    Judging by your pictures and ticker you have nothing to lose and your body probably knows that!

    Lol what magically happens at 8st is that I feel better and look better ....

    nope... eating what you're eating and doing a load of cardio wont make you look better... smaller maybe, but still squidgy and soft.

    Also to add, you will still lose weight if you keep at it with how you're going. You may even reach your goal weight, but it will take a long time, and there's a high chance you won't look healthy at all. And once you reach your goal weight, and you return to a maintenance normal diet, guess what happens. You're body doesn't know what to the with the extra calories you're given it because it's been surviving on 1200 calories a day and it'll store it as fat, and you have to do it all over again.

    Are you eating at a calorie deficit? I can't see anything logged...

    Fanny, I am 5ft2 as well and you are actually at my goal weigth.
    I attained it 2 years ago, and it was the weight when people (apart from each other), were starting to show concern about my weight loss.
    However, even at that weight, I was still showing a belly. And that was true, even in my twenties, before having kids, and weighing less than your goal of 8 stones.

    This time around, I want to reach that weight again, as it is my all-time feelgood weight, no matter what anyone says, but I will need to get into body recomposition when I do, so that I actually look the part.

    I have a feeling our overall goals are similar, but perhaps for you as well, at this weight, a further decrease on the scale should not be your goal, but a tightening of your body.

    You will find lots of threads with very wise people here, and with valuable advise on how to go about it.
    Also, you have a PT, he will know what to do.

    Good luck, and please keep your fingers crossed that I am where you are now, by the end of this year!
