Over the past year I went from 146.5 lbs to 126 lbs through slow body recomp focused on walking, high protein intake, calorie control, and resistance training with a heavy focus on glutes/lower body. My waist went from 28” to 25”, thighs from about 26” to 22”, and clothing size from a 6 to a 0 while maintaining around 39” hips/glutes. My DEXA scans showed body fat dropping from around 32% to under 30% with minimal lean mass loss. I avoided crash dieting and focused on consistency, muscle retention, and gradual fat loss instead. This sub inspired me to start my weight loss journey! I achieved this recomp in 1.5 yrs. For reference I’m 5’0!
