Heavy weights! Meaning, you’re failing by the 8th-10th rep. I complete 3-4 sets of every exercise. Weightlifting completely helped me with body recomposition. I eat lots of Protein & complex carbs to build muscle, because that “toned” look is added muscle & you have to lift heavy in order to break down muscle tissue & allow to repair & grow. Good luck to you!!!

Kat2013 I was sleeved October 2020, down 50 lbs to date but I seriously need to do something to tone my body and build muscle. I have no clue where to start. Would you be willing to help a sister out lol. Maybe share a beginners workout routine. You look AMAZING!

Do you mind if I message too please?

This was me on the left in October 2020. The right was me today, 30 minutes ago. About 60lbs difference between the two. 3x to a 1x. 22 to a 16/18. 44DD to 40D. I still have about 90-100lbs to go but very happy with my decision to go through with it. Absolutely changed my life.

Once I am cleared to do actual harder strength training (above 20lbs), I will incorporate it into my routine.

Wow you all look so great. Definitely makes the all the tedious measuring of food and trying to make tiny portions feel like it’s going to be so worth it.
