Tell me about a time when you dieted as a petite and what that experience was like below!

It is I, petite girl. How did the algorithm find me?

I’m 5’1”. I lost 8lbs last month and I was eating 1700-1800 calories. I go to a weight loss clinic. They did a metabolic test on me and it said my caloric range should be 1200-1500 to lose weight and that my metabolism runs a little slow. When I go days eating that little I end up getting so hungry I grab something unhealthy and/or struggle to make good eating choices or eat more calories anyway. Lately I’ve been eating 2000 calories and exercising 3-4 times a week and I FEEL marvelous. I don’t know what the scale will say at the next weigh in in a few weeks, but I’m looking and feeling good. I’m sure I’ve lost some weight or at least fat. My energy is higher. I can tell my metabolism is revving up.

"I could do a 30min workout session and struggle to burn 200 calories, and thats me busting my butt" i have never felt so seen in all my life

7:55 1. Rather than eating less, eat better 12:30 2. Eat in a protein forward manner 13:00 3. Lift weights and be patient

a future tip.... the background music is too loud and makes it hard to concentrate on what your saying :)

Finally someone says what my doctors never understood! After lowering my calories to 1200, I couldn’t eat more than that after a while or else I would gain. My doctors always blamed me for lying or doing something wrong that I wasn’t telling them

Stuff like this is why we should stop saying things like "why aren't you losing weight? it's so easy all you have to do is eat less and exercise more. you must not be trying hard enough" because as much as I wish it was that simple, it's really not.

I’m 5’2”, I eat around 1200 calories a day and used to exercise everyday but it was doing anything for me and my bodyfat wasn’t reducing. So I decided to change things up where I don’t count my calories anymore and now I intuitively eat while intermittent fasting. I only exercise 3 to 4 times a week now (instead of everyday) and I see so much improvement in my body.

Oh my god I am only 5’1” AND I FEEL SO HEARD! My ex bf used to always tell me I had to eat less snacks to lose weight but I already felt like I didn’t eat that much! THANK-YOU FOR MAKING VIDEOS LIKE THIS

THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING!!! Honestly I started eat almost 2k calories and lost 3lbs in one week.. which makes sense because in college when I did cross country I was fit and I ate A LOT!! I’m 5 feet flat. And my biggest mistake was eating less food for months thinking I’ll lose weight 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ you live and learn.

Finally someone addresses what has caused me decades of agony and stress. My whole life I’ve felt chubby even tho I don’t eat THAT much. 😔 this is inspiring and motivating, uplifting. Thankful! 😍🙏🏼

Hi fellow petites ❤️ I used to do HIIT cardio as often as possible but after switching to weights and resistance bands, it honestly feels "easier". I can feel the burn in my muscles and 2-3 sessions a week is enough because it's so intense. I add some fun cardio for the ticker and to reduce stress but the weights really did wonders for my tiny temple - and my busy schedule 💪🏻😎

I am overweight petite and my fat are concentrated in my thighs and calves and belly and i am doing everything but nothing is working. But your video really motivates me.

I can spend all day fantasising about being a model-esque tall girl and everything would just distribute so well 😭 my boyfriend's sister is sooo tall and we weigh the same but look SO different. So unfair 🙈😭

Loved the example about your husband's calorie intake versus a petite womans'. Really explains why as a woman I feel we do so much to lose weight and it doesn't seem to "work" while theres always some man you know that got miraculous results just cutting out his daily soda or something!

Great video! I am petite, 5’1 (155cm) and i eat 1800-2400 kcal/ day. I workout almost every day and Walks alot. Eat around 100-130 g protein/day, and I can build muscles and lose fat at the same time.

How did the algorithm know I’m petite?! 🥺 Subscribed immediately!! Someone who finally understands 😭

4’ 11 here ☺️ the lowest i ever go in a calorie deficit is 1500 calories. any lower than that & my workouts suffer. 1500 cals per day x 6 days a week (one cheat day ~ 2,000 or so cals) x 8 weeks; then its bk to maintenance calories (1800-2,000 cals) for at least a month or longer depending what time of year it is. january-may i slim up & in the fall i tend to eat/bulk more. love ur vids btw! 💕

I literally cut my calories for two months and only managed to lose 5 pounds, and I’ve felt so weak. Explains so much, definitely going to be starting some resistance training and cutting back the cardio

I am so happy that I found you. I am five feet tall! At one time I weighed 150 pounds and it took me several years to drop the weight. Now if I do diet I just cut a few calories and lose about 1/4 to 1/2 pound for week. I never go below 1400 calories a day - any less is just needless suffering.

