Hi everyone. I'm a 5. 6", 25 year old female who is trying to reach her goal weight of 60KG. I currently fluctuate between 66-67 kg. I need some tips as I am not sure where I am going wrong. I never eat processed foods, I am a gluten free vegetarian and have been for 7 years. I also work out anywhere between 2-3 times a week. My major downfall is alcohol but I do try and keep this to a minimum. At the moment I consume anywhere between 1200-1500 calories a day depending on my exercise.
All tips, experiences and general knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like you need a 'system reset'.

    Eat your BMR calories for a whole week usually between 1500 and 2000 depending on your activity level, chillout and don't do any crazy workouts and then kick start the system with your current 1200-1500 and 3 times per week workout (add another 5 minutes here or there in your workout)

    It worked for me. Hope it works for you too. x

    yeah I'd try mixing it up, eat a bit more for a few days, throw in some extra cardio, or maybe start weight training. And lots of water!
  • Thanks guys, its just so hard when its the last few KG. Doesn't fall off like the rest. I dont think I have been drinking enough water and I will defo do some weight training and see what happens.
    Cheers
