Please don't get me wrong. I am not obese......but I am not in the shape I want to be in. I have trained constantly for the last two months. Followed a strict clean eating diet plan and totally reduced my alcohol intake. I have been taken clen tablets before exercising on a 8 week cycle. Until I broke my toes the other day I was muay thai fighting every other day and swimming every day.
And I have lost nothing. I don't even feel like I look different.
I am seriously considering lipo to get rid of the last little bits of fat on my stomach.
Please does anyone have any suggestions I could literally cry this morning.

Diet pills don't work, but a caloric deficit does. Have you been weighing and logging all of your foods? And don't cry, you can do this!0

The last few pounds take a lot of patience, dedication and accurate calorie counting.0

I agree. I've had to learn to have patience getting these last few kilos off.queenliz99 wrote: »The last few pounds take a lot of patience, dedication and accurate calorie counting.

i'd recommend weighing out your portions.....it could be you're under estimating what you're actually consuming.....i know i didn't start dropping the weight until i got the digital kitchen scale...lol. it made me think too.......damn if i eat this, that means i gotta weigh it first.....lol. mind control haha..0

Strict clean eating, daily exercise and no alcohol are all valid choices if they're the ones you want to make... but none of them will cause you to lose weight.
To lose weight, you have to eat at a calorie deficit, i.e. eat fewer calories than you burn.
Count your calories. It doesn't matter how "clean" you eat if you eat too much of it.0 -
I honestly am eating a calorie deficit every day. I am not even cheating the system. I also work out and use fit bit. Is lipo a really bad option do you think? Its really getting me down.0
-
Have you considered strength training? Honestly, it sounds like what you want at this point is body recomposition, not to lose more weight.0

The last few pounds are very difficult for many people simply because many people are sloppy at calorie counting.
As you get down to the last few pounds to lose your deficit should only be 250 or so calories a day. And let's face it , most people are not that precise at weighing, use bad data, and slack off on logging. On the flip side, unless you have a consistent regiment to weigh yourself it is easy to not see a 1/2 lb a week loss on the scale.0 -

Yes! Get started (doing what you can until your toes heal) and be consistent. It makes a huge difference. Honestly, I thought I'd be a "good candidate" for lipo several years ago because I was at a good weight, working out actively, etc., but I had little pockets of fat on the outside of each of my thighs. I HATED that I was working so hard and yet still hated to wear shorts. Then, I finally discovered lifting and have been doing it for a couple of years now. Those little fat pockets are GONE and I wear shorts proudly. Just give it a chance before taking any drastic surgical measures.0 -

Only you can answer that for you.

People who do lipo frequently find the fat pops back up in other, weird, locations if they ever gain weight again, because the fat cells were removed rom wherever you get the lipo. Personally, I would not be ok with that liklihood. So if I get lipo on my thighs, what if it pops up on my neck if I gain weight in the future?I honestly am eating a calorie deficit every day.

Everyone has choices to make, but to me, I'd rather take my time, do the work and be patient. 2 months is not a long time.

Surgery is rarely a good option.
For some people -- those disfigured in accidents, with congenital defects, or those addressing specific medical problems -- it can be a godsend. But for MOST people doing plastic surgery for vanity purposes, their goals would be better accomplished through diet and exercise.
There aren't any shortcuts in life.0 -
Clenbuterol? Seriously?0

She might as well go with lipo and screw herself up even more. Illegal drugs don't seem to bother her so why not?0

I looked at your photos, no doctor in their right mind would do lipo on you. You look great, maybe you have a body image problem.

Clenbuterol? Seriously?
I was wondering what that was.
OP, I suggest consulting a mental health professional about the possibility that you may have some body dysmorphia. You are using extreme measures like dangerous drugs and potentially surgery for what appears to be a miniscule issue. It's concerning.0 -
It is a drug used to treat asthma in a couple of countries but in general it is banned. It has a side effect of drastically speeding up metabolism. A number of pro cyclists were popped for using it to drop weight. It is a banned substance in ALL athletic competition and not legally prescribed for asthma in all but a couple of countries.

Actually, I think it's only legal for asthma in Bulgaria and China. It's not legal in the US at all, according to Wikipedia:
Clenbuterol is not an ingredient of any therapeutic drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration[1] and is now banned for IOC-tested athletes.[2] In the US, administration of clenbuterol to any animal that could be used as food for human consumption is banned by the FDA.[3]
Clenbuterol is a therapeutic drug for asthma, approved for human use in some countries in Europe (Bulgaria) and Asia (China).

I think there may be a body image problem here? Clen is not the right thing to be taking either.0

The fat ALWAYS returns (according to studies). If you want to move fat from where it is to some other random part of your body then lipo might be for you. Of course then the OP will be back here in a year complaining about fat thighs or butt or neck or ........

Oh, well, that's even worse! Thank you for the much more thorough information. I appreciate you taking the time to find this and share it.0 -
Yesterday the OP claimed she just started Phentermine ... at the beginning of the month she wanted to lose 3 pounds per week to get to her goal ... that coupled with the details in this thread reveal a very unhealthy approach to weight loss. When she progresses past looking for the shortcuts and quick fixes and wants to do things in a sensible way, perhaps she'll get where she wants to be.0

Did everyone miss that the OP is taking clen? Unless things have changed around here, I'm pretty sure posting about taking illegal drugs/supplements is not allowed on the boards.l0
