If you're looking for something simple I like to grab a rotisserie chicken and a bag of microwave steam fresh veggies. Low calorie , simple , and yummy!

HMMM , I think its possible. I know for weight loss all you need is to burn more calories than you take in. I do not think its outside the realm of possibilities for there to be things we don't know or things we think we know but are actually incorrect.

Don't get the pear joke- I don't think I'm spelling it incorrectly

I figured , Just curious if there was some truth in it. Like maybe people eating in a surplus who are pear shaped eat less refined carbs and apples just cant get enough sugar lol. I guess I was hoping since I am an apple and still have a huge gut 54lbs later. :neutral:

I eat about 1200 calories a day- will admit I don't measure my food with a scale but it has worked fine thus far. I typically skip breakfast and opt for black coffee , if I'm super hungry I will have a piece of fruit. Lunch is usually a 300-400 frozen meal or soup from a local restaurant. I head to the gym after work so I…

OMG TWIX ICE CREAM BARS ARE LIFE ! They taste as though they were crafted in the hands of baby angels!

I've noticed that some of the new non-dairy Ice creams are about 2/3rd of the calories of the dairy counterparts. Has anyone tried those?

Im 5'1 SW 198 CW 144 GW 130-120

I'm 5'1 and started at 198lbs it took about 25-30 lbs before anyone mentioned it and then they wouldn't shut up about it. I know that gets on some peoples nerves but I LOVED it, guess I'm a little self absorbed lol.

I drink my coffee black these days , after the first week I have learned to enjoy it that way. Creamer/sugar are just a waste of calories. To me I might as well drink pop or juice at that point, if im drinking calories better believe they contain alcohol.

Being short definitely sucks for weight loss. I know that I can feel full on less calories than a tall person so I'm not upset with that at all. Im sure 1600 calories seems just as small to a 5'6 women as 1200 feels to me. The part I can not stand is having such a small BMR /TDEE to cut from. I burn less exercising as well…

SW 198 CW 144 GW 130

I'm 5'1 and started at 198 (currently 144) I ate 1200 the whole time. After the initial adjustment I was never overly hungry and never ate my exercise calories back. Being a 5'1 female of a moderate weight I have an extremely low BMR I only burn around 260 calories through 30 minutes of intense cardio. I'm not sure of your…

I TRY to do cardio a minimum of 30 minutes 3 times a week. I just hate excercise sooo much lol.

I am pretty much eating at maintenance when I fall off the wagon. I usually gain a few pounds of water weight im assuming because i eat and drink alot of proccessed food items. I could try it but I think I need to focus on loosing. Its slowed down alot and i cant tell if its from my lack of commitment or because i am at a…

Lol thank you!!!!

Thanks for the supports everyone! Maybe I will try strength training , I keep hearing it but it hinestly terrifies me back as I have no clue what I'm doing .

Thanks for the advice, thats what I was fearing

Thanks, do you think I would have to go to the lower end of a healthy Bmi to get a flatter stomach. I know it will never be flat but just a slight chub would be fine

I uploaded a few pics so you can see what I'm talking about and to brag a little lol. Anyhow the first pic with the side view is current.

Yes, I've lost weight in my face, neck, legs, ankles, thighs, feet , arms , wrist ,breast pretty much anywhere but my mid section. I'm getting concerned I look weird with my legs and boobs shrinking and my stomach staying exactly the same.

Thanks for the tip! I will start measuring that are too, like you though I'm just really concerned with seeing the number change regardless of the spot I'm measuring!

Yes from march 7th to September 23. I actually got off track and didn't loose a single pound one month so it may be possible in 6 months

Thanks , for all the support! I am measuring at the largest point however the narrowest is only a few less.

Wow that's crazy! Thanks everyone

I always feel so lost in the weight room, I will have to look up some more info and give it a shot. I was exercising heavily in the beginning and missed a work out that turned into never working out agajn. Especially when I still lost weight. Anyway I will give it a shot I know body recomp can do alot. Thanks !

I am open to suggestions, maybe something to reduce bloating. Mostly looking to see what people my height weight and shape look like or what weight their stomach flattened out. Not looking to be attacked.

You can add me, I am 5'1 43 lbs down and 25 to go to my goal of 130
