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

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.

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.

Being at a "healthy weight" on paper does not mean she has no fat to lose. I'm 5'5" and 127 lbs. With my clothes on, I look thin. With my clothes off, I have quite a bit of fat on my body. Fat that makes me feel bad about myself. Fat that I want to lose to be healthy and feel good about myself. So don't assume that just because you know her height and weight that she doesn't have fat to lose. She did not say that she was fat, she said she HAS fat she wants to lose! Us "healthy weight" people are allowed to feel bad about our bodies and want to change them too! Some people on this board jump down your throat for no reason, it's disgusting. As for the original question, I'm trying to figure all that out right now too. I'm going to start New Rules Of Lifting For Women next week with a bit of cardio added in and i'm going to eat at maintenance so we'll see if that helps! Good luck to you, I hope you are able to figure things out!

I don't think people are trying to be mean..but a really high percentage of people here have 50-200 pounds to lose. So when someone comes on crying and calling themselves disgusting because they can't get that last 10 pounds off, sorry but a lot of us can't empathize.

I feel bad for the people crying about "why does she only get to have 10lbs to lose and I have to lose 50lbs" Blah blah blah. I don't need anybody's empathy - just advice. Thanks and thank you!

Whoah! You sound awfully picky about what you consider healthy. There are no bad foods, just bad diets.

Definitely do not agree with this...there are alot of bad foods...especially processed ones. Your body is what you make it...you are what you eat. Consume foods that are closest to nature and reap the rewards....Lean meats like turkey chop meat and chicken breast, healthy fats like olive oil nuts and avocado, healthy carbs to fuel your workouts as in sweet pototo(low GI index) and brown rice...oats...mix with fruit.

I am sorry, I got the wrong person. I though I was replying to the person who said this - "I don't think people are trying to be mean..but a really high percentage of people here have 50-200 pounds to lose.

So you hunt your own turkey and chicken? You grow your own potatoes and press your own olive oil? Sorry, but if you buy them at the store, they're processed.

And brown rice is just plain gross. Eww.

It's called fresh and easy and whole food stores and farmer's markets, so you don't have to hunt your own turkey duh! Avoid saturated fats, genetically modified foods, fillers, artificial flavors ect. I'm sorry but this post was pretty Ignorant. :noway:

Agree! And my god, leave this poor girl alone. She asked for advice and people attack her because she doesn't have enough weight to lose??? We all have our own insecurities, and body issues. I thought that is why we are all here....
