30 day Back Progress
Hello my fellow petites! I committed to my fitness journey on January 1st, 2026 starting at 174lbs. I am 35, 5’3 currently 161lbs as of June 1st. I have lost 13lbs since January 1st. Between May 4 and June 1st, I have lost 3% body fat putting me at 28.7% body fat measured (pictured above) via the bodpod testing that I started doing in April.
I have 3 goals and would be happy to achieve either one. 140lbs / 24% body fat / 28 inch waist.
I started strength training 4-5 times a week for 45-50 mins via Burn Bootcamp app mostly at home w/ heaviest weights being 2- 26lb kettlebells w/ stair master once a week for 1 hour in gym and saw little progress between Jan and Feb (only lost 1 lb but lost 2 inches on my waist).
Feb- Mar I tracked every single thing I ate w/ food scale averaged about 1,700-1,800 calories and lost 5lbs.
Mar- Apr similar habits but less strength training and no food tracking and only lost 1 lb and decided I needed a change. I found myself getting into restricting foods, dropping calories but I knew it wouldn’t be sustainable so I got my body fat tested and got a better idea of my starting point other than the scale.
Apr-May: I added 10K steps and that’s when my body started changing drastically and I added creatine during this timeframe but I was losing muscle mass because I was only strength training 1-2x week, if that.
In May, I was 164lbs and 31% body fat
Between May and now: I strength trained 3-4x week for 45-50 minutes via Burn Bootcamp app, walk minimum 10K steps daily, drink minimum 80oz of water, collagen and creatine daily, sleep 6-8 hours, consume minimum 100g of protein, tracked and weigh my food averaged 1,800-1,900 calories daily. I will note that I am pescatarian and my main protein sources are Orgain protein shake, eggs, salmon, tuna, plant based sausage, plain yogurt, mozzarella cheese, collagen and edamame.

We’re so compatible but…
We connected based on a free service I am offering.
I met her through a game night and my eyes were on her the entire time. During the game night, I mentioned a service I provide and she expressed interest right away and she said she would reach out. Of course I thought it was all talk but she actually did reach out.
First interaction providing the service, it was strictly business but the 2nd interaction, there was more personal dialogue and laughs, finished out each other’s thoughts. We were so in sync. I just started feeling tingling and weakness in my stomach (a feeling I haven’t felt in YEARS. We’re both single, looking to date intentionally and learned that we signed up for the same LGBTQ events & when we got off the phone, she made it a point to say she’s looking forward to seeing me at the events.
Should I shoot my shot or leave it alone because I’m providing a service?
