These threads depress me, and yet I read them anyway. 5 ft 8, 169lbs, run 5 miles once a week, 2 miles once a week, and do HIIT resistance training 3 days. Lots of walking. I don't look fat. I wish I weighed 10-15lbs less.

I walk 4.25 miles 6 times a week at a pretty face pace and 5-6% incline. I'm hoping to add some sort of strength training when I hit 125-130, but I don't really know how to get started with that. My legs and arms tend to have pretty good muscle tone naturally but my butt needs help!

Don’t wait. Dieting and cardio equals muscle loss. Resistance training helps maintain lean tissue while dieting. You won’t see any bulk but you will also prevent ending up thin but flabby when you are done. In terms of where to start for beginners it pretty much does not matter. Just google some beginner routines for the equipment you have or body weight routines if you do not own anything.

Trying to walk 10K steps. If I get on the treadmill for 30 minutes I knock off 5K steps. At home doing all the chores etc, it is barely 1K.

Really? I am cleaning the house now, like really cleaning for a move. Yesterday I hit 10K by 7 pm. Today I am at 1.5K at 8:30 am.

5'4" 115lbs. 50 years old. I usually walk, but not for the last 3 months as I had too much work. I used to walk/run on a treadmill for 45 minutes 5 times per day and do yoga. Not since March though.
I mostly sit and write now, but hope to get back to walking soon.

5’4, 118 lb

Hard training.
Running 40-60 miles a week, ranging from 8 minute pace on trails to 7:00 on roads to 6:15 on hard days.
Lift and core 4x a week

A few weeks out of the year I switch to cross training, biking or swimming. Also the occasional very long hike or obstacle course.

I run a lot, lift weights, swim, ride a bike. I'm not as fat as I sound on paper - size 6 petite - I guess it's mostly muscle. I have a horrible post-childbirth belly, though (even though I'm in my 50's).

5'3" 135lbs- (a little higher than normal for me)
I walk about 4 or 5 times a week (3 or more miles each walk), tennis about 2 times a week
I am very deficient in weight lifting and know I need to incorporate in order to slim down a bit.

I try to run 3 days a week, do peloton 2 days a week, walk 1 day a week and take a day off.

If it's diastasis recti, you might be helped by PT. At least, I was.

5’5” About 133 at the moment, having gained a few pounds due to an injury a couple months ago that made me have to cut way back on my workouts for a while. I’m about 95% recovered, but trying to lose the injury weight during the holidays just ain’t gonna happen so I’ll start on that Dec 26th.

Run 3-4 days a week for about 20 miles weekly total. 2-3 days HIIT, strength, Pilates or yoga. One dedicated rest day, which usually consists of an easy hike, walking, or lots of errands. Walk with the dog a few times a week. Daily stretches for my hips, glutes, hamstrings and shoulders.

5'9" 147lbs, I do some form strength training, HIIT, or pilates 4-5 days per week.

5'5" 155
Lift heavy weights 4x a week
run 2x a week ~9 mile total

Prime example that diet matters more than exercise. Not that I don't eat well, I do, but I, admittedly eat too much.
