Late July I was 159 lbs and now I’m 162. I wanted to try creatine to grow my glutes . I cut down on my cardio focused on lifting lower body 3x week ,cardio 2x 35 min and 1 upper body .But honestly, looking at these before and afters has me unmotivated because I don’t really see a difference. Be honest..do you?

Should I keep doing this or just focus on losing weight? Whenever I do lots of cardio and focus on weight loss, I lose weight quickly but my butt gets flat

I

This is my current body. Right now I’m eating around 1,600–1,800 calories, anywhere from 100–180g of carbs, and my goal is to get at least 120g of protein. Fats are usually around 30–50g. On the weekends, though, I sometimes overeat, orsometimes I barely eat at all.

For the girls who have a similar body type, do you think it’s possible for me to achieve my goal body? If so, what worked for you?

Right now I’m doing 3 lower-body days, 1–2 upper-body days, and cardio 3x a week for 35 minutes on a full incline. I’m mainly trying to lose fat around my waist while still growing my glutes and toning my legs. I’d really love to hear what worked for other women with a similar build.

155 → 135 → 165

My goal is to slim down my waist while keeping my glutes. The first picture was me 8 years ago starting my fitness journey, the second was 3 years ago when I was eating healthy and going to the gym but without a strict plan, and the last pictures are me now — following a workout routine, eating higher protein and carbs😬.

Some day I feel so uncomfortable with my weight be honest should I continue body recomp or cut?

My goal slim down waist toning body while keeping my glutes

First picture is me right now The second picture is from day one of my fitness journey about 8 years ago. The third picture is from 2023 during a mini cut.

I gained about 30 lbs in 2025, i wasn't taking my nutrition or workouts seriously. At the beginning of 2026, I decided to be consistent and focus on body recomposition. I've gone from 175 lbs to 165 lbs, but this past 2 months the scale hasn't been moving

My main goal right now is to Slim down my waist while keeping some of the muscle in my butt and yes I understand right now my butt is made of mostly fat

So my question is should I do a mini cut to make the scale move or add some cardio on my leg day i only do cardio on my upper body day i once heard that not good to do cardio on leg day?

Okay electricians (or anyone who actually understands this stuff), I need an honest opinion.

My husband has his uncle staying in our backyard a in RV/Trailer my husband is running an extension cord from our house all the way to the RV it's quite a distance too The RV is using a mini fridge, LED lights, phone chargers, and an electric bike charger.

I feel like this setup is not safe at all

My husband says it’s fine and that people use extension cords like this all the time.

We only give him power during the day, not overnight, but I’m still worried.

Is this actually a safe setup, or am I right that this could be dangerous?.
