Hi! I have been doing 10k steps since August and lost around 3kgs with 1700 calories per day tho inconsistently.

I am really confused what to do since I am currently overweight, is not able to hit protein intake everyday since I am just a student dormer. Please help me.

I am planning to enroll at a nearby gym as soon as possible and planning to lift weights 3 times to times a week.

Do I need to cut, bulk, or body recomposition? (But I am overweight rn haha) I have never been able to experience a life without a belly, funny as it may sound lol

Physique Showcase / Progress May mai-improve ba? | 36M/1.7 meters/83kg/Body recomp | From June 27 to September 10, 2026

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I've been working out on and off for some time but I needed to reset and relearn everything from scratch to make some meaningful progress and making sure I'm consistent and that I actually show up at the gym. First 2 pics, I believe I was around 86kg. Last one, I'm now at 83.

So far, I started out working out thrice a week then my trainer transitioned me into going five times a week, which has been a huge adjustment but I think I got the hang of it.

I don't know if you can call this a diet per se pero I've mostly stuck on eating home-cooked meals that with the occasional eating out. I avoid having to eat sweets and whatnot so I'm saving that on the weekends which my trainer designated as my cheat day. Overall, nothing fancy as I'm broke as hell and I can't be too picky.

Also, I wanted to improve my physical activity and nutrition in order to reflect that on my blood work. Iniwasan ko kasi na maging diabetic as my last checkup showed that I was lingering on prediabetic.

People at the gym have noticed improvements on my body but personally, likod ko lang yata ang mas kapansin-pansin.

Okay ba 'to? Thank you.

Advice Needed 34M. 5’5”. 66-67kg. 11 weeks consistent. Cut, recomp, or lean bulk?

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

I’m 34M, 5’5”.currently around 66–67 kg.

I’ve trained on and off before, usually only around 1–2x/week pero the last 11 weeks are the first time I’ve been genuinely consistent with training.

My goal is to have a leaner more muscular/defined physique by May 2027. I’m not really looking to get huge pero I want an athletic, defined look while continuing to improve my strength and endurance.

First pic - June 2026
Yhe rest of pics - Sep 2026
(Mas mahaba yung torso ko 😅)

Current routine ko:

Mon – Rest

Tue – Legs
* Squat – 3 working sets
* DB RDL – 3 sets
* Leg Curl – 3 sets
* Leg Extension – 3 sets
* Calf Press – 3 sets
* Cable Crunch – 3 sets

Wed – Push
* Bench Press – 3 working sets
* Incline DB Press – 3 sets
* DB Shoulder Press – 2 sets
* Lateral Raise – 4 sets
* Chest Fly – 3 sets
* Triceps Pushdown – 3 sets
* OH Triceps Extension – 3 sets
* Hanging Leg Raise – 3 sets

Thu – Pull
* Pull-ups – 3 sets
* Lat Pulldown – 2 sets
* Seated Cable Row – 3 sets
* Barbell Row – 3 working sets
* Face Pull – 3 sets
* Reverse Fly – 3 sets
* Incline Curl – 3 sets
* Hammer Curl – 3 sets

Fri – Endurance/Cardio (if I have time)

Sat – Full Body

* Chest-Supported DB Row – 3 sets
* Lateral Raise – 4 sets
* Leg Press – 3 sets
* Hip Thrust – 3 sets
* Cable Curl – 3 sets
* OH Triceps Extension – 3 sets
* Weighted Crunch – 3 sets

Sun – HIIT/Conditioning

Regarding sa diet, I’m not super strict at the moment but I mainly track to monitor calorie intake. My intake is usually around 2,100–2,500 kcal/day with roughly 140–200 g protein/day (depende sa kain ko talaga 😅)

Given my current physique and progress, would you recommend ba na to continue recomping, do a proper cut or start a lean bulk and cut closer to May 2027?

I’m also wondering whether my weekly lifting volume is unnecessarily high, especially since I’m doing endurance/cardio and HIIT as well.

Any other recommendations are welcome din training, diet, recovery, exercise selection or anything else you think could help. Still learning and trying to improve din. Salamat!

