If I'm being honest, I started going to the gym just for clout.

I didn't start my journey thinking na I wanted to be healthier or because I wanted to take care of my body, nah, pumunta lang ako ng gym kase uso siya. Started blind, buhat lang ng kahit ano hahahahahaha no form pure walang hiya lang.

Habang tumatagal, narerealize ko parang may nag iiba, biglang napapamahal ako... I fell inlove with the feeling na ang gaan ng pakiramdam ko, I fell inlove sa part na conscious na ko sa pinapasok ko sa katawan ko, nainlove ako sa fact na nagseself study na ko about fitness and pinakainlove ako sa results. Would have I known na maiinlove pala ako sa fitness nungn start ako? Hell nah.

So for whatever REASON! Curious, gusto maging healthy, gusto gumanda katawan, beach body, gusto mag compete or whatever! Just start. Learn the intricacies along the way. Love the journey. You'll never know you need it unless you do it. Labyu all.

Hi almost three months in with working out and I was 78kg before. I'm doing a calorie deficit + lifting weights + cardio (treadmill and walking) I don't know if notice ang subtle difference sa belly fats. I just want to know if I should continue doing what I'm doing or any advice you should give?

I started my fitness journey last December 2025. It started as home workouts and lean diet for the first half of the year 2026. Then, for the last two months I enrolled at the gym near my home. I’ve been working out, targeting upper body, arms, core and lower body 3-4x a week and having no restrictions on my diet but I increased my protein intake for muscle gain. I somehow, lack sleep and have no consistent sleep schedule due to work schedule.

May I ask if should I continue what I’m doing or should I add supplements to my diet such as creatine, whey protein or such? Share it with me if you do have recommendations. Thank you in advance.
