Definitely take progress pics! If I was just looking in the mirror without having pictures to look at and compare then I doubt I'd think I'd lost much weight at all..

I'm 5'2. Surely I shouldn't be eating back all of my exercise calories though?

Yeah according to the machines at the gym I usually burn around 600 cals a workout, however I know they aren't accurate and tend to overestimate. However I've just calculated my TDEE and it's 1680 so does this mean I should be netting 1344cals and am really undereating? All of this is so confusing!

Thanks everyone! So basically I should probably be increasing my calories anyway?? as 1200 total is without taking away anything I burn during exercise.. I know obviously it's not ideal to be drinking while trying to lose weight and it would be better not to but I was just wondering if it would be having a massive impact.

I'll look into it thanks. Yeah I'm only 5'2. I'd say I have about 10lbs to lose. The thing I'm most conscious about is my tummy area. It does seem to be ridiculously flabby compared to the rest of me. I have stick thin arms and legs and a massive stomach. I'm actually at the lowest weight I've been in years but I'm just so…

According to that calculator I should be eating 1419 calories to lose weight. I might try upping my calorie intake. I haven't started lifting yet no, mostly because I have no idea where to start! I have already noticed that I am quite flabby compared to others my height and weight and my BMI is in the perfectly healthy…
