I’ve been working out recently trying to cut and I must say it is so tiring, having to be in a caloric deficit and work out is just insane.
I don’t calorie count how I should and I don’t think I’ve been getting the needed protein to actually maintain decent energy and recover my muscles within a reasonable amount of time because I haven’t been able to afford the protein powder I’ve had my eyes on because my money has been used for lunches and travel

Also wow I hate working out my core I can’t get out bEddddd :(

I’ve only lost like 0.6kg of weight in 7 weeks because my body does a thing where instead of getting rid of “weight” any of the fat weight I lose turns into muscle and if anything makes me heavier half the time. I know my body works like this because my measurements for my body have been getting smaller but I’m gaining strength
I’m happy that I’m starting to lose a significant amount of pudge weight tho, we making progress 💪

If anyone has any questions regarding working out and stuff just ask away I’m pretty good at advice and debunking fitness myths

Yo that's literally the story of my life right now! I love working out but I get heavier because of the muscle gain lol. Which I'm personally fine with because it still streamlines me and makes me strong 💪caloric deficit tho is the worst. I suck at it. Candy is my weakness and thay has insane calories lol
Are you trying to put yourself in a calorie deficit? Be careful please! Losing weight takes time, if you lose it too fast your skin will sag so it’s best you take it slow. Good luck :((
Yooo dude keep up the good work! I'm also trying to shed some weight (need to get rid of 15 extra kilos ahhhh) and it's hard to stay motivated, at least for me :') I have a question though, how long/often do you work out daily/weekly? I've been doing 2 hours daily but I'm not sure if it's enough :(
