You are so fortunate... Can't wait to get there... Can you share what methods you used to get to goal... your calorie intake and if your were following a low carb diet etc.. Did you exercise cardio or strength training... struggling with the last few kg... And also have my goal set at 50 kgs...im 1.57 m and small built.  

Thanks I’m sure You’ll get there too. I do all sorts of things and Switch things up. Last week I was on a 1500 average calorie diet and intermittent fasting. I eat between 6:30 and 13:00. I combine cardio ( indoor cycling/ outdoor run 1hour 20 minutes ) and strength training (voice of fitness 35 min in my living room). I do 3 days in a row then one day rest. I eat carbs mainly in the morning and sometimes at lunch. I have oats,semolina or spelt (1/2cup cooked) and 1 tablespoon of almond butter, peanut butter or tahini and 1 tablespoon of honey every morning. Starting this way usually wards my sweet cravings for the day. Recently I upped my protein intake so I skip the nut butter and have 2 egg whites in addition to the oats and honey. Lunch I usually have a protein ( meat and vegetables, if I’m extra hungry I’ll have 1/2 cup of bulgur. Then fruit and yogurt(1/4cup) black tea and lots of water to get me through to the next morning. I have a cheat day once a week. But even during the week allow myself desserts if it fits in m calories or compensate the next day. I always look at my diet calendar to see the green arrow.  

Hey Nadous, well done on almost reading your goal weight. I am curious to know how tall you are, so that I can have a feel for my ideal height/weight ratio.  

I’m 1.63 m  

I’m naturally small framed though, I’m a twin and was born quite small. So on paper my BMI will show underweight at 48 kg but I don’t look underweight at all just healthy. The BMI isn’t completely accurate. I never starve myself, never go under 1500 unless I exaggerate on a cheat day and usually opt for compensation via exercise rather than sacrificing my food. I love food and it’s important to enjoy it and not have a rigid regimen that you can’t sustain. I plan my day ahead but I leave room for spontaneity. If for example we decide to go out for a meal or whatever I adjust my week. I never needed to watch out before my pregnancies but having had to lose 26 kg twice, has taught me a lot and both times I used fat secret. Now I just use it to maintain a healthy lifestyle especially since I love to cook and bake and go a bit nuts around the holidays!!
