I’m 5’2 and for some reason over the last 6 months or so Iv put on weight. 8lbs. No reason why. Had a very stressful time last Summer and lost 1 1/2 stone without meaning to. I was very poorly. Then December put it all back on and more. No I wasn’t eating crap. I was eating what and how Iv always eaten since I turned 30. The problem is I can’t get my weight back down. Iv been eating 1200 calories a day max for over 2 weeks and haven’t lost anything. Iv been weighing and tracking calories. Always do 12k steps. I can’t get to the gym or run (wasn’t doing either of those things before anyway) I am vegetarian and eat well. Plenty of fruit and veg, don’t eat pasta, bread or potatoes as Iv limited those all through adulthood as gives me stomach ache. Don’t eat much dairy and the last 2 weeks really reduced the amount of sugar I eat and have had no cakes or chocolate etc. Yes this has made me feel better and belly isn’t as bloated but not made a difference to my weight.
I know the less you have to lose supposedly takes longer. I was 8’10 and now 9’4. Ideally I want to be 8.7 stone but would be happy back to 8’10. Anyone similarl?! Not sure what else to do to shift it? Until recently was having granola with either almond milk or high fat yoghurt for breakfast. Have tried just having a banana for breakfast. Iv been doing the 16:8 the last 2 weeks aswell ....
If your short and not a lot of weight to lose how do you do it?!