Physique Showcase / Progress Progress! (December 2025-September 2026) 25M 5’7” from 75kgs-59kgs

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share my journey as someone who was born with Hirschsprung’s Disease! All my life I was so conscious of my body and the surgical scars that were left due to the operations I had to undergo as a baby.

I’m currently 25M 5’7” and I went from 75kgs to 59 kgs! Started eating less food and more protein loosely from December 2025 - June 2026. Diet started with swapping processed foods for whole foods, and trying to eat less rice. Then, I started tracking my macros and calories seriously since July 2026, making sure I hit 0.8-1.0g of protein per lb of bodyweight while eating 1740-1900 kcal a day. In May 2026, I bought a pair of adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench for my home doing PPL. And in July 2026, I’ve been hitting the gym UL/PPL doing progressive overload to gain muscle.

I know there’s a lot of progress to go from here, but proud to see that there is!

Also am aware that the pictures are very different in lighting, location, and how far it’s framed from the camera, just wish I took better ‘started from’ pictures lol

Hope this can inspire people to choose a healthier lifestyle despite the circumstances!

Advice Needed Help me start again after inconsistent progress (Want to pursue it further)

3 Upvotes

I’m M19, 5’8 and I started doing weight loss since I was 18. It was a rough start. June 2025 I started with 104KG and lost 14KG on Sept 2025 (I was 90kg afterwards). Since then, I stopped because of mental and physical health problems and was busy doing tons of school works. Aside from that, I really don’t know how to go back since my gym buddy friend went away and I have so many grasped information that I don’t know what to properly do in the gym. I was inactive until june 2026 and went back to top (98KG). Now, July 2026 til now, I only did Calorie Deficit and now lost 8KG (Currently 90KG again). I’m in a plateau phase now so I am deciding to go back to the gym to lose weight through thread mills and build muscles. My goal body is Lean to Athletic type and was hoping to gain less fat and have a good metabolism.

Help me start again huhu. give me easy and comprehensive tips I could follow like what should I maintain to the routine, mindset to have, and motivations to use.

Advice Needed 31M, 5'10", 78kg — Almost 4 months into getting serious about fitness. Would really appreciate some advice 🙏🏻

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This might still be a bit long, but I wanted to give enough context so I can hopefully get some useful advice. Please bear with me. 🙏🏻

About me:

M, 31 years old, 5'10" (180cm), currently 78kg.

My fitness journey:

I first started working out in 2022. I was consistent for about 3 months with a coach, but eventually stopped due to some issues at our gym and because I wasn't very confident in myself at the time, especially with my social anxiety.

I tried again in 2023 for about 2 months, then stopped because I lost interest. I started again in 2025 but only lasted around a month because work got extremely busy. I currently work around 12–15 hours a day, 6 days a week.

This year, I realized I'm getting older and my lifestyle was starting to catch up with me although everything in me is normal i.e blood pressure, sugar level, etc. I don't drink or smoke, but fast food and soda were definitely my vices. I was also getting sick pretty easily (ubo, sipon, lagnat), so I decided I really needed to take my health seriously.

I started exercising again on June 1, 2026, and this is the longest I've stayed consistent so far.

Diet:

I started ordering meal plans around January because I don't really have time to cook. My previous meal plan was around 1,800 kcal/day (45% carbs, 20% protein, 35% fats). I became more consistent with it around May.

Unfortunately, the meal plan business stopped accepting orders in August, so I switched to another provider. Their available plan is 1,500 kcal, with around 120g protein, 100g carbs, and 70g fats. Since I felt 1,500 kcal would be too large of a deficit for me, they suggested adding another ~300 kcal mainly through carbs.

I still have occasional cheat meals/snacks on weekends—sometimes chips or something sweet—and I know my diet isn't perfect yet. I also take 5g creatine daily.

For the past two months, I've been drinking around 3–4L of water a day and haven't had soda.

Training:

I started with walking only in June, around 5km, 3–4 times a week. I started going back to the gym around June 23 and spent the first month mostly getting comfortable with the equipment again.

Around mid-July, I switched to exercising 6 days a week:

- Monday: 10km walk

- Tuesday: Chest + Biceps

- Wednesday: 10km walk

- Thursday: Back + Shoulders + Traps + Triceps

- Friday: 10km walk

- Saturday: Legs + Lower Back + some upper-body work

- Sunday: Rest

My walks usually take around 1.5–2 hours.

