[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 5’6” and at 130 I would look like death. At 110 I would be literally dead as that would leave me with no fat at all. Are you skinny fat, OP? Maybe instead of obsessing about the number of the scale, try to improve your body composition by lifting some weights and properly fueling your body? You won’t be lighter but you might very well end up smaller. [/quote]

NP I was going to say something similar. I lost about 15+ lbs during the pandemic doing IF and meticulously counting calories. Even though I loved the way I looked, I was being over restrictive and it wasn't sustainable. And I decided I wanted to build more muscle which requires putting on some weight. So I stopped dieting so much and started focusing more on lifting heavy, especially trying to build my shoulders and my glutes (which makes your waist look smaller). I've probably gained about 10 or so lbs back and yeah, some of it is from not being as disciplined in my diet but there is a noticeable difference in my body shape now compared to before. When I look at pictures of myself from 10 years ago when I was roughly about the same weight but didn't lift weights, only did cardio and smoked like a chimney, my body doesn't look as defined even though I worked out alot then too. But its the type of workout thats made the difference. Now I look more strong and athletic despite not being super lean.[/quote]