Honestly I was really put off “weight loss” and “exercise” during high school when I took my first steps to be better/healthier because my instructor basically told me to my face (in front of a class of girls who used to bully me in elementary school) that I needed to stop eating and start running to lose weight. Bottom line I felt horrible doing that so I did yoga for the rest of term and failed the class. Really nice to understand why it didn’t work and thank you I feel more motivated to start again (like five years later mind you)

Ahhhhh! I’m SO glad I found your channel!!!!! I’m 5’1” and have struggled on my fitness journey. I keep trimming down and then I plateau, then get frustrated and gain back. So annoying. Great tips! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is so hard to eat little calories. I am under five feet, and I have to eat like 1300 calories a day to be able to lose weight. Thus, I stay hungry and dizzy. I get stress and frustrated and ends up binge ending.

Calorie deficit and over doing cardio. I did cardio almost everyday bc i love it but kicks me into having HUGEEEEE hunger spikes which lead me into binge eating uncontrollable, it feels like my stomach is a bottomless pit.... lifting weights and walking have been key for me to keep hunger under control . thank you for touching on this!!

FINALLYYYYYYY!!! A group that understands the struggle.

5’2” and having difficulty losing weight. Eating 1,200-1,400 calories per day. Walk/jogging 4 miles, 3-4 times per week. I know I need to start strength training to build muscle. This is the only way to burn fat. I already eat a very clean, unprocessed diet.

Whyyyyyy is this the first time I’m hearing about what calorie deficits have done to my 5’2 self! It makes so much sense. Thank you 🙏🏼 subbed

I needed to see this. I’ve been cutting calories and could not feel any worse and have noticed that I tire easily. Thanks for the tips.

Listening to this gave me chills because this is ME! I’m 44 and I have more fat on me than I’ve ever had in my life & my muscles are smaller & less defined than they’ve ever been. This makes so much sense. Thank you.

WOW this was such a good video! I went through ALL of this, used to eat 1300 calories a day and could not lose weight (this was years ago). I just completed a reverse diet and now eat over 2400 calories a day with little to no weight gain and look ENTIRELY different to how I used to on 1300 cals, the power of recomp...I DID THAT

Oh man. If I had money every time someone brought up "it's all just a matter of calories in and calories out". How the muscles process carbs and rebuild is so, so much more sophisticated than that. Thanks for posting this. I'm 5'2", cut my weight from 126 to 114 by BUILDING MUSCLE with strength training and supplying muscle with protein and complex carbs for fuel. It is the ONLY method that has ever worked for me. I tried just cutting sugar, I tried keto, plant-based, all that ish. You have to actually know what your body is doing with everything. Definitely crave carbs so I only eat complex carbs and for every gram of carbs I eat I intake and equal amount of lean protein and try to keep my oils and fats as low as I can tolerate, which is probably 20-40g/day (still a lot), but my body composition is really changing, more muscle less fat, that's what it's all about. I eat as little sugar as I can, which is effectively about 20g/day, things like lactose/galactose from milk and natural fructose in fruits and veggies. Total intake per day is about 2k calories at age 33. This is the most I've eaten in a while and it's the best I've ever felt.

I know it has been a month since you posted this but I just want to say thank you. I am in tears right now. For a year, and even more, I broke down constantly. Almost every day. Spending countless time on KZfaq trying to find a solution. I was so so tired all the time and sad. I am 5’2 and I was eating at around 1,100 calories and so much cardio. My hair was falling,I was low in iron, binge eating, sleepless nights, feeling so little. so many problems. And of course worse of all, my anxiety was off the roof. While watching this I couldn’t hold back my tears because I found someone that cared about someone like me. That took the time from their day to help. I didn’t know where to turn any more. I am just so thankful. For what you do for people like us. Just thank you, may god bless you.

I'm short but wide, but this makes a looot of sense for me too! The energy and hunger swings were crazy through the month! Thank you!

