I just finished the slim thigh challenge and measured my thighs (after one rest day) come to find that my upper thigh is measuring 4cm bigger than when I started. This is the first time I properly started working out and I might not be getting my protein intake completely (I’m vegetarian and fairly short so it’s hard getting enough protein at a calorie deficit). I’ve also gained a kg which is really hurting my ego. Although my waist is measuring 3cm smaller and abs are a lot more defined.

I do eat pretty well, have only had one “fast unhealthy meal” across this whole program for a family members bday, no real junk food as I replaced all my favourite snacks for healthy alternatives (e.g chips with dip to carrots and protein dips), drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, avoided a lot of oil in my meals, etc.

Just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience? I’m doing the summer shred challenge next and I don’t want to give up but dang makes it a bit unmotivating
