Body recomp question?
I'm aware that this takes time and is difficult, however, is body recomp possible when you still have some fat on your body? I'm just worried I'll be gaining muscle under fat if I do this. Long story short, I'm 110lbs, 5'3, and a body fat % of about 22/23 depending on the calculator. I'm seeing a therapist who doesn't…

Do I have a fast metabolism?
I do 30 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week, as well as 10 minutes of core and leg exercises daily. 6 days of the week I'll do arm and chest exercises, thought I judge this by type of exercise, not time. It's probably about 15/20 minutes, though. Aside from exercise, I'm out and about often. I run errands like a normal…

Is it normal to have fat on my arms?
This may seem like a silly question, but I have like no perception of what a healthy kind of skinny looks like. I'm 110lbs and I've been maintaining but it's a struggle because I still feel like I have weight to lose. I'm 5'3. My arms are pretty muscular when I flex and I don't see any fat jiggling when I do this. My…

Overate after surgery?
I just had a surgery done yesterday and luckily it was minor so I'll be able to workout again within a week. But for now, I'm sedentary. The past two days I barely ate anything due to the surgery and today I was so hungry. I wouldn't say I binged, because I didn't eat a huge amount all at once, but I certainly ate more…

Loose skin vs fat?
I've had no problem losing weight all over my body, except for the region between my breasts and my arms. The other night, my mom suggested that maybe I haven't lost much weight there because it's loose skin. I've never thought of that area as loose skin, but now I can't help but worry. I've only been overweight for at…

Confused about how much I should eat
I feel bad posting around here so often, however, I've been pretty confused lately. I'm a 19-year-old female who's 5'3 and I started at 162lbs. My initial goal weight was 120lbs, but when I got to that point, I wasn't happy with how I looked and aimed for 110lbs instead. I'm now at 110lbs and I don't know where to go from…

How long does toning take?
I'm not exactly sure what to call this, but I'm 110lbs (19-year-old female who's 5'3) and I still have a little bit of 'flab' on my arms. People on here have told me that I probably shouldn't be losing any more weight, so I've been maintaining lately instead. I've also began to add strength training for my arms. I've been…

Elliptical calories?
Just invested in an elliptical and I'm about to do my first workout on one. I've been into fitness for years now, so I'm not worried about my ability to use one...I am worried about accuracy, though. I aim to burn 200 calories with my workouts, but I've heard the counters on elliptical machines are inaccurate. If my…

Hungrier the more weight I lose?
Nine months ago I started losing weight and I could eat low calories with no problem. In fact (I know it's super unhealthy, but it wasn't forced) some nights at the start of my journey, I'd eat like 1000 calories a day simply because I wasn't that hungry. Now, after losing 50ish pounds, it's getting so hard to eat weight…

Does this seem accurate?
http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/calories-burned I've been using this calculator lately to gauge how many calories I burn a day. Either I'll set myself as somewhat active (I do about 4,000-5,000 steps disregarding workouts) and add in exercise calories or I'll set myself at active (9,500-10,000 steps with exercise steps…

Calories for toning up?
I'm at 110lbs (5'3, 19 year-old female), however, around my body there are still some areas with a little bit of fat I'd like to get rid of. For example, my upper arms are a little soft. To slim down these areas, do I still eat weight loss calories? I do 30 minutes of moderate cardio a day and I lift weights as well as do…

Could constipation show on the scale?
It's been about a month since I've weighed myself and while I've had a few slip ups this month, I was still projecting to have lost at least 1lb or 2. I weighed myself tonight and my weight was still the same as it was last time. The past two nights, I've been constipated. Could that be showing on the scale? Do you think…

Is activity level based on regular activity or workouts?
Can someone who does 10,000+ steps a day still be considered active even if they don't do any distinct workout?

Toning up instead of losing weight?
I'm very thankful that you guys on here were so supportive and helpful with my last question about losing weight. I've decided to maintain now because of it. I just have a few exercise related questions now: For starters, is it possible to tone up my arms without losing any more weight in them? I'm 110lbs and 5'3 (19 years…

Do you have to workout daily to lose weight?
I'm a tad obsessive, so during my 6 month journey of weight loss so far, I've probably only missed two or three workouts. I do 40 minutes daily of cardio, burning about 300ish calories. Due to that, I eat 1500 calories. I'm find it hard to workout every single day and I'd like to drop that to 6 times a week instead. My…

Doctor's office scales?
I weigh myself on a scale that isn't digital, but it's also not manual either. It has a little line and then a wheel of numbers that moves when you step on it. It said I was 110lbs nearly three weeks ago. Today I went to the doctors and was weighed on one of those tall manual scales where the nurse moves stuff around to…

Do you burn less when you lose weight?
I use a calculator to estimate my total calorie burn and for me, it's always said about 2300 a day. But now that I've lost 50ish pounds, it's saying I burn about 2200. Do you think it's true that I burn less now? I work out daily and I also have a significant amount it muscle on me, so I've always imagined I'd be burning…

Sick and can't work out
I've been losing weight since October and have probably missed like 5 days of working out since then. I usually do a daily workout routine that burns about 300 calories. But I'm feeling sick tonight and have a feeling I'll be bedridden tomorrow. Usually the rare day I miss a workout I still get a decent amount of steps…