I'm 4'10" and was running 8-20 miles a day and barely eating anything. I was so underweight and started gaining weight like crazy. So I stopped cardio all together and went "all in" or whatever they call it, gained 30 pounds and all the while doing just strength training for 3 months, now I'm dropping weight again but I only do cardio once a week at most. And it works, I eat 6 meals a day probably 2200-2500 calories total and I'm stronger than I've ever been before. I cut a tiny tiny bit of calories from my day, like 50 cals, and just incorporate tons of protein into my meals and I feel like this is totally sustainable. But it does take a lot to get here, and a lot of listening to my body, and not obsessing about it like i was before.

the algorithm also randomly found me, and I'm so grateful! I've been stuck for so many years 😫 I've been using noom and they have helped me learn awesome ways to not be hungry and not overeat! I struggle to hit the calorie budget they recommend but I am still losing weight which is amazing! Your video helped me connect the dots to understand how that's possible lol

Your channel is a blessing from the KZfaq gods for me haha I never really considered myself as "petite" bcos I though that it means skinny but recently found out it's more about your height. I am looking to be more tone and be healthier so it's such a blessing to learn all these health tips that are specifically for someone like me or else I would've wasted more time doing health stuff that won't even work for me. Thank you!!! Subscribed! 🥰✨

Omg a fitness channel for petite women this is amazing thank you 🙏

I suffered from severe anorexia at the age of 13, before I had properly hit puberty so I stunted my growth and am only 5'1 now. I know that's not the subject matter of the video but I think it is SO important to address this issue because pre teens are becoming afraid of their weight gain during puberty, and subsequently dieting

Hi! Oh my god, I’m petite and i tried intermittent fasting and it felt like hell! I did lose weight but i can no longer keep up with my workouts, instead of getting stronger i felt weak. Its been months of back and fort if i should continue the fast again and my body just said no. Just a month ago i gained weight again, that’s when i decided to abandon the deiting, eat regularly and exercise. Now feel great! I focus on gaining muscle instead of losing fat! This video helped a lot❤️

A 40% calorie deficit is crazy...no one who is trying to lose weight should be cutting out that many calories! 😬

I’m 5’2 and this video was so helpful. I went to a work out class over the weekend and the women were so strong and beautiful. I have been dieting for awhile to get rid of some stomach fat but it isn’t going anywhere. I need muscle. I want to be strong and healthy. Now I need to look up meal ideas that fit my schedule.

Hey! I'm 37 years old, 5'2", & was naturally thin before having kids. I was diagnosed with endometriosis & hit with a bout of depression (3 years) after my SIL passed away - I ended up gaining 50 lbs. When I began this weight loss journey, I started with eating a calorie deficit (1200 calorie limit per day). When I added weight training to that, I finally started losing the weight. I'm down to 125lbs from 155lbs, but it's been a looooonnnnggg journey.

I am so glad I found your channel! I'm 5'1" and I needed to hear all of this, I started my health journey again after having my son and it's been hard to see any changes in my body. Now I know why I haven't seen changes and it's because I haven't been prioritizing lifting weights. I'm so happy to know that I don't have to run and do cardio all of the time. Thank you!!!!

I’m 5’1.5” I lost 87 pounds. I’m 10 pounds from goal and have been maintaining but no new loss for about 5 months. I was in a significant calorie deficit for a year, and now I maintain at 1000 -1100. I can’t cut further. I’m researching what I can do to fix the mistakes I made doing my original weight loss. Glad to have found you because all I hear is cut cut cut. It will eventually work.

So happy to find my petite woman clan!!! It all makes sense now!

You deserve so many more followers; this was the most helpful thing I've watched in a long time. This makes so much sense as to why calorie deficits just feel like torture to me! Thank you so much!

Love your channel! I’m 5’4 I went from 137 down to 112! Totally chilled on the gym and focused on nutrition. Clean eating all the way! Proteins, carbs, healthy fats. So good!

