edited February 16 in Fitness and Exercise
I started my journey with MFP after going from 215 to 190 and plateauing. I am currently 178 (which i am not happy at) but i have dropped in shirt sizes from XL to L and pants from size 16 to 10-12 . I understand that with strength training (crossfit) 3 days a week and cardio (treadmill & elliptical) 2 days a week it is going to take time to get to 150. I am getting a little frustrated with why my belly is saggy and being stubborn to lose. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as exercises I should try and do I need to change my rotation?

    u may need to eat a bit more about 1600ish to 1700ish. i cant see your diary but from your previous post you are eating 1500ish and below.
    with 3x/week crossfit and 2x/week cardio, you figure you should be losing weight. ikr!

    try to set your macros
    Carbs - 180... try not to go over on carbs
    Protein - 120...you can eat more ptotein
    Fats - 60.... try not to go over on fat
    Fiber - 30to38

    try to eat 1600ish to 1700ish 5-6x/week
    then on weekends, you can eat up to 2000ish when eating out with family or friends or celebrating a feast/holiday etc...

    OK thank you for the response and great ideas. I can totally see the difference with my body, its just the numbers are not moving anymore, and it seems like my stomach isn't getting flatter.

    Thank you so much, I will definitely check out the forum. I will take any advice I can get. After having 3 children, I just hope that that my stomach isnt a loss.

    as you get closer to your goal, patience is your friend. With your strength training your belly will flatten up overtime. just keep pushing and dont give up.
