EDIT- I a not about the scale! I am only only about the areas!! only arm and hips! exercise them daily for 30min! Agin, not a scale is my goal but areas, okey?
I know there are going to be comments that this is not healthy etc. but this is not the point! I am 158 and got 50kg which is absolutely healthy and normal weight but I do struggle with self acceptance. I am trying to lose since May. It go down do 47, next day to be 50 again. I am exercising, eating healthy. I totally ditched white bread& potatoes. I have pretty bad ''love handles'' or whatever the area is called and fatty arms. No exercise or diet is helping to get rid of it. even if one week I am happy the next it all comes back! I know for some people I am ok, but I can't accept that. I feel like a little fatty thing on the beach. I am comparing myself to other all the time.Whatever anyone says- is just doesn't wok. Is inside my head. People who says im ok only just p*** me off because I know how I look like. There is nothing I can do.
How come girls are on diet for 2 months and lose weight and I cant work areas since May??
I do strenght exrecise 30min a day 2-3 times a week and walk to work fast 5km a day.
I cant d anymore exercise neither eat less. If i go on strict diet I do for 2 weeks, im miserable & hungry. If I eat normal ( heatlhy porrigge, fruits veg - no fasts food, smoothies & water) im feeling ok, but I look bloated no matter what!
I geunine dont have time to exercise everyday day as I work 12h a day and im tired! I also had bad hand breakge and I cant lift heavy.
I dont want to ''just accept myself'' and live with fat hips and big arms! It looks aweful!
I wear size 6 tops and 8 trousers. My fat & belly sticked out of trousers always!! and top with long sleeve are very tight. If i buy size bigger trousers then fall off or top look ''to big'' but arm wis is ok.
I am thining to cancel my holiday as i cant stand the fact that i tried for soo many months and i still have fat around my belly & hips.
I know some of you will say perfect.. but funny enough... only girls who are 'bigger'' than me saying im ok, and slimmer girls agree.
I dont want to accept my fat, its not looking good! if you look at me you ''can tell i dont exercise'' but i do exercise!
You can abuse me now. yes im stupid, role models all that... but why on earth no one want to accept the fact I just want to have healthy skinny body?? how come the fitness girls can do and this is acceptable but with normal girl it ''must be something wrong with her''??
What do you do for 12 hrs a day?
Can you exercise during your lunch hour?
Can you try to exercise during your shift?
I get that your tired after a 12 hour shift, who wouldn't be.. can you try P90X, or Insanity for 30-45min a day?

in my experience, when people are "trying everything" they tend to lack consistency over time and patience...all of which are requisites.
a fitness body doesn't come from working out for a couple of months and dieting...it is a bi-product of living that lifestyle over time...three months is nothing.
that made me cry... so..now i need 10 yhears to lose weight, no hope for me?
Nobody can put a clear timeline on what you can achieve. 3 months can make a massive difference, particularly with you being not being over weight to start with. I lost 49 pounds of fat in the last 5 months and put 7 pounds of muscle on. You just need to focus on resistance training, keep doing some cardio, and getting a clean diet. In 3 months you could have made a massive change
I could have but it didnt change a single 1cm!! I am still looking same as I started 4 months ago...0 -

What WBB55 is trying to tell you is that if your goal is to look better rather than see a specific scale number, then you need to look into weight lifting (recomposition). If you are doing recomp, the scale won't tell you much of anything, since it may not change at all even though you have clearly changed your body composition.
Also, I don't understand why you're preemptively angry with everyone. You got one post making a suggestion to help you get to your goals and you reacted really negatively to it.0 -
What do you do for work? Is there a way you could add body weight exercises into your day?
Where I work we have a really big ladies toilet/changing room thing and throughout the day I'll do some bodyweight stuff. Could you go on your days off?
Do you have the money to have some personal training sessions? As if you train with someone good they should be able to work round your broken hand and help work up to heavier weights.0 -

Nobody can put a clear timeline on what you can achieve. 3 months can make a massive difference, particularly with you being not being over weight to start with. I lost 49 pounds of fat in the last 5 months and put 7 pounds of muscle on. You just need to focus on resistance training, keep doing some cardio, and getting a clean diet.

Are you counting calories?
I used to.. but stopped. Eat pretty much the same as I was sticking to 1200calories a day0 -
Did a doctor tell you that you can't lift?
I exploded my wrist in a motorcycle accident and I can lift. Hell, my hand is now at an angle to my arm because my wrist was so messed up and I can lift.0 -

You can recomp with a hand injury. Recomping to add muscle to your core, legs, shoulders and back will help you achieve what you are saying you want. Get a good trainer to help you with the kinds of things you can do that won't require stress on your hand. I guarantee they can set up a progressive training plan that will help you on the path towards improving your overall body fat percentage.0 -

Sorry, it was meant to read as, 'in 3 months you can make a massive change' .... Just class them last 4 months as trial and error. Do some research, find something which works and fits you, nail down your blue print for success and smash it

I work in an office...and I do body weight exercises every time I use the restroom... I started out doing modified push-ups off the handicap bar until I could do unmodified...and lunges/squats can be done nearly anywhere...15 reps per leg with a 100 oz of daily water intake...it adds up quick!

Strong curves is a great program. There's a section for at home lower body work out and I'm pretty sure it doesn't use any wrists. I've seen great results in building my booty with it. Recomposition is amazing0
