Hey guys,
I'm 172-3 cm, 65kg and of slim build. I've always found it hard to stick to fitness/diet plans because while I'm not where I want to be I'm at a good enough level that it's very easy for me to say "ugh why am I even doing this" instead of pushing on when things get hard.
I'm super open to tips for weight loss/toning for someone who doesn't have a lot of weight to lose, as I find that while my bigger friends drop kg's fast it always takes me ages. Also anyone just in the same boat!

I'm very similar! I'm not massive, but not where I used to be!
I'll add you! Where are you based?1 -
Same boat! Not a lot to lose anymore and the slow results are hard.0

You're right at the middle of a healthy BMI, so it will take some time compared to those who have more to lose. Here, you have two options:
-a small calorie deficit (around 1/4 of a kg per week, or even less) along with a good progressive lifting program (which you can research here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you)
-a body recomposition, where you eat at maintenance combined with the same lifting program0 -
