melissamtz90. Try a weight lifting programme like Stronglifts 5x5. Something with progressive overload. And incorporate Glute exercises like barbell Glute bridges. I don't do too much cardio. I just do 2x20 to 30minute swim sessions twice a week as I dont want to loose weight either.

Recomp like others have said and follow a progressive lifting programme. I do Stronglifts 5x5 and also incorporate a few machines weight exercises with the routine. Normally the stomach area, (abs) are the last to get and the first to go. Keep going ☺

Are you male or female? Have you had children? Have you lost a lot of weight? I've had children (one weighed 8lb 6oz) and being 5ft 2 my stomach has stretched. No amount of exercise or calories deficit will change mine. If I try and go into a calorie deficit I loose weight everywhere else as you can't spot reduce then I…

I've always been skinny/fat. I'm only 5ft 2 and 108lb. For years I did swimming and bike riding. And although I had a good shape I never felt "toned".Then for some reason one day I decided to try the machines at the gym, as the gym package was cheaper than going swimming all the time and it included swimming sauna and…

Yes I didnt bother adding my calories back. It's a bit difficult to calculate lifting. I've not lost weight or gained either way.

I make my own protein bars and always use oats. But I thought I'd give coconut flour a go. I didn't follow a recipie (I thought I was being clever). Big mistake. They turned out like pink piles of sawdust. (I'd added Strawberries to the mix). I couldn't make them more palatable without adding more fat and sugar in the form…

Last year I set my calories at 1750. I didn't worry about sorting out my macros other than eating to that goal and adding extra protein in my diet via shakes and bars. Fast forward to now and mfp has me at calories at 1470 maintenance. My macros are 30% protein at 110g, 40% carbs at 147g and 30% fat at 49g. I always hit my…

Hi thanks for the reply. I did take a few progress photos. It's mainly my stomach area I have problems with. I'm checking my food as I tend to bloat a lot. My weights are low atm as I had/have sciatia some days as well as a trapped nerve in my leg. I'm a bit scared to add more weight on squats so I'm only squatting with…

Hi. I need some advise. I've read through quite a lot of pages on here and I'm wondering if a recomp would be suitable for me. My stats Age 52 Height 5ft 2" Weight 108lb Body fat 24% I've been as low as 104lbs before but I don't want to loose anymore weight. I still have (i feel) more body fat than I would like. Not sure…

Yeah I can relate to this. My gym also has only one squat rack and I've only just started out. Most of the men leave the Olympic bar full of weights on a high setting on the rack and there's no way I can even get the weights off. I asked a guy to remove them for me and he just looked at me as if to say this is for the big…

Yeah I've heard that so many times. "What's your secret?" Along with a load of carp sayings such as it must be genetics .. it must be luck. .. There's no luck involved it's called "getting off your *kitten* and working your but off.

I'm 52 and 5ft 2" at 108lbs. I don't know how to post photos .....

I pre log mainly during the week. I try and work out my protein and calories first. Normally I decide the night before what I'm having for dinner the next day so when I take meat or fish out of the freezer I log it straight away.
