Girl, you look fabulous. Did you count your calories? I am someone that restricts to 1200 calories & that's always hated exercise up until recently. Now, I feel like I need it in my life. It's therapeutic to me. Many people don't believe that weight loss is 80% diet & 20% exercise. It's very easy to lose weight without…

Hey OP, I would just recommend more cardio. I learned to jog/run through the Couch 2 5 K running program and it has really efficiently made me lose fat, including my belly fat. Unfortunately, walking is not got exactly gonna melt the fat really fast. I recommend more intense cardio. & a little bit of strength training (1-2…

Hi OP, You might not be interested, but for a tasty lunch (not salad or soup), I advocate a sandwich. I eat a chicken salad sandwich on a daily basis and it really fills me up. It consists of 2 medium slices of wholemeal bread, 10g of Flora light butter between the bread, 2 thick slices of chicken, 30g of lettuce and 40g…

To be honest, for weight loss like that, it's two things. Low calorie diet and cardio. Honestly, people really want to lose weight and they'll be doing lots of strength training, yes, it's good, but is it really gonna help you drop pounds on the scale? No. I eat 1200 calories a day and burn a minimum of 300 calories a day,…

Okay, well I lost 30lbs in 3 months & I ALWAYS ate late at night (bad habit) so I think we can safely rule out weight loss. Eating late doesn't affect weight loss, it's just not good. All that fat can't be burned because you're going sleep. I would maybe an apple and orange before bed. That's not too bad, so you can try…

Hey guys, I also eat 1200 calories a day & burn a minimum of 300 calories a day. I don't really eat back my exercise calories, but I don't feel I need to. I've been losing around 3lbs a week (last week I lost 4lbs

I think drinking lemon water helps with weight loss. Everyone here is saying it's just calories, but I don't feel that's strictly true. I think there are a combination of things that have to be taken into account for optimal weight loss. First, calories, how much you are eating on a daily basis. Then, exercise, how much…

I'm quite young, I'm 19, so I don't know if it's the same, but yes, I've had a completely flat stomach for most of my life. I carry most of my weight in my thighs and butt (bottom heavy) but my stomachs has always been quite flat. It was probably flattest at my LW of 115lbs (5'5) and even now at my high weight, it's quite…

Girl, eat back however much you want. Half? All of it? I mean, you're on 1300 calories a day, which is super good for fast weight loss, so you don't have to worry. It's not like you're eating 2000 calories a day or something. I'm eating 1200 calories a day and I usually don't eat back my exercise calories, but if I wanted…

I think you really have to give people a chance to see the weight loss, especially if your at a high weight of 210lbs. They're not going to notice it immidately. When I was 152lbs, I got down to 128lbs, which is a 24lbs weight loss & even at my weight, it wasn't that noticeable. Nobody said anything about it. Give your…

Well, this is myfitnesspal. To accurately count calories, you have log to EVERYTHING. Good luck ❤️.

Hey OP (New Gemini), I just wanted to say that I totally agree with everything you're saying and I stand in your corner. By the looks of it, I think some people are just haters & jealous. I mean, this is feeling like a personal attack & there is no reason to be rude or abrupt to you. I dieted for 3 months on a 1200 calorie…

It really depends. In all honestly, people generally lose more weight using a scale because it doesn't give them the opportunity to underestimate their portions sizes, hence a scale is more accurate. But sometimes, you don't always want accuracy. You kind of want that little extra bit of cheese without feeling too guilty.…

Hi, I know that it can be frustrating when you're not losing as much weight as you want to but try not to get disheartened. Weight loss is gradual and it's not linear. Remember that it's a lifestyle & not a race of any sorts. Those who run too fast often fall. Anyway, try to look into your diet and exercise regime to see…

Omg, I want to be you, you remind me of myself. I'm 5'5 and my high weight was 160lbs. I wanted to lose 40lbs in 4 months but it never happened. I'm still trying to get to my goal weight of 120lbs. Before I wanted to be skinny, but now I want to be healthy and fit. I want to be able to run for 10 minutes without feeling…

