in Health and Weight Loss
I'm 5'1 115 lbs I know I don't weigh a lot but I also know I have to much fat. I'm doing t25 5 days a week for cardio and I try and lift at least 3 days a week. I'm pretty loss in how to achieve my goal of losing body fat. I'm to the point where I'm considering lipo/tummy tuck cuz I'm not planning on having anymore babies anyway. Any tips on how I can lower my body fat is welcomed.

    Weigh, measure, and track every single thing that goes into your mouth.

    Exercise is great, eating "healthy" foods is great, but if you're not eating at a deficit, you're not going to lose body fat.

    Do you suggest more protein? I'm on a 1430 cal diet and track my macros right now.

    Are you sure that your self-perception (as too "fat") is accurate? We can be very self-critical! What does your doctor say?

    Since you're technically within a theoretically healthy weight range currently, you might want to consider recomposition. This is a great thread about it:

    This!
    And how long have you been at it?
