but my jaw literally dropped. I just don’t know why it took so long to lose fat in that spot🥲 and thank you very much 😊
Definitely!! It’s just cool to see the fat melt, especially from my stomach. So, other muscle groups absorb it then right?
In actuality, when someone takes creatine they only retain like 3-5 lbs of water weight

I know!? Like the fat just melted off yet I weigh the same. I guess it’s body recomp, slow progress but worth it. And thank you, looking forward to that as well!! 🙏
