I know you are scared of eating more calories, Ive been in your situation. The real solution is to eat more than you do.

Hardcore Strength training 4 days a week (1-2 hours each)

Hiit 3 times a week (10-20 minutes each)

Normal cardio (elliptical) 3 times a week (30-40 minutes)

Soft Strength training 4 times a week (30 minutes)

That is like 1-3 hours of working out 6-7 times a week.

I eat 1800-2000 calories a day, around 100-200grams of protein.

Yes im into bodybuilding.

Eat more

Lift weight

All yo ugotta do.

U dont need lose more weight, youre gonna be at an unhealthy weight if u do.

Youre thin enough, ur upper arm is like my wrist?

Note: Im at middle of the healthy weight. I lift weight and do cardio and I eat 2000 calories everyday, I never gain weight.

You also do cardio more than me which means you burn more, you're taller, you're thinner, ure supposed to burn more than me (ure supposed also to eat 2000 calories everyday and still not lose weight)

no i wanted a guess from people. i know how much it i

I was really in love and that guy was perfect for me. But the special feelings didnt last and he broke up wit me. And now Im heartbroken and feels like there wouldnt be anyone better.

From what you said it seems like you are waking up every morning hope to lose weight. To long for it so much everyday makes your life boring AND make everything seems impossible and long.

A diet is forever, its not like something you do for a month and lose weight then you can eat whatever you want.

Please make diet a *fun* part of your life and you will get what you want.

Why would you want to lose weight? Your BMI calculated from your figures is 22.0. This is well within the healthy weight range (20-25).

There seems to be so many people on this site who are both young, within normal weight limits but still unhappy with their weight/body. This is what I find most troubling.

Be sensible. Thats my advice.

It makes me nuts too. But I can understand it. I'm about 5'4"... I'm 23 now. And I'm about 162 lbs. When I was 15-16, I weighed 125-130, and I was never happy with myself. I had an unhealthy relationship with food (always felt like I should be dieting/exercising/eating less, felt guilty all the time when I ate anything, really borderline eating disorder)... I think that is how I ended up gaining so much weight as I got into my 20s. I am only now learning about how to eat healthily, and I've been working on my self esteem in therapy. I'm feeling better about myself now at 162 lbs than I did at 125 lbs! Of course, I'm still hoping to get back down to that weight which is much healthier for my height.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is, I know how it feels to obsess about every little detail of your body. I would definitely recommend exercise but not with weight loss being a goal. Keep up a healthful diet but try to be gentle with yourself if you ever make mistakes. Too much strictness can't be maintained forever.

Try keeping a diary about your feelings, especially about yourself. One thing I tried doing for a while was, to write down all the things I did that day that I felt good about. Focusing on the positive can be really helpful.

For example, you should feel great about yourself for caring about your diet and eating well, for getting into an exercise habit early on in your life (it's sooo good for you). Those are two huge things and I bet there are tons more that I have no idea about from reading your one post :)

Good luck and please don't focus so much on the numbers on the scale. You *are* a healthy weight for your height. Focus on how great exercise makes you feel.

Thanks for your reply.. Mind if I ask you gained weight becasue of you didnt eat healthy or just went up for no reason?

Good luck with your diet aswell :)

5'4 and 128-131 lbs

waist: 31.1
bust: 33.9
hips: 33.9
butt: 37

thanks for the info but i still need more advice and answering to my questions :/

It isn't bad per say, as long as you aren't eating 100's of calories of cereal everyday. Why don't you try adding some variety to your snacks, though (if you can make it work)? There are so many other options: fruits, veggies, nuts, string cheese, yogurt... all foods that your body will get nutrients from that it isn't getting from all the cereal.

I do eat fruit and veggies too but mostly cereal. What you mean 100's of calories of cereal? I probably eat 300-500 calories in cereal a day :/

Same with me. I eat Kashi Go Lean- 2 Cups a day. And Fiber one-1 Cup a day, yet I never eat rice, Pasta, Or potatoes either. I've been doing this since age 15 Im 18 now, I don't see any bad side effects so far. And hey cereal tastes so much better anyways don't you agree?

Of course, cereal tastes SO MUCH BETTER. I would want to try Kashi Go Lean and Fiber One but they seem not excist in Sweden :S. These 2 Im eating is by far most fiber and lowest sugar I could find. (Healthiest I could find). And they TASTE GOOD!

DL = Declilitre, 1 dl = 0.35 cup

One question for you, whats your weight and ur heigh? Have you gained weight/lost since you started with the cereal eating?

Alright thanks for the advice.

Which one would you suggest me to do? Like which one is better; jogging or elliptical?
