body recomp is a patience game but so worth it, she looks great
Yes she does!!! It truly is a long term plan and once you wrap your head around it - it's a game changer :)
I’m recomping, I’m in week 5. I took measurements on 1-1-23 and 1-30-23, I lost 2 inches in chest, waist and legs. I gained 1/2 inch in arms and didn’t lose in waist. My scale really didn’t drop much. Although I’ve dropped inches, I still find myself picking at myself seeing the same out of shape person. I’m going to take new pics tonight and keep moving forward 😊
Great plan!!! Remember the big picture!! If you are dropping inches what you are doing is working - keep going :)
How are things going for you now, in May?
Thank you! I needed this one, I haven't lost as much weight as I wanted, but I look a lot smaller, can lift more, have so much energy and most importantly, ALL my menopause symptoms went away- but I felt like a failure because the scale didn't go down dramatically. Again, thanks!
You are very welcome Tania! Sounds like you are on the right track! Just keep going!
My god 1lb!!!!! That’s insane! I won’t moan about no scale weight move ever again!!! Hitting everything. Hardly moved on scale since 2 December but everything else has moved down. I have included cardio for 15 mins per workout as I only ever walk to the gym and back plus other walks over the week. My PT says throw your scale out the window. 😂 Pics are due tomorrow.
Awesome!! so glad the video was helpful! If everything else if moving you are winning! Keep going!
“ Body decomposition is not a short term thing.” Truth! It is a new way ( and healthy way) of life.
YES!!! #itsalifestyle
I really need to stop procrastinating on taking measurements. But my clothes are fitting better for sure. And my feet hurt less, and push-ups are so much easier now. 😎
Well then sounds like you are crushing it! Just keep going!
I can relate to this as the scale hadn't budged in months...yet I tried on pants size 10 that I thought in my brain would not fit...they did. I was wearing a 12 for so long. Weight lifting has helped my body so much. It's been slow but I am consistent. Thanks for all your advice..it works.
You are very welcome and great job! Sounds like you are on the right track!!!
The amount of valuable information that you continue to provide to us for FREE is absolutely incredible!! You are amazing and I truly enjoy these videos. I’m hoping I can sign up for your program in the near future!! Thank you!!
Oh my goodness! That picture right there...👏🏾👏🏾 I'm completely convinced to throw away that scale for at least 3 months. Thank you for sharing this, Michelle and huge congrats to that lady!!
Right!! So glad it was helpful!!
Number 4 is my favorite. I can go long periods of time where I don’t see physical progress (measurements or strength) but I never considered my new healthy habits as a sign of progress. Thank you!
Yes!! You are very welcome!!
Thank you. Your videos are a lifeline when I get frustrated. I watch them and keep going reinforced I AM doing it the right way.
Thank you for all the great tips!! I’m in the middle of a body recomp now and I love how you repeatedly state don’t focus solely on the scale. I have to remind myself multiple times. I finally did progress pics, it was hard but I DID IT! Your videos are awesome!
So awesome!! You will thank yourself for having those progress pics to look back on months and years from now!!
Thank you!! I’m taking a picture each month now, in the same gym clothes. The change is so slow lol my weight hasn’t changed at all 😂 but the progress pics motive me. Just started In body last month. Will measurement at the end of each month
My rehab coach suggested stregnthening my body with weights after a running injury. Now I am falling in love with kettlebells. I still cant wait to get back to running but I am so happy that I started weights because I feel stronger and more aware of my body.
The #s on my scale are going down but much slower than when i used to crash diet (keto, soup diet, IF etc)
I have gone from a 14-12 to a stong 10 where I feel comfortable sitting and eating in those jeans. My tighter dresses are buttoning with more ease so im happy.
Subscribed
Well done!!!!
You are amazing, so glad I found you!! Already watched a couple of your vids and subscribed right away! You are the real deal! 2.5 years ago, I lost 24 lbs on a low calorie diet alone and although my clothes looked better and looser, no one at work nor family seemed to notice the weight loss. The strange thing is that the following year when I started to do a workout video for 5-6 days a week for 3 months along with walking, the scale numbers started to go up BUT suddenly my coworkers and family asked me if I had lost weight. I was shocked that no one said anything when I lost the weight initially yet noticed it only when I was incorporating exercise and I guess toning up. Unfortunately, I got discouraged on that scale number not going down despite how lean I was getting and just stopped. I started working out consistently with 10lb weights 4 days a week since December and the scale has gone up 6lbs since doing weights however I look much better than I did 6 lbs ago . I am definitely seeing a difference in my legs, butt looks more lifted, waist line coming in more, less back fat. I take progress photos every end of the month. You are so right about doing that. I am not happy that I am where I never thought I would be back at again, but come summer, I will look back at these old photos and see how far I have come. :)
Great job!!! Sounds like you are crushing it!!
Wowwwww that before and after! This is EXACTLY what I needed to see.