So, my experience: I'm roughly 4'11"-5'. And about a month ago or so, I was 155lbs (largest I have ever been in my 28 years of life especially in 2016 I was 108 lbs from doing Beachbody's Insanity workouts). I ate terribly. I had french fries sometimes twice per day (but usually at least once), fried/fast food all the time plus snacks (popcorn and swiss rolls were my weakness). I also am a software engineer, so I sit in front of a computer all day at work to come home and watch Netflix at home. I honestly got tired of eating the same things (I am not a great cook so my cooking skills were limited), and got a near panic attack at the thought of how unhealthy I became when I've generally been around 105-115 lbs most of my teenage/adult life until I packed on all this weight. I decided to do Home Chef to help with the cooking. 2-3 weeks into Home Chef which gave me more meals with veggies and less fried foods or potatoes: I was down 4lbs. I was still eating snacks, and would still drink soft drinks (just not as many), eat what I wanted during date nights with my boyfriend, eat pasta, etc. I wasn't watching calorie intake at all, just ate generally better food for my meals Mon-Fri. it helped because the food was GOOD. I haven't not liked a meal since I've started, but I understand that it is kind of pricey. Plus, since it is just me, I order the two servings of each meal and eat one for dinner and one for lunch the next day. I will also add, I've never ate a ton anyways during meals according to boyfriend/his mother/my mother/etc. So, I won't binge eat when I eat my favorites. Just wanted to clarify because I have seen some that struggle with this. (Praying for those who struggle with this, and those who struggle with anything else!) After 2 weeks of Home Chef, I added working out around 30 min per day 5 days per week a mix of boxing cardio, hot cycling (HOTWORX), and a little bit of strength training using my own body weight or 8 lb medicine ball. 2.5 weeks after that I started working out I was down an additional 5lbs. So 9lbs lost in total in about a little over a month. I still haven't really been counting calories, just making a few healthier options throughout my week. I think doing it this way allows me to 1. still feel full, 2. not feel like I'm missing all my favorite foods, and 3. not starving myself to just gain it all back later just because I want pizza or fries once in a while. My goal is to get back down to around ~110, but still be able to eat. No one, including us that are on the shorter side, should have to starve themselves to be fit/get the body they want. I'm no professional, but so far this is working for me. Hope you guys are finding success in your weight loss journey/fitness journey!

This is literally what I needed , I’m in plateau and I can’t cut calories any more I’m eating 1000 calories a day which make me feel so hungry yet there’s no result I will start doing what you said Thank u ♥️

I'm 4'8 and my maintenance calories is 1,800. All the online calculators I tried to calculate my BMR and calorie deficit said I should eat around 1,200 calories a day. I tried to cut down to 1,500 and got so hungry I couldn't, so I had to go back up some. I'm so glad I came across this video.

I’m 5’2” as of January 2019 I was 170. Now I’m 130. It took about a year and a half at eating an average 1200-1230 calories a day. During that time I taught myself how to eat intuitively. Now I don’t have to track every single food item and still be around 130. All with no exercise. I had a slipped disc and could barely walk during 2019.

I'm little less than 4.7 I gain weight if I eat like average person. But I LOOOVE FOOD!!! I wanna eat different food, and good portion.. I did started to eat balanced food while quarantine for 2 weeks. I ate until I'm not hungry then stopped. I started strength training little bit, just good enough to feel it. Now I see lines on my abs and it's a big progress for me! so happy to share the struggle with people here!

I am 5’0” and this was great! I workout daily and I also have a super slow heart rate (40-50bpm on most days) and so even when I’m pushing myself in a workout, I burn basically nothing. It really sucks.

Thanks for share all the wisdom. Ive lost 2kg in the last 4 weeks since following your tips and tricks. I keep my cardio as for me it’s more of a stress release than anything but i have dedicated non cardio days to weight/resistance training. I feel stronger than i have ever felt and i am eating better and eating more than i have been. Protein proportions are now a focus and I really have been craving less sugar. I honestly wish i has studied nutrition rather than accounting in College. Thanks again April

This is a great channel! Tired of people judging me for not being able to eat as much as normal sized people! They look at me like I'm starving myself 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have definitely fallen into the mindset of burning off the calories consumed. I used to run cross country in high school, and I found that later in the season I was leaner even though I didn't make major changes in my diet. I actually lost 10lbs over the course of 6-7 months in preparing for the season, but then I'd gain it all back lol

I’m so glad i’m learning this stuff while I’m still young (16) so I can get at a healthy weight before I reach my adult years and it’ll be harder.

Hi can I just say this is an amazing video!! As a petite woman myself at 5 ft 1 (1.56m) I have struggled with weight over the past year and after watching this I know now it’s due to not lifting weights anymore!!! I never thought of it this way, Thankyou

This is starting to make sense to me. I've been eating around 1300-1500 calories at 5'4 (high protein, extra vegies) for a month faithfully in addition to weight baring exercis 4 times a week and I feel so weak. It's just not sustainable! I'm upping my calories and hopefully this helps.

I’m 4”11 and struggling to lose weight. I sooo relate

watching this in anorexia recovery and now i feel like there’s hope for maintaining my healthy weight when i get there.

5'3 here...I am so happy I've found you (or at least the algorithm)! New subbie!

VALIDATION! I'm 5 ft., and this lifted so much weight off my shoulders! Thank you!

