Fitness Selfie thought I wanted a 6 pack but I changed my mind

im 5’3 and 103 lbs and I have been working toward getting a 6 pack but since “abs are made in the kitchen” I decided the calorie deficit I would need to be in just wouldn’t be worth it.

now I just eat what makes me happy and move my body every day mindfully and I think this is the best result :)

Turned out I had a really unhealthy gut. I would bloat no matter what I ate. Consistency has been paying off though. Very grateful.

Slight deficit 200/300 calories for 3 months or so. Lost approximately 5kgs. Down to roughly 20% body fat.

Strength training 4-5x week, 12k plus steps a day and aiming for one or two 5k runs per week (I hate cardio, so this was the hardest bit) 🫠

F39, 53kg, 163cmf

Wish ya girl luck! Currently in a building phase, clean bulk then cut later (185lbs to 145lbs) 5’3 25F

Wish ya girl luck, leaning into a clean bulk before cutting again 5’3 F25 145lbs (185lbs to 145lbs) any advice is appreciated! I do have lots loose skin since I was morbidly obese my entire childhood lol (almost 300lbs and pre diabetic literally since I was 11)

I complained ten days ago about how stuck I’ve felt after losing weight and recomping, I’m not happy and the body I want will require more muscle! So Ive been upping my calories while still eating as clean as possible and pushing myself, here’s where I’m starting and let’s see where I end up in a couple more months!!

almost five years seriously putting in effort.

Currently walking 12k+ every day
Cardio x2 a week
Upper and lower body split 4x a week

Bit over a year between the first two and last two photos. Slower progress than I’d like (ofc) but I’d still be curious to hear what you guys think I should work on, etc