Crazy right??!! So glad it was helpful!
Way to go 🎉 for your client! That’s fantastic! #goals, she looks so strong!
I think so too!!!
Amazing results!
Your client is a rock star!
I agree!!!
Congrats to your client! That confident posture in the second pic - that's what it's all about! She's working hard and seeing the results - awesome! Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge here on TH-cam, Michelle. I'm only 3 weeks in but I feel so much better, so much stronger. I love going up in weight at the gym - even if it's only by 2.5 lbs; it's a powerful feeling. I did take before pictures but did not take measurements so I need to do that. One of the things that really keeps me on track it planning out my meals with calories and macros the day before so that I know exactly what I'm eating. I log them all on a spreadsheet so it's easy to copy and paste when eating the same things each day. As long as I leave room for one energy ball with my coffee I am not tempted to cheat because I know I get that sweet treat. I never realized how little protein I was eating before starting this. Another big change I noticed - I am able to lug around my 2 year old grandson much easier now! Thanks again and thank you to your client who agreed to share these pictures with us! She is an inspiration!
You are very welcome!!! So glad you are finding value in my videos!
I needed this encouragement so much. Thank you. Been working out 3x/week since august (it’s now December) and scale hasn’t budged. So stressful. But I think my clothes fit better. I just really want to be healthier and thinner. But you’re right, it takes a lot of time. I really have to be more patient. This is helping.
Listening to this as I'm lifting. Thanks for the content!
Awesome!! You are so welcome!!! Have a good workout!
Ugh.... It's hard to eat right when your in a household of processed food lovers.
I'm talking about me
Thank you thank you thank you for saying this , I was basically crying last night feeling like I wasn’t making any progress and I made up in my mind I’d look for a weightless program next week because this “isn’t working” because I’m just frustrated omg…I’m in week three of a 6 week body recomp program btw 🤣🤣..Also I measured myself finally and I’ve lost an inch arms thighs and waist loll looking in the mirror for a change or scale is NOT IT
You are so welcome and YOU’VE GOT THIS GIRL!!! Patience and consistency!! Keep going and imagine where you could be a year from now! Let’s go!!!
Yes Michelle I started mine Jan 1, and I had a few NSV’s (non scale victories) this week, tried on these slack pants I bought in Nov and they didn’t fit at all, I looked like a Can of busted biscuits in them lol, but they went on a lot better!! They don’t fit perfect yet but gettin there! The only reason I keep going is because I’m seeing results! I did BeachBody vids for two years and never saw these changes until I started lifting more!!
Oh and I’m 43, have 3 kids :)
Amazing!!!
Wow you are doing great!! Well done!!
Thank you so much for this! It was very helpful and encouraging.
My weight has stayed the same, even though I have dropped dress sizes. Over a year now. I thought something was wrong because they say that muscle ways more than fat so I assumed I would put on weight
Sounds like you are crushing it!! Who cares what the scale says if you went down a dress size? What you are doing is working - keep going :)
@@MichelleRoots Thank you so much for your encouragement and straight to the point advice. I’m definitely more motivated now😁
Fantastic video - thank you!! Similar to many other comments here, the scale isn’t moving but my body definitely looks differently. Your clients photos are mind blowing- and encouraging. 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
I get so excited listening to your advice, it lifts my confidence so high, you just don't know!! Quick question, are you for or against bonus calories or calories earned in the MFP App???
So glad they are helpful!!! As for eating back exercise calories, no I don't recommend it. Stick to your calorie deficit as exercise calories burned is all just an estimation.
I have quit processed foods and all sugars, no flour. I am GF so that’s easy enough. I have been strength training and doing HIIT and feel as though my jeans are fitting better. I still have far to go to tone my mama tummy. I love your videos! Thank you for the info! I don’t count macros! Not fun for me! I just try to eat small portions and clean! 😊
This is helpful content and so true about progress pictures and not focusing on the scale!
So glad it was helpful!!
Super helpful. Thank you for the great tips and encouragement! I’m working on my patience. The scale stooped moving a while ago, so I stopped using it. I took measurements & progress pics instead & I’m definitely getting stronger…so I must be doing something right! I need to keep your voice in my head the next time I get down about my progress. If I’m working towards long term success, I can’t expect overnight results. That’s such an important lesson. I have lots more to learn, but every one of your videos provides a wealth of information and motivation. Thanks again Michelle. You’re the best!

Ive been working out consistently for 3 months. Im not losing much weight but i look smaller. This is a process smh
If you are getting smaller it’s working keep going :)
Thanks Michelle! I'm getting stronger but my clothes don't fit any better, not sure what's happening. I am in menopause though, I do IF and low carb. I strength train about 3x a week and do HIIT or walk most days.
Hey Carla - If you are getting stronger that's great, but it's hard to determine why your clothes don't fit any better without more info. I would say just keep going if you are getting stronger you are building muscle and you will see changes soon I'm sure!