I am 5’2, I have dieted all my life, messed up my metabolism. Yo-Yo’d all the way now I have just plateaued. :( Your video is helpful!

I was in a calorie deficit and I had the mindset that I was doing the right thing because of how little I was eating, but I didn't realize that skipping breakfast and eating a small amount of calories was making me weaker and lethargic.. I would lie in bed all the time and not get enough sleep... now I don't count my calories but I feel much better because I have energy to get me through the day and be more active

I'm totally guilty of exercising more to offset a day of overeating. My chosen preferred form of exercise/sport is running and I actually really love it. I don't just love running, I actually love doing long distance runs and have participated/ran a couple of marathons.🙊 I lost about 45lbs in quarantine counting calories, being in a deficit and going for hour long walks daily. I have kind of yo-yo dieted in my life and before I decided to lose weight, I was eating between 1800 calories to 2400 calories as a somewhat active person. I am a habitual eater, so I pretty ate the same few variations day in day out. I was steadily gaining weight on this amount of calories over a period of a decade. When I was dieting in quarantine, I dropped my calories to 1300 and eventually ended up consuming only slightly less than 1100 calories and this was coupled with my hour long daily walks. I didn't do any running during this time as I had gotten heavy enough for running to really hurt in not a good way. Now that I've reached my goal weight, I have started to slowly increase my calories to around 1400 to occasionally 1500 calories. After the weight loss, I was very lean but I also noticed that I am alot weaker in terms of strength in doing regular everyday things like opening doors, jars, sauce packets etc. I am currently lifting weights to help build some muscle mainly for strength and also improve how things look. I don't enjoy training with weights tho, I only do it as I have to, but I've kinda seen it as something I need to do like brushing teeth. I would love to be able to eat abit more eventually. I am still running tho because that's where my heart is. 🤭

This is the video I’ve needed to watch. Completely changed my view and my eating 🍽 💃

I'm 5'1 and struggling with weight my whole life. My metabolism is slow. My lowest weight was at 54 kgs and that was in my 20s. I'm now in my 30s and still overweight. I'm currently at 69 kgs. I try to workout 5x a week (strength training and HIIT) plus I try to keep my calories below 1200 daily. Sometimes I fail but still try. I was 75 kgs last month, lost 5+ kgs over the past month. We can do this!

Thank you! I have always felt so lost as a petite woman. This is so helpful!

I'm not petite but I learned a lot from watching your video, things I didn't know or never put together about the cyclic effects of calorie reduction and muscle loss, reestablishing a healthy caloric intake and the importance of eating protein. Really good watch. Thank you!

I like how you're giving examples of healthy meals that will keep you satisfied throughout the day. you should show some pictures in your next videos so we can visualize it. I'm on keto so I would have to modify your approach but I definitely switch between intermittent fasting and more meals with veggies and I feel really good.

Found this channel and so excited. I’m 50 and 5’3. Struggled since I was 10. Started lifting weights one year ago. Much better body comp. Then when you get to peri menopause it changes yet again. 🤦‍♀️

just found you and you did an amazing job explaining the detrimental effects of cal def! I’m learning how to be balanced :))) and that’s been helpful. It’s a slow recovery from three decades of eating disorder but it’s going to be so worth it when I am b a l a n c e d

you are an absolute queen girl! thank you so much, I felt so alone as a petit woman in regards of fitness ❤ you have such a great way of explaining!

There was a dark time I went daily with 800 calories. For reference, I am 4' 11

I watch Coach Greg. I'm petite. They work. Increase cardio. Its not eating less just more calorie dense foods!!

girl YES!!! thank you so much for making this vid. i try to tell people this all the time and they always say “well if i eat more than 1000 cals i gain weight so” and they dont understand why thats the case in the first place. 🤦🏻‍♀️ great and well explained vid.

This legitimately just blew my mind.

I was eating 1000-1200 calories a day for a long time and I lost around 50 pounds doing that. I eat around maintenance now which is still low compared to a lot of people (I am 4’11). The biggest thing that helped me when I was in a deficit was eating a lot of bananas, veggies and protein. I still ate chocolate if I really craved it. But I was always full/had a lot of energy for running on a lot less.

I wondered why it was so much easier for me to gain weight than to lose it. I tried doing things like running but it never helped. And even when I was constantly moving and exercising, I wasn’t losing I was maintaining. So glad I found your channel! I downloaded the guide, and I’m gonna share you and your guide with my girlfriend too! Maybe it’ll help us both! I’m so motivated to actually start it’s wild.

