Very pretty

I'm going to give an atypical answer and say, train with a kettlebell at first, then graduate to weights. And that is coming from somebody who pumped iron in college then took about 20 years off. That is what I did. The benefit of kettlebell training was I got my core stronger and also got myself into good enough condition…

Too cute for words

Impressive hair helmet.

As long as there is a good hip to waist ratio, I am happy. If that condition is met, I can go pear shape, hourglass, petite. Not into big bellies or narrow hips or pancake *kitten*.

I love pizza, but for me it is practically toxic regardless of calories. I put on 3-4 lbs just looking at it. I drop it right back off when I get back on track, but I have to only eat it seldomly as a treat or reward. I'm quite sure it's the crust because I don't do well with processed doughs.

OK, just for that you are a 10. :smile:

8+, maybe even a 9

Yeah, for example, there is a lot of social pressure to drink. Booze does not help my fat loss goals, so I am down to about 2 drinks a month. I also do not eat typical bar food, so this makes me kind of particular about where I go for happy hour, because I am looking for meat and/or veggies with little or no carbs, plus I…

Hello, I'm 46 and exceeded my initial weight loss goals and have the beginnings of a six pack. My goal this year is 12% body fat, and 15 pullups (can do 12 now).

You need to give us more information. Lots of possible causes. Dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, illness or other compromise in health (see a doctor), bad scheduling in relation to your meals.

Lift weights (go hard), eat more. Most of us wish we had your problem. I did as a teenager. I miss pizza and ice cream.

Not everyone can handle seeing the fluctuations, so she should only do this if she wants to. OP, if you think that number is too low, change your deficit to 1.5 pounds per week. It'll give you another 250 calories to work with so you won't feel like you're starving. And, as stated by the others, you can eat back some of…

Anywhere she likes

Good luck to you

I think it totally depends on your objectives, and also the type of activity/exercise you do, number of overall calories, etc. In my case, carbs mostly make me hungry. But too low and I feel crappy. Yet, I need to keep overall calories low so I can drop a few more pounds of fat. My only exercise is heavy weights. So for…

No.

You should weigh yourself nude every morning, first thing. Track your calories. See what kind of trend is being established--are you treading water? Gaining? Losing? If so, too slowly? This may take a little bit of time, figuring out your own metabolism. Based on what you say above, if 1260 seems too low, you may not stick…

Yes

What are your goals? Do you have any restrictions?

Resume eating a normal diet, except this time, count your calories. Weigh yourself every morning nude. By doing this daily you will discover your "break even" number of calories. The number of calories you need to eat to neither lose nor gain weight. If you are gaining weight, shave a few hundred calories off. If you are…

100% drop calories. Why waste energy on "cardio" when you can pump iron instead? I'm 46 and dropped 40 lbs and 8 inches off my waste in 18 months by lifting heavy compound movements 4 days a week, NO CARDIO AT ALL, and just eating at a slight caloric deficit, with plenty of fat and protein. I think cardio is woefully…

I get very little satisfaction from fruit; it doesn't fill me up, it just makes me hungry usually. I do eat some, but not very much.