Started my body recomp in June of 2021. Ive lost 22lbs! Wish I had before pics!!! I'm pretty happy where I'm at now but wouldnt mind gaining more muscle. Love your honest approach to fitness and weightloss. Great video!
Thank you and so glad you loved the video!! Great job on your weight loss!!
@@MichelleRoots thank you!
I’m sure you have a video on how to take before pics and measurements….gonna search got it. About a week into this and what easy loving the way I feel but didn’t do the pics yet or measure
Yes its linked in the description of this video :)
Thanks Michelle
You are very welcome!
Great video thank you ! is there any point during body recom that I should increasing the calories?
You are awesome 😎
Happy to Help :)
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Love ynd video
Thank you
When you show the testimony can you please let us know the age the height - I think that’s an important part
Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed the video! Although I'm not sure why age and height are important in an progress picture? Possibly if I was talking about calorie intake and weight loss, but I think showing a before and after pic of how someones body changed from lifting weights and eating to fuel their body vs. starving themselves age and height is quite irrelevant? Progress is progress period
I’ve been working out with a trainer 4 days a week since Sept and can see the transformation. At my heaviest, I was 243 lbs, now I’m 162. Muscle mass is up, body fat is down. We do a body scan every week. I’m not satisfied and am thinking about canceling my birthday trip to buy a new treadmill instead.
No one is ever at a point of satisfaction when it comes to their body image. That is part of the reason why people that are fit continue and never stop. You have to love yourself and be proud of what you’ve accomplished. You’ve gotten so dang far. Take the time off for your birthday and refresh. You also have to practice self love. Your a freakin rock star for dropping that weight.
Wow, Congratulations on your progress!🙌🏽 How many calories did you eat at the beginning of your journey? Did you do the typical 30-40-30 percentage of protein, carbs and fat?
I suffered from an eating disorder for so long and always counted on the scale. I tried different fad diets, and had an obsession over the scale. I have now stopped checking it. It’s been 2 weeks since I started. What I’ve noticed first! When I flex my arms and legs it’s not longer flabby and soft haha 😂 I keep telling my bf to feel my legs and feel my arms. 😂 I’m trying to do things simple so I don’t become overwhelmed. My current weight is 167 I’m 32. Do you think 1700 calories is a good starting point? I’ve been working out 4-5 times a week with mainly compound exercises. 3-4 times a week and 1 core cardio day.
Greetings great video! Question for the long haul do you recommend intermittent fasting I'm trying to lose 180lbs? Thanks
Ive been eating healthily for the most part for a few months. My weight hasn’t budged at all, but I’ve seen some body changes and strength has increased. However, I seem to have stalled in my strength progress for the last month and don’t feel as energetic as compared to a few months back. Is this how I know I should be increasing my calories to match my workout, or how do I know if I’m eating enough to be recomping successfully? Thanks Michelle!
Great video thank you i have a question i am a mum of two and i know being consistent over a long period of time is key along with being kind to yourself being patient making changes takes a lot of time and you shouldn't put a time frame on when you expext to see results my problem is i cant make it to the gym when its my childrens school holidays 1week/2weeks summer holidays 6weeks can using barbell and weights be enough for home workouts?
Yes Mom of 2 here as well!! I own a fitness studio 5 mins from my house and often my workouts throughout the week are at home with just dumbbells and bodyweight due to my crazy schedule and kids lol.... you can still get very good workouts with dumbbells (barbell at home is bonus!)
I have anorexia and been reverse dieting for about 2 weeks nut I can't use waist and hip measurements because when you start eating again you get all the weight in fay around your stomach because it goes there first to protect the vital organs. I have been regularly following a strength training program to build muscle a d keep fat to a minimum and I can see mu arms and leg muscles getting larger and also I can lift heavier each week. I am also gaining weight. Is it possible with these changes I'm seeing and experiencing that I'm having some body recompositioning happening? Thanks Michelle.
Thank you mam for another helpful video... If underweight person has skinny fat then can they do body recomposition... Then how can they do. .
Hey you are very welcome! I have a video talking all about that here: th-cam.com/video/l4Vg6TV7l0k/w-d-xo.html
How often should i do inbody check ?
I did it last month, and from there, i started a new strength program. i will finish it soon. Should i do inbody right after ? For some reason i am afraid that i gained a bit of fat sense sometimes i ate in a surplus to build muscles " i am not counting calories" but just a feeling
I would say every 6-8 weeks
How much time should you commit each day to get results?
Strength training a min 3 times per week is a great place to start
Sorry how much time each of those day should I aim for?
My weight has gone up by 5kg in 3months ... im not sure if its working . my clothes fit the same though.
How long should a person take creatin before noticing a difference? I’ve been taking it since January 1 and see no difference.
I have a video already on my channel talking all about creatine! Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/PdxC-27JJBs/w-d-xo.html
👍👍
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Does long term use of creatine make you bald?
I can't confirm that lol
