How many calories
I've been losing weight since last June. I'm down 45 lb and have 15 more to go. These past few weeks though I haven't lost anything. Has eating below my BMR most days for the past 10 months done damage to my metabolism or something? I've even been exercising. Should I eat more? I'm only 4'11 so I figured 1200-1300 wouldn't…

Flatter tummy
I know "abs are made in the kitchen", and I've been eating healthy and relatively clean for nearly 9 months now. Yes I was extremely overweight, obese even, before. But now I'm about 10-15 pounds from my goal, and my stomach still looks poofy and its still swishy! I haven't done any exercise really, so I was wondering if…

Short people and 1200 calories
Is there anyone else whos around 5 ft (I'm 4'11) who has been eating 1200 calories almost every day for an extended period of time (more than 6 months) and are still healthy and have not had any bad side effects of that extended period of calorie restriction?

I have lost over 40 lb now. I'm only 4'11, so it's pretty obvious, except to me. I'm still fat. I still look in the mirror and I'm not happy. I'm not at my goal yet but almost, and I still feel the same about myself as I did when I was at my heaviest. I notice my clothes are loose, clothes that haven't fit in YEARS fit…

Why won't my belly fat go away?!
I've been on this journey for months, and while I have gotten smaller everywhere, my tummy is coming along the slowest. I eat well. I exercise. I drink tons of water. Is there any way to specifically help my tummy?! Maybe any foods to avoid or foods to eat? I do feel bloated often but I don't want that to be my excuse…

Confused about my caloric intake
So I've been eating around 1200 calories a day for the past 8 months. I occasionally eat out and go above this and for almost a month I wasn't paying attention to calories much. But I just recently calculated my BMR and found that it's 1400 calories. I've been eating less than that about 90% of the time since last June. Is…

Macros
I'm having trouble figuring out what percent of my diet should be protein/carbs/fat. I've read that about 35-40% protein, but i feel like over a hundred grams of protein is a lot for me..
