Fitness Blender and Be Fit. Yoga with Adriene is great for yoga, and Blogilates/Pop Pialtes has some decent stuff.

It's the calories you've consumed over the day minus the calories you burned through exercise. So, if you eat 2000 calories and exercise burning 500, then your net is 1500. I think. ;)

As has been said, that pie isn't your goal, the pie is your actual macro breakdown.

All your exercise could be catching up to you. This may be your body telling you to eat more or rest. Try one or both and see how you feel.

If you're body is not used to exercise, then it could just be adjusting. Your muscles could be holding water. Give it a few weeks. It is incredibly unlikely that you will gain muscle at a calorie deficit doing only cardio. I would definitely add resistance training in sooner rather than later as well.

If you'll have access to the Internet, FitnessBlender.com and the BeFit Channel on YouTubeare great. FitnessBlender has loads of different types and lengths of videos, and BeFit has their own programs, as well as videos from people like Jillian Michaels and Denise Austin. Yoga with Adriene and doyogawithme.com are great…

Is it the number you want lower or are you unhappy with the way you look? 114 is fairly low for 5'4. If you have very little muscle, I'd work on that. I'd go back to maintenance, or perhaps just under it, cut back cardio a tad and focus on a good weight training program to gain some muscle.

FitnessBlender and BeFit on YouTube are both great. I love Yoga with Adriene for yoga. Neghar Fonooni and Jen Sinkler (Lift Weights Faster) also sometimes put out free workouts you can find if you Google. I like both of them a lot,

What a weird combo of fat fingers and autocorrect!

Are you happy with low carb? Are you still counting calories? You still need to be in a caloric deficit, even when low carb. The reason many people are so successful on low carb, especially at first, is that, although they're likely consuming more meat, eggs and cheese, they also very likely cutting calories by limiting…

1. Are you counting carbs or calories? While low carb helps many people lose weight and/or feel better, if you're consuming more calories than you burn, you won't lose. 2. Weight loss is not linear. You'll have ups and downs and plateaus. A larger loss at the beginning of trying is not unusual because it's typically water…

You can do it every day as long as you're not working the same muscle group on back to back days. Your muscles need the rest. So no full body every day. I'd suggest lowering your reps and upping your weights, and/or finding a 4-5 day a week program to follow.

Decide what you want to eat for the week. Make a grocery list. If decide to cook meals for lunch for the week, I'm hit or miss, I do it all on Sunday and pre-measure it so I know serving sizes.

That's got you just over 2100 calories per day, which is probably about right, but the carbs seem a bit high, and fat low, to me. See how you feel. As long as you're in a deficit, feel good, have energy and aren't hungry, you'll be fine. I would be wary of a nutritional plan done by a trainer unless he is also a registered…

Getting rid of the belly fat and strengthening your core are two different things. Eat at a deficit to lose the fat. Planks and variations are great for your core. Also compounds movements like squats, and variations and deadlifts engage your core. Obviously, only do these if medically cleared, though.

I don't know anything about Daily Burn, but The BrFit channel and YouTube and FitnessBlender.com both have loads of free workouts.

If you don't like running, have you considered doing different Cairo like some HIIT workouts that don't involve machines? FitnessBlender.com has some fun, challenging stuff.motherwose, I'd start with Couch to 5K, either outside or on the treadmill, your preference.

As long as you're not eating more than you're burning, you won't gain.

If you're "stuffing your face" to bulk, you will gain fat, not lose it. Focus on getting in good protein, lift heavy and eat at a moderate deficit to lose the fat, maintain muscle and maybe see if you can gain a bit of muscle.

Muscle definition and building muscle aren't necessarily the same thing. Lowering body fat so you can see the muscle is what gets you definition. Obviously, though, the bigger the muscle,mother easier to see the definition. If you're eating at a deficit, it's hard to gain muscle, but eating plenty of protein and lifting…

Read the stickies in this forum. Eat at a caloric deficit, move more. You can't pick where you lose fat from when, your body does that. Belly is the last to go for me. There are no miracle foods, so eat things you enjoy, try to focus on "real" food, but treats are fine, too, weigh, measure and log everything. As for when…

You're getting better at it, your body is more efficient, so you don't need to exert as much energy.

Casey Ho and Coach Nicole from SparkPeople have an apartment workout. I also think FitnessBlender has some.

Give yourself a break. You had a baby 8 weeks ago. Weigh and measure and log everything you eat. If you breastfeed, make sure to add in extra calories for that. You don't have to kill yourself working out, just make sure to eat at a deficit. You can't compare your two pregnancies, or the weight loss after. Each one affects…

It could be bloating, as has been suggested. It could also be because of how you've lost your weight. Are your measurements actually bigger? If you lost fat in other areas, it could, proportionally, make you feel like your belly looks bigger since the proportions have changed.

If you don't want to splurge and adjust your calories to enjoy movie theatre popcorn, then pop some at home, put it in a giant plastic bag and take that. This is one of the benefits of having a giant mom purse, I have found. If you don't have access to a giant mom purse, I'd do a protein bar, I guess. AMC theaters have a…

Are you saying your protein ratio is set at 20%? I set mine to 30%, don't always hit it, sometimes go over. At the end of it, it's the calorie deficit that matters.

I'd definitely go to the specialist as soon you can. If that's not an option, I'd do an elimination diet. Try something like a Whole 30 and see how you feel. Add back in one food group at a time and not how you feel. I'd definitely ask your doctor about that, though putting off going to the specialist could be dangerous,…

Don't use something marketed as "mass building". Although you could because you'd just adjust the rest of your daily calories. Those use tend to have more stuff in them and more calories. Any protein you like is fine. Definitely do a good lifting heavy plan. A fitness blogger I follow really like BioTrust, I've never tried…

Eat at a deficit, do an exercise you love. It won't necessarily slow down weight loss to do the same thing, but if that's all you do, your body could get more efficient at it and burn less calories, I think. But that would be way down the line. At the beginning, something is better than nothing.
