Girl none of us are perfect! Don't fool yourself into thinking these instagram models, dancers, or anyone else is without flaws.


-so shaving. i've shaved for 15 years, i just found a method that works for me. i basically work in long vertical strokes in three areas: ankle to below knee, knee, and above knee to top of thigh. Bikini area is basically a grid method too. I use dial bar soap and venus disposable razors (Sam's club is the best deal on these). Ceramides are fats added to lotions to form a barrier over your skin to prevent moisture loss. Try amlactin ceraputic/rapid relief (though it smells funny and stings after shaving). You'll thank me later.

-if all you want to do is buff your nails and trim your cuticles, i think that's way better than the effort most people put in.
-eyebrows are a BITCH. that was my hardest skill. get a powder and a fine eyebrow brush, and clean thet line up with a cotton swab. don't worry about making the perfect, eyebrows are sisters, not twins!

-gym: there's a book by Bret Contreras called Strong Curves which is the perfect starter book for any woman who wants to go to the gym, and doesn't know shit about working out. extra booty emphasis. don't sweat this though, you sound like you're in great shape. cut yourself some slack!

-i think the most important thing working in a strip club taught me is that everyone who looks like a 10 walks into the dressing room looking like a total car wreck. same for IG models. filters and photoshop do SO much for you. don't aspire to be 'like' another person. aim to be the best version of yourself you can. feel free to PM me if you need any more help.

I assume the personal trainer has you do weights? You're very active but I see no dedicated weight training sessions.

"Toning" is simply stripping fat from your body to reveal the muscle beneath the surface; if there's no muscle to show off, there's no toning. Strength training will not also help you tone, it'll increase your metabolism, help your body burn more fat compared to not weight training, protect you against osteoporosis, give you more energy and tons more.

If I was you, I'd do at least 3 weight focused sessions a week and cut back on the HIIT and intervals. IE

But you'll have to commit. There's a subreddit for it too.

Rather than eating unhealthy food, it would probably be better to check out the book Strong Curves

u/Wallaby42S · 3 pointsr/StrongCurves

You can get the kindle version of the book on amazon for $9.99, and read it on your phone/tablet

Good luck

Strong Curves is recommended a lot in this sub for good reason.

It has a bodyweight routine which can be done at home.

My wife bought the book Strong Curves and she loved it when she did it. It was an excellent program for her. She was able to do 1 hour workouts and after a few weeks she looked great! She stopped the program after 10 weeks and kinda just does her own thing based off of what she learned from it. She was relatively new to the idea of lifting and this program showed her all the basics. Hope you enjoy it! I use a similar program for men called bigger leaner stronger. The book for that program goes into more depth in regards to the most up to date science of exercise and nutrition. You may find that to be a good resource as well.


Edit: looks like there's a thinner leaner stronger program geared towards women from the BLS author. That might be worth looking into as well. Good luck!

Once you hit a healthy weight range it can get hard!

Personally, I like to focus on body recomp at that point (less on the scale and more on how I look).

What kind of cardio are you doing!? Constant Pace Cardio+Calorie Restrictions is not a good mix (in my experience). HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) max 25m/day and not everyday is probably the best way. The easiest would be 30 second sprint 30 sec rest/walk for 20-25 min. Work your way there example 20 sec sprint 40 rest/walk etc. What kind of Aesthetic are you looking for? Look at picture of marathon runners who are cardio junkie vs a picture of gymshark models who are focus on lifting heavy... That will help you pick your main focus. Not saying you shouldn't do both but spend a majority of your time on the right type! Personally, my pick is the gymshark models look so I go for lifting heavy with glutes focus (which also magically helps the core as well).

If you pick lifting as your main focus, you should check out Strong Curves by Brett Contreras, it's a really good one!

Good luck and don't get discouraged if you continue the gym+keto would probably end up looking freaking amazing faster than you think (I mean you already look good, but you know what I mean)! KCKO

I've heard a lot of people talk about Strong Curves. My wife just got this book and she likes it. /r/xxfitness also has good things to say about it.

Not ugly. So you want curves? and /r/xxfitness

Stop plucking your middle brows They're too far apart. Let them fill back in a bit. (On second thought it might be the angles of the photos... They just seem a few mm too far apart. Just a little)

Go to /r/skincareaddiction or /r/asianbeauty

Most of us feel better and look better with some makeup. If you're really thinking you have wrinkles and bags then you should probably find a therapist and invest some time and effort into loving yourself. You deserve to love your body