When I first started working out I was so hungry. I was also eating a lot of frozen foods. I wasn’t losing weight. Then I got serious and only started eating Whole Foods. Not only was I completely full all day, but I knocked off 5 lbs immediately. I’m not going back! I will continue Whole Foods and protein based diet

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!! Ugh i really needed to find this video. I have been recently obsessed with the gym and lifting, and have been trying to cut down my body fat %, this video helped me so much to start leaning and toning up :)

I am so glad I just came across this video! I have been struggling so much over the years with my weight. 2 years ago I severely decreased my calories to 800 cal per day for a office weight loss competition we were doing and i dropped 10kg in 3 months and I am trying to recover from this as I have gained 7kg by trying to undo the damage I have done to myself. I have been weight training and eating around 1200 cal per day but the weight it just piling on and it has been SO demotivating. But I know I need to stick it out for my health and metabolism in the long run. Being a petite girl (154cm) has made this whole process even more difficult but I finally understand after watching this video exactly what my body needs and what I need to do. My only question is how much water do we as petite ladies need to drink per day? I have read in so many places that we should not exceed 1.5l and other places say 3l per day, I am just so confused

OMG YES. I tell everyone if i wanna lose weight, i have to consume 1100 calories, and nobody understands, its cause im too short and i dont burn enough in a day

it all makes sense now

that’s so true i see a lot of fitness coaches (super muscular/tall) they recommend cutting 500-1000 cals!!! which will never work for me otherwise i’ll only be eating 100-600 cals which is crazy

Thank you so much for this. Im changing my mindset, my diet choices and sleeping hours. I might be thinking too much but i do notice a small change. Subscribed!

This exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. 🥺

one meal a day is actually pretty easy and works out super well for the most part

Not only that the road of "burning" what you ate with exercise is not effective it becomes a habit and then a form of anorexia. So it's a veeeery dangerous road. It's important to be careful with that balance of diet (more like eating well) vs healthy exercise. You sound like you understand it which is bery reassuring. Thankx for the video.

I love how you don’t restrict yourself! Reality is I do eat processed foods and I am working to eat more whole.

I’m 5” and lost 25 lbs and added muscle over the last year, putting me at about 22% body fat and quite athletic looking. Calorie deficit with adequate protein (~120 G protein) and weight lifting. Chronic dieting isn’t recommended. I’m able to maintain on about 2000 kcal per day and more when my activity is higher. When I do start lowering my calories I’m quickly responsive.

Ended up here because i’ve been eating about 800 cal a day and exercising 200cal in my walks thinking i should’ve been way skinnier by now!! but obviously my metabolism slowed down FAST and now i know a lot better! time to learn strength training

back to this vid again after 2 years and now im finally ready to accept this advice. i cannot survive off of 1400 cals

I remember asking some of these questions in your Q+A :) So glad you made a full video- i had almost started to try out the calorie deficit because its getting so popular on the media.

It is so much true what you said about the exercise. I used to work out just to burn calories (so I can eat more/get into a calorie deficit) and often times to also punish myself for eating something unhealthy. My mindset was like "You ate more than you should've today, so you're gonna do this workout twice to make it up for it". Which sucks. Sometimes I would even end up on the floor without any energy to even get up, crying and lying in my own sweat feeling miserable. I developed a very bad relationship with exercise. Whenever I thought about doing a workout, all I could think about was the pain and the awful feelings I used to feel. Which obviously made me NOT want to exercise at all. But recently I've been working on my relationship with exercise and it's actually been a month since I started working out more or less regularly! I had to start slow and find something that was fun for me to do. I used to do pretty much only cardio, because I thought that's the best way to burn fat, but this time I got more interested in strength training and building the muscles rather than burning fat! 💪 Since gyms are closed because of corona I only work out at home, but I hope one day I'll be able to shake this weird fear of going to the gym and really do it, because there are so many more options to build muscle there. Thank you for this video! I never thought of my height being the problem of never being able to properly lose weight, but it all makes more sense now.

My resting calorie is 1450, so I cut to 1400 as I already workout. My workouts were walking, TRX, and running twice a week. It worked. I went from 118 to 114 in a couple months. I got a lot faster in my run but fell off the wagon and stopped working out and watching what I eat, so up to 119.

I love how we have our own little community

You've earned a new subscriber with this video! Loved the tips and info you shared for us petite women ❤
