I am 5.5 1/2 inches tall and weigh 135.5 right now--which is just really big for me. I feel so yuck. I feel my best and feel totally healthy at 124-126. I have a small frame according to the wrap your thumb around your wrist test. All the websites say I need 1400-1700 calories to meet BMR. I work out with intense aerobics classes and weight lifting that burn (so my instructor says) 800-1000 calories per class at least 3-4 times a week---turbo jam or kickboxing and pilates. I have been doing these classes and eating btwn 1300-1450 calories each day for about two weeks now and I have not lost a single pound. In fact, with the water and fiber I am drinking I feel bloated and full all the time....just fat. In the past when I have dieted I have followed the 1200 calorie rule or counted points with ww. Even then, I could do just fine on 1100 calories a day. I really am so tempted to eat 1200 calories a day on the days I dont work out and 1300-1400 on the days I do. What do you think I should do? Should I have my metabolism checked? Hello, I am in quite the predicament, it seems. I am 5.5 1/2 inches tall and weigh 135.5 right now–which is just really big for me. I feel so yuck.
