If you lost it in a healthy way with a clean diet and cardio then amazing.
But if you "starved" yourself you might suffer from a jojo effect and have lost muscle than fat.

What a pain in the ass

I didn't starve myself, I work out after I ate. Now I lost 10kg. I lost it like in almost 3 months, I'm training to become a runner btw. I'm 74kg now.

I'm still skinny fat at like 175lb and I'm 6'1? I'm unsure of what I should do before I go to the gym. Cut to a really low body fat percentage and then clean bulk from there or just keep bulking. I don't want to get fat.

That's my same issue I'm 170 lbs and 5'9" but I don't know what I need to do?

Omg, you have the same height as me. I'm 163 lbs rn. Being skinny fat is the pits. I am still skinny fat, trying to get a flat stomach.

My body fat distribution pisses me off because for the most part I look skinny then I get to the stomach, back side, and thighs and I'm huge -_-. It's only that area tho

Hey guys, I am new here in this thread so it is nice to meet you all!

I have been working out for 5 weeks with my mum guiding me since she is completing a personal trainers course. I have already started seeing great results! I was literally a stick and now people are telling me that I am starting to fill in my school clothes (I go to a Catholic school so the long shirts are baggy). I can also see results in my chest and abdominal region, I can see my V-line and I can just finally see abs without flexing.


It has also calmed me down so much too, I feel so relaxed and I have been topping my classes. My acne has also cleared dramatically too! I feel so happy!

Okay. I have a few questions.

What exactly do you guys drink before/after working out? Like, protein shakes? How do those things work?
What foods do you recommend before/after working out? What about for a diet if you're trying to maintain abs?
How do you get a bigger chest?

Personally I only take proteinshakes after workout never before but I know people who take them pre and post workout.
To maintain abs I would recommend carb cycling and a high protein high fat diet. It's a bit complex but definitely worth looking up.
And chest grows like any other muscle. Bench presses with either dumbbells or barbells are the classic chest excercise which you can never go wrong with but there are way more excerciss out there.

Get the big muscle groups working(squats,bench press ,deadlifts). These will burn fat and strengthen more muscles at once. Also try HIIT training and a clean diet. You can always isolate muscles after these big movements
If you're just starting at the gym I don't think a bulk or cut is necessary. Just start doing regular excercise and eat clean for 1 or 2 months and that should give you a much healthier look and a starting point.
Then you can see if you want to lose more fat or build more muscle.
As always a professional trainer is the best asset.

So how much water would ya'll drink?

For all of you skinny-fat sufferers

Really helped me get on a right track.
Summed up if you're skinny fat
1) Cut to low BF (10-12%)
2) Go through bulking/cutting cycles every 2-3 weeks so you don't get fat

In terms of exercises, focus more on bodyweight ones rather than lifting.
Chin-ups, push-ups etc. I switched to those lately as well and been seeing more progress.

[Hey Gurl Hey]

Just ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill at 5.5 miles per hour and the last 5 minutes I bumped it up to 6.5 . I'm joining track this year and it starts on monday, i'm excited to get into shape also, I'm drinking some green tea right now. I already had a cup earlier and i'm having another cup. Green tea has amazing benefits and you should drink like 2 cups everyday if you're trying to lose weight and lots of waterrrr.

[Starstruck.]

I need to lose weight ugh I've gained a few kgs lately because I've been eating fast food non stop and ksj why (ew I know)

How do I stop before I actually become F.A.T.? This has never happend to me before and I keep making excuses for myself everyday

[Javan]

I can't gain to save my life. So depressing

[Yakslap]

Girls you dont understand I work in a BAKERY. I live in little Italy! And I love cooking large meals for my partner (who goes to the gym 5x a week and has amazing genetics) Fmlllll.

When I started College 3 years ago I was 135lb, and i just checked the scale and now im 170. I'm 5'11 and i'm technically classified as 'normal' for BMI, but clothes just dont fit right. Because im, what you guys are describing as "skinny fat" i have a tall thin frame, but I have moobs and a belly. So large shirts look like dresses on me, and mediums fit perfect length but clings to my moobs/stomach fmll.

I was 160 for a year or more, and ive recently started going to the gym as of june, and i thought i was eating a bit better on top of that.. but then I checked the scale this weekend and 170. I can feel my thighs touching

[Save My Life]

I done legs today and knowing that they ache so much just gives me so much adrenaline wow.

That's literally me. Even our weight and height are about the same (I'm 170lbs 5'8"). All of the fat are on my back, belly and thighs and it turns me into a little bear.

Running is the most amazing way to exercise ever. I've been running 40 minutes to an hour 3/4/5 times a week for a few weeks now and I feel so much less stressed, lost a lot of body fat, my skin has cleared up SO much more. This all in combination with eating more healthy though. I feel so much better

[Pop pop123]

Walking and Jumping ropes are better imo.

Running too much is not good for your knee.