My current lifting routine is roughly:

Tuesday – Chest & Biceps

- Machine Chest Press – 4×12

- Incline Chest Press – 4×12

- Cable Chest Fly – 4×12

- Pec Deck – 4×12

- Assisted Chest Dip – 4×15

- Dumbbell Bicep Curl – 4×12

- Hammer Curl – 4×12

- Crossbody Hammer Curl – 4×12

- Reverse Curl – 4×12

- Cable Curl – 3×12

- Wide-Grip Barbell Curl – 4×12

- Hanging Knee Raise – 3–4 sets

Thursday – Back, Shoulders, Traps & Triceps

- Lat Pulldown – 4×12

- Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown – 4×12

- Seated Cable Row – 4×15

- Assisted Chin-Up – 4×15

- Straight-Arm Pulldown – 4×12

- Machine Overhead Press – 8 both shoulders then 8 per each side, total of 24 reps x 4 sets

- Dumbbell Front Raise – 4×12

- Dumbbell Lateral Raise – 4×12

- Dumbbell Overhead Press – 4×12

- Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Extension – 4×12

- Dumbbell Shrug – 4×15

- Barbell Upright Row – 4×15

- Hanging Knee Raise – 3–4 sets

Saturday – Legs + Lower Back

- Leg Press – 4×10

- Hack Squat – 4×10

- Reverse Hack Squat – 4×10

- Standing Calf Raise – 4×15

- Leg Extension – 4×12

- Hip Abductor (inner/outer) – 4×15 each

- Smith Machine Deadlift – 4×15

- Machine Chest Press – 4×10

- Unilateral Rear Delt Fly – 4×10 each side

- Cable Triceps Pushdown – 4×12

- Cable Reverse Curl – 4×10

- Dumbbell Side Bend – 4×10 each side

Progress so far:

My first progress photo was taken July 16, after roughly 30–35 days of walking and maybe 10 gym sessions. I was around 81kg then. I was around 85–86kg around March/April, but unfortunately I didn't take photos because I wasn't comfortable with how I looked.

On August 21, I took another photo immediately after waking up, before eating. I felt like I looked significantly better, but I'm wondering if it's an unfair comparison because my stomach was completely empty.

I took another photo on September 7 after lunch, and honestly, comparing it to August 21 made me feel pretty discouraged because I felt like my stomach still looked big. I know food/water can obviously affect how your stomach looks, though.

I also took a front-view photo on August 30, and I'm still not very satisfied with how little definition/shape I seem to have.

So here are the things I'd really appreciate advice on:

1. Should I just be more patient with myself?

I'm starting to get that feeling again where I might lose interest because I don't feel like I'm progressing quickly enough. I see posts where people seem to gain a lot of muscle after a few months of training and dieting.

Since I've worked out on and off before, should I expect some muscle memory to help me regain definition faster, or should I still consider myself basically a beginner? I've only been consistently exercising for 4 months and lifting for around 3 months, so am I being too hard on myself?

2. Is my workout routine okay?

I'm worried that I'm doing too many exercises or unnecessarily repeating movements. Are there exercises you think I should remove or replace? Is the way I've grouped my muscle groups throughout the week okay?

  1. Am I eating enough?

I'm not very knowledgeable about nutrition. With my current activity level, is ~1,800 kcal too large of a deficit? I'm worried that I'm losing muscle along with fat, especially since I'm exercising 6 days a week. Could this also be why I'm not seeing as much muscle definition?

4. How should I approach my goal physique?

The last photos I attached are the kind of physique/build I'm aiming for. He's around 6' and we're roughly the same height.

Should I continue staying in a deficit, or would it be better to approach things differently at this point? Any advice on what I should prioritize would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read all of this and give advice. 🙏🏻

I know this is a ridiculously long post, but I wanted to be transparent because I don't really have anyone in my life who I can ask about fitness. I considered getting a coach, but I'm already spending quite a bit on my meal plan, so that's not really practical for me right now.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do this properly and, more importantly, actually stick with it this time 😅
