Im 5'11 and 165 , and I have some decent definition in my arms and legs

I was previously fat...like 230 lbs fat...




I am currently doing running, crunches, the abdominal machine at the gym, but the love handles and some skin on my lower stomach just won't go away, I'm not one for for gimmicks or tricks ...I don't mind the hard work, but I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels here.


My diet is pretty standard


2 bananas for breakfast


spinach, peppers , tomatos , cucumbers and a small serving chicken breast tossed in a tiny bit of low fat low cal dressing for lunch



Dinner is typically veggies, some type of protein ( chicken breast or a steak) and nacho chips with guac


sometimes dinner adjusts a bit like if the family has spaghetti ill eat that


On a standard day I run a deficit of like 200-300 cals , on running days I run a deficit of 500 cals


But I dont really need to lose a lot more weight, just got this extra skin/fat around the midsection

you cant lose fat from a specific area of the body without losing fat overall, meaning you'd have to cut a few lbs to really affect your midsection. if you slow bulk after the aforementioned cut then you'd gain minimal amounts of fat going back to 165+

Thanks


I may just have to be patient then as i dont really want to run more than 500 cals a day deficit.

Starving your body isnt a good thing ive heard

You'll have the skin for most likely a few years.. Sorry to tell ya :/

Where'd you hear that from?

you need to lower your calories way lower to "starve" yourself

if you are still losing weight then keep your routine the same

show pics, 230 isnt too heavy and your 'love handles' could still be just fat instead of loose skin.

Quality on phone is shit


And apparently upside down lol
