Day 3 of my weight loss journey
Today…kinda sucked I’m not gonna lie.
I’m trying to get into weightlifting and just doing some basic exercises, but they all have these forms that I just can’t seem to get right. On top of that, I’d be doing exercises that I’m supposed to feel in my glutes but I only felt them in my legs or I’m supposed to feel my biceps but I just feel my shoulders or my arms.
I’m trying to copy some of the girlies on TikTok and here on Lemon8, it’s just been really difficult for me to grasp. I got a bit overwhelmed and started to cry.
I know I’m a beginner and I won’t get stuff down the first, second, or third try. But I want to learn how to do it right, I’m just struggling.

On this weight loss journey, it's important to acknowledge the emotional ups and downs that come with starting a fitness routine. As many beginners often discover, weightlifting can be daunting, especially with the plethora of methods and exercises available. It’s essential to focus on proper form to prevent injury while also tailoring workouts to your body’s needs. If you’re feeling like you're not getting it right, remember that everyone learns at their own pace. When beginning weightlifting, consider finding tutorials from sources that match your fitness level, rather than solely relying on influencers. Look for beginner-friendly workout plans that prioritize technique and gradually increase difficulty. Engaging with a community, whether online or at the gym, can provide you with the support and encouragement needed on tough days. The hashtags #weightliftingjourney and #gymmotivation highlight others who share similar struggles and celebrate small victories. Stay patient with yourself and keep pushing forward, understanding that progress takes time.
