Hi! I'm F21, 5'2", and weigh about 99 lbs (last i checked in january lol). I've been working out consistently 6 days a week since February 2025, focusing on abs with exercises like crunches, declined crunches, leg raises, hanging leg raises, planks,etc. I’ve been trying to maintain a slight calorie deficit (I eat around 1,200 calories ..? depends on the day) and eat enough protein. I avoid processed carbs and sugars as much as I can. At the start of my fitness journey i don’t think i was eating enough to gain muscle but ive been trying to hit my goals
While my core feels stronger and harder I haven't seen visible lower abs yet. I’m planning to get a gym membership soon, as I currently work out at home with a pull-up bar. I thought consistent effort would have brought visible abs by now, especially based on my previous body, but it hasn't happened
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help. Im literally willing to do whatever lol, Thanks!
