Posts: 1
I'm 111 lbs @ 5'2 I'm vegan and eat pretty clean most of the time... I've lost most of stomach fat and my stomach is now flat and I've lost 17 lbs since I have started working out, but my waist is still like 27 ... it doesn't shrink!!! I don't know if it's okay to lose more weight, I think I'm fine now but I just want my waist to be smaller.... I know there are people that are 6ft tall with 24 in waists, why can't my waist be smaller ??? please help , thank you :-)

@Lurod9,
It's actually quite interesting that you put this post up. We have a similar diet (except I've added fish), we are close to the same height and we have the same waist measurements. I'm starting to think there's a relationship to the waistline and SOY. I could be wrong but I've read quite a bit online about a connection to it and belly fat. I'm committed to try to loose two more inches around the middle w/in the next few weeks/months! Trying something a little different that COULD be the (simplest) answer:
1. A stronger focus on cardio - since it burns the most calories
2. A heavy 3x's per week focus on ab workouts
3. Reduction of soy intake
4. A focus on dark leafy greens in each meal
5. Vegan protein shakes, daily (soy free of course)
Anyway, we'll see..0 -
What was the smallest your waist was in your adult life? Because different people have different frame structures. Not everyone can have a super small waist.
Heavy lifting will probably help if it is a body composition issue. Is there extra fat on your mid section or do you just have a different frame/body shape?
Appreciate what you have and don't try to be something you are not.0 -
