I have been stuck on 117 pounds for the longest time!!! I have tried changing my workout, my diet and I am getting increasingly frustrated. I have measured my inches and I am stuck. I am a short girl and I still have fat on my fat thighs and a big roll of back fat.
Please help!!!

    What exactly is your "new diet"? How long since you've lost? How tall are you? How many calories do you eat? burn?
    You've not given a lot of detail...

    Your profile says that you used to weigh over 220 pounds. Excellent weight loss! Unfortunately, losing over 100 pounds likely left you with excess skin. That may be what you are noticing on your back and thighs, rather than just having excess fat there. If that's the case, that skin may never tighten up all the way.

    117 may just be the weight your body wants to maintain. I don't know your height but that sounds like a very healthy weight to me.

    In your profile photos you look fine.
    In your 'about me' you say you wanted to be 123 lb. Now you're annoyed that you're below that??
    How tall are you?
    Have you considered focussing on weightlifting, so you'll be trimmer & stronger & look awesome,
    even if you don't lose any more weight? (Or you might even gain some, very slowly, if you're building
    muscle, which takes a lot of work for women.)

    Thank you so much! Yes I did lose the weight and since it took me almost 2 years, I dont have that much loose skin. But my back fat is stubborn and stubborn and stubborn.
    I am 5'2" and I am not too bothered about the number except that something should happen with my new diet.
    I have started the following:
    Pre workout: Apple and water
    Post workout Breakfast: Protein Shake, 3 egg whites, high fibre breakfast (whole wheat bread, veggies, fruits, oatmeals)
    Snack 1: Salad with cottage cheese
    Lunch: Whole wheat sandwich, veggies, low fat yoghurt or any dish within my calorie limit.
    Snack 2: Protein shake, fruits
    Dinner: Chicken breast or any lean meat, veggies, banana

    Workout: 20-30 mins cardio
    45 mins strength training
