[nicoleroden]

Oh man, the fear of succeeding is so relatable. Fear of not being invisible anymore, fear of unwanted attention. It’s real

[kristenmccoy]

Shifting my mind from less food/tons of cardio, to more food/weight training, is so much harder than I had expected.

[ilovefairiesverymuch]

me, a 5’7 girl watching this & feeling like an intruder lol

[dreawelty]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’M DEALING WITH!! I am 5’2 lost 30 lbs last year, but have not been able to get muscle definition

[ThePopperspenguin]

totally needed that reality check about structure and consistency, it's definitely what I struggle with most. appreciate your content as always!

[kerenkazatchinski]

I am 5'9 and reduced by body precent by 5% with weight training. Keep going.
Started at 38% and now 31-32%.

[lindsaymorley]

Its quite the feeling when you have been struggling with something for over a decade, and then someone says something that clicks things into place for you. Thank you for this video!

[Orchidmami]

I hear all the time “it’s nutrition” but never details. This is the first time I’m hearing from a 5ft girly what to friggin do!!! Thanks so much Queen!

[heidion]

I’m quite a tall girl and being skinny fat my whole life😢 I also find this video useful! Thank you so much!

[BethVonBlack]

Great video, my only (hopefully constructive) criticism would be the '4-6-8 weeks and you will see visible differences' line - because for the most part, it takes months and months to build enough muscle to be able to actually see it. Because of this trope, people erroneously believe that fat loss and muscle building can be done 'fast' when it categorically cannot. If we made it more clear that they both take lots of time, maybe people won't be so disheartened after a few weeks of 'not seeing progress'! x

[andreawright]

"Not having a plan" 😮 that's my reality check point

[margaretrangel]

I’m 5’3.5 and my weight fluctuates 112lbs-120lbs and have been dealing with this skinny fat issue for years

[OBNfull]

Ahh girl I found you when I started my fitness journey 2 years ago and I feel so amazing now! I've built enough muscle to look more toned and can be at a consistent maintenance level. It's so cool to know what I need to do if I ever want to lose a little extra fat, or just let myself indulge once in a while! I'm happy that I've found a long lasting way to keep myself in shape and healthy.

[Bookworm]

just watched this video as a 4’11” woman! i am definitely “skinny fat”. i’m so sad i missed the webinar today 😞 but i just subbed to your channel!

[gregorymiseyko]

Excellent advice. Spot on advice by April. Muscle matters and looks great, and you feel fantastic. 100 gr protein in 3 meals over 8-9 hour window. Limit carbs to non-starchy veggies, low sugar fruit (avocado, berries). Must do resistance training.

[abbyhansen]

Even though I am 5' 9" this is still very helpful even if the advise was intended for petite people. Thanks for the tough love!

[britneyboswell]

I am 5’6 and i have always struggled with skinny fat! Definitely struggle with a lot of these issues you mentioned. Love that you’re giving it to us straight, i need accountability big time

[darienodette]

April, thank you so much for doing what you do. I found this channel about 6 months ago when I felt terrible about eating 1, 500 calories and was really scared to go to the gym, but you brought me the motivation I needed to start a workout routine and form a healthy relationship with food. I actually made a new playlist on YouTube when I found you, titled "I Needed This". Thank you much, you're an inspiration ♥️
