Are you tracking your calorie intake accurately? Are you updating the amount of calories you need every time you lose a pound? Do you use a calorie tracker app like Lose It?

>>42371887
bitch do you want help or not!?

What's your weight/goal? Sounds like you don't need to lose that much, or you're not working out at all.

Sorry, I left to go work out.

I am using my fitness pal. I scan and measure all my foods aside from vegetables, I just go by what "one medium sweet potato" says when I search it, for example.

>Are you updating the amount of calories you need every time you lose a pound?
What do you mean? Is there something I have to change in the app? I do update my weight but it doesn't change anything about the set calories.

I am currently 5'3 and 167 pounds. I work out 4 times a week on the elliptical 30 mins, then finish with 15 mins high resistance on a stationary bike.

I did an increase today. I did the elliptical and stationary bike this morning, then jogged and climbed stairs this evening for 40 mins. Felt way more of a work out doing the jog and stairs.

Also, my goal is 130.

167 is fat fuck tier for 5'3 you can go much lower even 100 lbs if you are not muscular.

Your caloric intake is fine but you might be doing too much exercise and causing stress and water retention that masks weightloss

I have gone from 200 pounds to 125 in two years. It crept back up over the past two years. I had always been athletic was a swimmer/water polo player in college and high school, then the babies came and fucked me up.

Well, I went from 200 to 125 from 2011 to 2013 after I had my kid. Maintained it for a good few years, then I got lazy around late 2015 and it crept.

Sorry if that was confusing.

Honestly, I haven't been 100 pounds since I was 12.

When I was 125, I liked the way I looked and wore a women's size 4. I may or may not go harder once I hit 130, I will re-evaluate then.

I like the Lose It app, same function as myfitnesspal, only it automatically recalculates your caloric intake needs based on current weight.

Alternatively, these two calculators are good for calculating your caloric needs for weight loss and your ideal weight for your height and gender. That said, be whatever weight you're comfortable being.
