That's the part I'm the MOST insecure about. If it won't get smaller in the next 2 months I'll just quit completely, at that point it's completely useless.
If you are losing weight consistently, you will lose fat. You don't say if you are overweight or just wanting to get to a lower weight within a healthy range, but the reality is fat comes off in a genetically determined pattern, so that when you lose weight it may not reduce the size of a particular body part until later in the process, as your fat may come off other places first.
Quitting completely because you're not getting what you want when you want sounds like self-sabotage.
im not overweight, not according to BMI at least. Its something around 22, I'm 173cm. I KNOW it's basically self sabotage but.. I just hate it so much. I can't wear anything nice because I feel so fat specifically because of my stomach. If it doesn't start getting smaller,, well I don't know. I will probably get surgery on it at some point. I just need to get rid of it. My body fat percentage is genuinely quite high, I've gotten the test done. I'm willing to do pretty much anything to lose the fat.jodienovell wrote: »TavistockToad wrote: »jodienovell wrote: »That's basically it.

So it has got smaller... just not as much smaller as you'd like.
You can't pick where the fat comes off, how tall are you and what's your goal weight?
If you quit, it definitely won't get any smaller...
173, 60kg. Or I try to keep it at 60. Truth be told I would love to be 50kg but I know it's too low, so if 60 succeeds I will probably go for 55
For anyone not used to metric (and for OP on the BMI number), OP is 5'9" and currently 132 lbs (which is a BMI of 19.4, not 22 -- i.e., lower end of healthy BMI for OP's height, not middle range), and OP would love to go for 110 lbs (BMI = 16.1, significantly underweight) but will probably go for 121 lbs (BMI = 17.8, slightly underweight).
Waist to height ratio is .44, i.e., already healthy.15 -

Are you doing any weight training? A lot of times losing weight just results in a smaller version of the original you. You can lose weight but not see a change in your body shape, especially if you're not doing any resistance-training, which can help reduce body fat without further weight reduction, and can make a difference in your shape. Do look into recomposition (reducing fat while maintaining weight, there are a number of excellent threads about it, just do a search), I think that's really what you are looking for.
You are setting yourself up for failure by having achieved a healthy body weight but continually setting yourself a lower goal so that your never get to experience your success. And potentially disordered eating and body dysmorphia issues.
I appreciate the advice and recomp seems to be the way to go. But I don't give a damn about potential disordered eating habits or other issues. Trust me, I've gone through that before and I'll rather suffer with those for the rest of my life than look like this.
Ok time for a reality check. If you care more about your looks than your health and wont pursue help for your body dysmorphia you should quit right now because you'll never be satisfied with your body.20 -

I believe 60kg is her goal weight, she is currently 65kg. I thought 173cm is just around 5'8?4 -

when you lower your carbs and sugar you lose water weight,not fat. fat is lost in a deficit. doesnt matter if you restrict carbs or not.you dont lose fat any faster,water weight yes.3 -

Sorry, you're right about her current weight. I was looking at the down-thread post listing her stats in which she says she her tries to "keep it at 60 kg" and forgot the recent jump mentioned in the OP. But she says in that down thread post essentially that her aspirational goal is 50 kg and she intends to go for 55 if she can make it to 60173, 60kg. Or I try to keep it at 60. Truth be told I would love to be 50kg but I know it's too low, so if 60 succeeds I will probably go for 55
And apparently I need to stop short-cutting the number I use for converting centimeters to inches from 2.54 to 2.5 so that I can do the conversion in my head -- I stupidly didn't realize that extra .04 would make a whole inch difference at human heights, but of course it does.
So, to fix my errors, at 173 cm/68 inches and CW (65 kg, or 143 lbs), BMI is 21.7, or "about 22," as OP said (healthy range).
At initial goal of 60 kg or 132 lbs, BMI would be 20 (still healthy range).
At secondary goal of 55 kg or 121 lbs, BMI would be 18.4 (borderline underweight).
At aspirational goal of 50 kg, or 110 lbs, which OP realizes is too low, BMI would be 16.7 (significantly underweight).

