    First of all, you don't need to lose weight. Second, you talk only in general terms about your eating? Do you know how many calories that adds up to? Do you log accurately and completely?

    It's been 8 weeks and I've been seeing no results. Strength training and HIIT and cardio, I eat healthy 75% of the time.i can eat like a pig and not gain any weight but when I restrict myself and exercise I don't lose weight in my stomach! My BFP (body fat)def went down but how come I don't see it in the mirror? 3am60bx84jwn.jpg

    I don't think I'm fat it's just annoying how it's not proportionate to my body. But thank you.

    Those may be bikini bottoms, but those tops are bras, don't lie.

    C'mon, people, this is a nearly porno advertisement. I couldn't click "flag" because he/she managed to cover it up.

    Managed...? Lol it's a bikini... I don't see any porno here. I'm just asking for advice on my body, if you have a problem simply leave :)

    This? Honestly? Seems like one of those "fishing" threads. "Look at me in a bikini I look so ugly LoLz, so yeah what can I do until everyone tells me I'm perfect"

    This is just my opinion, of course But I really can't stand it when people say stuff such as this or "I'm 5'7 and weigh 123 lbs how can I get off my last 15 lbs in a month don't laugh I know I'm ugly"

    People need to be in a healthy mental relationship with their bodies. At my heaviest, and when I get to my thinnest....I love me!

    sigh. I never said I don't love myself. I'm saying I'm frustrated that I haven't lost anything, hence showing my before and after pictures... I don't see how that's fishing for compliments.

    Unfortunately, you don't get to tell your body where you're going to lose fat. Wouldn't life be grand if you could? - fat off the stomached first but, for the love of God, none off the boobs!

    For a lot of us, stomach fat is the last to go. Keep doing what you're doing, and have patience. In the mean time, you're frankly already rocking that bikini. All you need is some confidence to go with it.

    Wow..I didnt see her call herself ugly or fish for compliments...just a straight-forward asking what to do about her concerns.

    I mean, maybe Im just giving benefit of a doubt here, but I remember when I was younger... I was trying to lose weight and felt like my stomach was too big, soft, not toned enough..always trying to do something about it.

    Now I look back at those times...and WISH I had that body! On reflection, I looked amazing! But thats something I can only see now, having gained as much weight as I have. Perception counts for *a lot*.

    Anyway, seems to me that its not a matter of weight, but a matter of needing to hit the weights and form some muscle definition so that your body becomes firmer and looks sleeker. I don't see fat as the issue, because you barely have any there...but muscle tone as what you need to work on.

    Thank you. I really appreciate you going beyond the bikini photos and actually answering my question. Quite annoying how some people can take the time to hate and judge, meanwhile I'm just asking a question... Anyway I think you might be right. Perception does count a lot and I've heard from a couple of people to tighten my ab area by improving my muscle. :)so I will try that!

    I didn't see anyone hating on you, just people who may be thinking you're being too harsh with yourself or concerned you have body image issues. That's not bad.

    I agree with others- I don't think you need to lose weight. Maybe forget about trying to 'diet' altogether and just eat healthily when you are actually hungry

    Yeah no prob...Ive been there so I know. When my stomach became a problem to me, is when I got soft, after I was out of the military. I had never used weights or weight machines before so was intimidated. So I got a personal trainer for 3 sessions, just enough to lay out a plan for me, and show me the correct way to use the machines. I did great with that for awhile, but then lost motivation and stopped going.

    This time around, I will give it another go once I am closer to my goal weight..because I know, even when Im thin, I look wonky when my body is too soft. I just need to build up my muscle definition and it seems to me thats where youre at now.

    OP, while you don't need to lose any weight, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to. Some people on here act as though once you BMI is in a generally healthy range it's criminal to want to lose additional weight. As some others have suggested, it might be a good idea for you to tighten up your logging and just give it time. It doesn't look like you have much to lose, so be patient. Good luck.

    Obviously she doesn't need to lose weight but she wants too.. do you do any kind of strength training because it looks like you could use some extra muscle lol. Do some core training for 15 mins 2 or 3 times a week and I bet your stomach will start to get toned. Also you have to be way more consistent.. stop doing cheat meals just eat healthy and when you want something unhealthy just have a small portion every once in a while. Stop going out to eat and prepare your own meals so you can actual track what your eating.. that's my advice up to you if you want to follow it.

    I don't think you need to lose weight. Maybe you should lift heavier weights and do it 3-4 sets of 15 each :)
