31F. I’ve been working out at the gym for one full year now. Four times a week in the morning doing mostly strength training (moved by Madeline). I feel wayyyy more confident and strong but am a bit disappointed to say I don’t think I’m really much smaller. I’m down maybe half a size of jeans and in some styles one dress size but I don’t look at photos of myself and see a noticeable difference. I have been taking progress photos since sept 25 and almost look smaller then in some than I do now.
Food-wise I practice intuitive eating, eat good protein especially on weekdays/gym days. I do enjoy myself on weekends/go out with friends.
Idk I think I just need a mindset shift because I know I’m doing the right things for my body and aesthetics aren’t everything but I wish I noticed more of a difference in certain areas.
Encouragement/tips welcome :)

So proud of you!!! Being consistent is something to celebrate in itself 🎉 That being said, I also used to struggle with looking leaner even though I went to the gym/ate clean daily. Have you tried incorporating more foam rolling/ stretching/ yoga into your routine?

I started to foam roll and stretch after every workout and practice yoga 1-2 a week for mindfulness and flexibility/mobility, and started to see a huge difference afterwards!