I got confused initially too. There are definitely some red flags here though, hopefully OP gets some help if she needs it7 -
What kind of shape is your belly? The shape can show the reason it's there. Fat storing in the belly can be both genetics and lifestyle. You can look up some images to see which you fit into.
A common one would be stress (adrenal belly).
When you are overstressed, the body stores fat mainly in the belly area to protect inner organs. (It mistakes the stress for constant danger). In fat loss, the body will shift fat from other areas over your belly (but it does still do some). Stress from daily life or stress from too much exercise can cause this. (Including stressing over why you still have a belly)
You can go on relaxing walks, just listening to nature and not music. Not straining yourself too much and resting afterwards. Get plenty of undisturbed sleep, at least 8 hours. Drink camomile tea. Meditation and breathing exercises. etc... There are also pills you can take. Magnesium supplements and cortisol control.
A lot of the time, those of us with adrenal bellies will find we still have bellies at a healthy weight. Further weight loss won't help. You got to sort out the stress on your adrenals. The root of the problem.
I've been working on this and lost inches faster from my waist than the weight loss was doing alone. So you can try this. Just see if your belly shape fits.19 -

Just keep eating in a deficit. It will probably be the last to go and first to go on9 -

The fact that you're saying that suggests you need to step away from the scales and the measuring tape and contact your treatment team again.
I never had a treatment team. My attention simply shifted away from my weight to other things due to a getting hit by a car so that was on my mind a lot. I was never treated nor was I ever underweight. I definitely did have issues though. And again, I appreciate it but I don't care.
This is sad.4 -
I would consider giving yourself more than 2 months to get your dream body -- try going for maybe 6 months before throwing in the towel. Even then, depending on how much you want to lose, you may need longer. Remember that a healthy rate of weight loss is about 2kg a month ... so give your body more time.
Also, your waist has gotten smaller, just not as small as you like yet. Keep plugging away and the numbers will keep dropping (to a certain point, of course). I would say to remain patient, cut down on sugar intake (added sugar that is, fruits are fine), and just keep doing what you're doing without resorting to crash dieting.0 -

I'm finnish, we have no personal doctors.[/quote]
I'm also Finnish. You may not have a "personal doctor", as in the same doctor that always sees you, but you are very lucky to have access to a doctor, and generally an extremely high standard of health care, free of charge. So please take advantage of it, and speak to a doctor about your feelings regarding your weight.
Otherwise, I second everything that @TavistockToad said. Weightlifting has been a game changer to me, in terms of changing my body shape as well as helping me emotionally.
Here's also a link to an organisation in Finland that provides information about disordered eating, including how to seek help. You say yourself that you've definitely had issues, and it does sound to me that they remain unresolved. All of this said with caring and respect from a countrywoman who's been where you are. Take care xx https://syomishairioliitto.fi/tietoa-syomishairioista26 -

My only advice is:
A) Consistency pays off. You’re body does not store fat equally, it will not lose it equally. So patience and consistency, it may take a month or two to see significant changes, but doing it healthy is the only way to ensure it stays off.
Start weight training. It’s been proven time and again that a woman, especially, can weigh the same but lose a LOT of fat from weight training. And that’s the key, is it not? Losing fat. If the scale stays the same, BUT you have a 6 pack, does the number on the scale matter? No.
So just stay focused. Start weight training and eating more protein to help get some good fat burning lean muscle, and I promise you will see results.6 -
I had exactly the same problem and it turned out to be hormone related:( Maybe get a check up?0
-
I had previously lost 80 lbs and it wasn't until around the last 20 lbs or so that I finally saw my waste getting smaller. I was thinking that I wasn't going to lose the belly fat. I store fat on my waist first and so I lost it last. Hang in there. Time, calorie deficit and patience will make a big difference.5

I haven't cut much off my waist going from 300-250.
It all went on between 220 and 250. Pretty sure that's where it's gonna come off.
Take other measurements other than just waist. Do hips, where you wear your pants, quads, calves, neck, forearms, chest, bicep flexed, and bicep unflexed. All of those give much clearer picture.
For instance, in the last month and a half I'm down 14lbs, I added an inch to my chest, my waist stayed the same, where I wear pants dropped an inch, my bicep grew half an inch flexed but is the same unflexed, my neck is up almost half an inch (yay for heavy farmers walks) and my quads lost an inch.
There's a lot more to all this than one measurment.1 -
I don't know what to think of some responses...whether someone really believes in the nonsense he/she types or whether the nonsense is typed for shock value to elicit a response (usually from a gross misinterpretation or something taken waaay out of context)1

Does 'pretty much anything' include being patient and continuing to lose weight safely and naturally until your genetics dictate that the fat deposits in waist begin to reduce?11 -
First, one has to be in a mental state where they can objectively evaluate the state of their health and body. Then they have to have fat available to be lost. Then we can all discuss how to best go along losing it.
By the sounds of it, the OP is in a position where worrying about her waist fat may be far from the best thing for her to be doing.
Sincerely, best of luck, and I hope you follow up on the suggestions of your compatriot!3
