Hope it’s okay to post this here. I’m hoping to hear some positive experiences with gaining muscle definition so I don’t lose all hope.
I train 3-4 times a week and do dumbbells/kettlebells and treadmill. I’m not amazing at it, I can’t run but I’ve been pretty consistent for the last 6 months. I currently lift 6kg dumbbells which sounds pathetic I know but I started the year with 3kgs so at least that’s progress. I know that my muscles are getting bigger, I can feel the difference in them especially my triceps. But my body fat according to my scale is 38% (down from 40%, again pathetic but it’s took me 5 months just to lose 10lbs). So I feel like I’m doing this work and no one can see it as I’m just a whale. I know I have to lose the fat first so am I wasting my time building muscle and should I just focus on losing weight? But I also know that resistance training is good for weight loss, I’m so confused. FYI I’m 150lbs & 5ft.
And then I get super jealous when I see slim women that I know don’t go to the gym and they have biceps, like lovely toned well defined arms and they don’t lift. And if I tell people I lift they probably think I’m delusional as my arms are just enormous. And there’s no chance of anyone seeing the quads in my thighs.
Eurgh I hate it.
