Why in the hell won't my fat burn!!!!!!!!!

I have freaking flubber all over my body!!!! Around my belly, top of legs, Back flap over my bra! I am eating 1500cals a day. Doing cardio 3 times a week and heavy weight lifting 3 times a week. Nothing seems to be working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My thyroid is under control, my diabetes type 1 is also under control so WTH?????????????????????????????????? Is it because I gained this fat while pregnant??? But then my son is gonna be 1 this Januray. I heard a woman should be able to have all the preggo weight off my 9mo post preg. Why NOT ME????

If it's possible, trying working out 4-5 days a week. Even jus for 30 minutes. And like you said, you always eat under 1,500 calories, but are the things you eating actually healthy?

So, I hate to break it to you, but about, 90% of what you are eating I wouldn't call healthy?

Yes, you do have fruit. But where is your lean protein? You aren't eating any vegetables, and what little protein you do have is processed and pumped full of sodium.

ETA-- the fats in your diet are also mostly partially hydrogenated (ie, the margarine). I really believe that body comp is 3/4 because of what you eat (if not more), so in order to develop more muscle tone you are going to need to eat more lean protein, less processed carbohydrates, and replace the trans fats with stuff like avocado, olive oil, and nuts.

Took a peak at your diary. While everyone's body is different, I would recommend to keep your daily calories at 1,300 to 1,400 a day and for just a week, try not doing a PM Snack and keep your dinner calories to about 300 and eat more in the morning and at lunch. If at all possible, try eating your dinner early. This has worked really well for me, maybe it will work for you? Give it a shot for a week...

You seem to be eating a lot of simple carbohydrates and not very much protein. Would focus on eating more lean, high quality protein, and less simple carbs. You should be aiming for about 1 gram of protein per lb of lean body mass (e.g. I have 29% body fat at 140 lbs, thus my LBM is about 99, so I aim for about that much lean protein a day - you can find calculators as an estimate online). Though it is calories in/calories out to a certain extent, eating a good amount of lean protein will result in improving body composition as opposed to eating the same amount of calories with a low ratio of protein.

As for the carbs, one way to improve that would perhaps be in the morning instead of an english muffin or cereal, have rolled oats instead to get minimally processed complex carbs instead of the simple carbs english muffins and processed cereal has. Also, many more vegetables. Lots and lots of vegetables.

Also, make sure you're eating enough. Figuring out your BMR and TDEE and eating for your caloric needs activity level will give you the best results, though not necessarily the fastest (which is not better). In other words, don't drop your calorie intake because you're not losing without figuring out what your metabolic needs are first. All the best to you!

Just took a quick look at you diary...the fruit is great, but you also have a lot of simple sugars/simple carbs there as well...these go straight to fat storage. What kinds of fats are you eating? There are good fats and bad fats...up the good fats and try to avoid or limit trans fats altogether....look for a margarine that doesn't have hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated oils. Keep your saturated fats in check as well. Your macro settings also seem to have you pretty low on the protein. Maybe try adjusting your macros for less carbohydrates and up the lean protein and healthy fats. Try to make most of your carbs of the complex kind...and more veggies.

Thanks for the info! Im 5'9" and currently 155lbs. I have been on MFP for about a month and a half but I've been trying to lose this disgusting weight since I gave birth last January.

You are in the normal range for your BMI, and what you are talking about is likely loose skin. please don't call your weight disgusting when you are clearly at a healthy weight, its ridiculous and borderline offensive to those who have legitimate weight to lose.

I would just keep doing what your doing, and be PATIENT, and KIND to yourself.

Have you tried setting your macros to 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat?

I disagree, I think overall this she's eating healthy. Remember, yogurt has a lot of protein and she eats one almost every day. She also eats a lot of fruit and usually has some lean meats as well.

I'm stumped.

Women are empathizing, men are trying to fix.

All of the advice you are getting about what you are eating is irrelevant to your post. If you aren't losing weight over a long period of time then it's probably because you are not burning more than you are consuming. Find the problem and fix it. Maybe you aren't logging everything you eat accurately? Maybe you should stop eating back exercise calories? Ignore the broscience people, just figure out why you aren't burning more than you are consuming.

This.

Agree - there is something wrong with your math or weight loss equation.

Have you figured out your BMR and TDEE?
