Not Losing Any Weight?!

Then do the appropriate exercise to reduce your thighs.

really, did you just say your between 98-101 pounds. girl you don't need to lose anymore weight. i can see if you were 200 lbs, and overweight. but your not. this is the reason why i hate when skinny *kitten* people who weight around 100 pounds want to lose more weight.

This girl clearly smacks of disordered eating and/or body dysmorphia. This is really uncalled for.

I agree. That's a hideous comment.

OP, trade some of your cardio for lifting weights - and lift heavy - you will love it! You might have to add more calories and may maintain or even gain a couple of pounds - not a lot, but you will love how it enhances your overall shape!

I would recommend increasing the protein in your diet, and increasing your strength training. Weights, lounges, etc. I'm not saying discontinue or even reduce your cardio (that's up to you), but in my opinion, you want to tone more, so you need more muscle.

Think about INCREASING your calories, and, in a corresponding number of calories, adding weight-lifting. If you burn another 400 calories when you lift weights, for example, consider adding 400 calories of mostly protein to your diet that day.

Good Luck!

From your pics it seems to me like you need to tone. This means eating a bit more so your body can build some muscle. Don't do so much cardio cuz that will take away from your gains.

I know it's ****erintuitive but you should eat enough to build muscle, which may be more than what you're eating now. This will actually speed up your fat loss because your body burns more calories the more muscle you have.

SUMMARY:
-Build muscle by eating more and strength training
-Get rid of your cardio...It's pretty much useless. You can do some cardio during the week to keep your stamina up but overall it's counterproductive.

If you do that, you'll eventually lose the fat in your thighs and you'll get more toned, and defined legs and stomach and arms and everything else!

OP

You've stalled because your body isn't sure where to go from here. You're definitely not eating enough for your body to live off of and on top of that you're burning even more calories by being a cardio queen.

1. Lay off the cardio for a bit the weight might creep up but it's your body re-feeding itself. Poor thing's been starving.
2. PICK UP WEIGHTS (I cannot stress this enough. Pick up HEAVY weights. Pick them up and put them down. Compound Movements. THIS is absolutely necessary to increase muscle mass and lose body fat - hence the "TONED" appearance which I imagine is what you want)


Repeat step 2, 3 times a week.

I have been stuck at no weightloss for the last 6-7 months. I'm 5" and 98-101 lbs. I used to eat anywhere from 600-1200 cals with a negative net for 4 months. Now I switched to eating 1200 ( my bmr) and my net is about 900-400 calories. Nothing, my weight hasn't budged. I usually eat very clean but recently I just have gotten depressed and feel like I'm doing all this work for nothing. My exercise is insanity plus hula hoping & pilates. I get 8+ hours of sleep, and I also haven't lost any inches.

You have some lovely foods in your diet and Saturday is a good day for repeating what you are eating to bring you up with the calories.

You are eating a great amount of fruits and veggies, can you add some more protein???

If I was you I would increase the protein for sure, you need it to help with the exercise to help repair and build muscles?

Maybe you have reached a point where your body is happy with its weight and you are unhappy with your look?

So focus on eating a little more to reach your net goal and even go so far as to add more to that net goal with protein to accommodate the exercise?

Try going to hasfit.com to find some exercises to work the parts of your body that you are unhappy with?

But do not be afraid to eat more, food is not your enemy x

Hi.

When I first read your post I really hoped that this was a joke because I can't personally imaging anything under 110lbs healthy.

But I'm going to put aside my opinions and give you some advice. First off, enough with the cardio. I know this might seem weird but you need to trust me. Start educating yourself on weight lifting. That is what is going to take off the last 10lbs look (even though you'll probably gain weight because of muscle) and you'll get that lean, toned look. Cardio will just make you go in circles around your goal. Look into New Rules of Lifting for Women, Jamie Eason has some great advice, Erin Stern, or any other educated trainer on bodybuilding.com.

Trust me, it's the weight lifting you need.

Oh, when you do start lifting, you better be consuming 1500 + calories. Just saying.

Weight loss is not a physical challenge it's a MENTAL challenge. Don't take this the wrong way but if you freak out about eating 1500+ calories than 1) You need to reeducate yourself 2) You're mentally unhealthy (please don't take that the wrong way)