Hun, I'm 19 too & I used to eat 700-800 calories a day. Firstly, I don't believe the people in the comments because I was losing at least 3.5lbs a week and that got me to my LW (low weight) of 120lbs at 5'5. Are you sure you're eating 800 calories? & how long how you been eating that for? I know if you eat the same amount…

I would definately recommend weighing your food using scales and measuring your liquids using a measuring jug. I think it's important to realise that weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. That being said, I think a lot of time should be invested into perfecting your diet. Measuring your food is crucial. You may think…

Bananas are good for you, I don't care what anyone says. I used to eat them at night, which is apparently the worst thing to do, but hey ho, I'm doing just fine. My motto is count your calories. If they're within your calorie intake, eat as many as you like. I mean, it's really not gonna make you fat. Good luck ❤️.

Hi, I'm on a 1200 calorie controlled diet and I exercise about 4 times a week. I've recently started going ham in the gym (going hard). & my motivation has just began to dip. What do you consider the best way/s to keep you accountable? Thanks

I hate the myth circulating that carbs are the devil. Carbs are needed, they are our bodies preferred energy source. Personally, I lose 2-3lbs a week and I definitely have a high carb intake. You just have to make sure you're eating the rights kinds of carbs. I eat fruit, vegetables, sweet potato, quinoa, brown rice and…

I typically eat around 1100-1200 calories. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner I try to make all 300 calories or less. That leaves me with 200-300 calories for snacks and I'd usually have fruit which is low calorie anyway (an apple, watermelon, maybe some ryvita with flora spread). I'm very simple and basic with my food & calories.…

I think she's fine on this site, I first started coming on here when I was 18 & I'm 19 now. I know I'm legally allowed on this site but even when I was 15, I was considerably knowledgable and well-informed when it came to the topic of weightloss. There's no reason why she shouldn't be here or be made to feel ostracized.…

Try not to worry Heather. I've had the same problem, at a lower weight aswell. I lost 18 pounds according to the trusty scale and went from 154lbs to 136lbs. All my measurements went down by barely half an inch, but that was still super depressing considering I lost almost 20lbs. I also took progress pictures which…

It could be muscle gain or water weight as people have been saying. The fact of the matter is it's virtually impossible to put on 5lbs in 4 days unless you were eating in excess, which I don't believe you were. Don't worry, continue on the right track and when you weigh in next week, it's very likely you could lose it all.…

Is it bad that I only get around 50g of protein a day? Even though it's not a lot, I don't feel like it's bad or detrimental to my health. I tend to have 800-900 calories a day, maximum, so there's only so much protein I can fit in there. Plus, I'm not a big fan of meat, the only meat I actively eat right now is chicken…

I definitely do not believe this. I have eating issues/disordered eating & I eat anything from 300-800 calories daily (usually 500). Yes, I binge sometimes & purge (I'm tryna get better), but in general it's not very hard to maintain. The trick is to gradually increase calories maybe by 200 calories a week until you get to…

It's taken me quite a while to see results, but it depends. On the scale, the weight dropped immediately. I started out losing around 4lbs a week. I know it was most likely water weight but it was still inspiring. I've been on this diet for just under 8 weeks & I've lost a total of 19lbs. It fluctuates but I still lose…

As insightful as this post is, it fails to take individual differences into account. Everyone's metabolic rate varies, some can lounge around all day & still naturally have a high metabolic rate. Genetics do play a part & everyone is different. For example, I was on a low-calorie diet for a while. At a point, I was eating…

Hi, I'm 5'5 (probably one of the tallest here lol) & my current weight is 136lbs. I started at 150lbs on the 15th September, so I've lost about 14lbs in just under 6 weeks, (I know, not a huge loss for many of you). My GW is 110-115. That was where I was before my weight gain
