Hello I'm a new member that just joined, I would love to have someone give me advice on how to loose the last ten lbs that I've been trying to do. I have a trainer, and all the diet I've tried have always failed and my weight is always bumping around 116-120lbs without much changes in the past two years. I've also tried different diet pills or supplements but none of them are working. I'm slightly active but not a exercise maniac. I'm planning on eating 1000 calories just chicken breast (mostly), on some days add in a salad (arugula, little bits of tomato, little bits of red onion, avocado, shrimp, vinegar sauce). I'm also training so I'm going low carbs too (so I would not loose muscle when I get to 110lbs. I count everything and am very accurate in recording my food. Can somebody that has experience of loosing weight when they are already thin, or have success in reaching a bmi o 17.5 or 17 that can tell me what I should do to get there?



note: the times when I reach below 115lbs the weight jumps up immediately. The only time I was able to get below 115 successfully and close to 110 lbs was almost three years ago. Also, if someone has success in reaching a 17 bmi with some diet pills or supplements, I'm happy to try them.



thank you!
 
What you are aiming for is an unhealthy underweight BMI along with a plan to under consume calories, this is NOT recommended, this forum promotes healthy weight loss through healthy eating.

Also note that maintaining muscle is not just about what you eat, at a 1000 calorie intake you will loose muscle and even more so if your exercise in not correct. You should also be monitoring bodyfat %
 
your current weight - 14.4 % bf = 102.7 lb which is your lean mass add to that the essential fat levels gives you an absolute minimum weight of 115 lb if you don't loose anymore muscle and depending on which method was used to calculate bodyfat %. bioelectrical impedance is very inaccurate and should only be used to track trends. The only way bodyfat can be accurately measure to decimal places is with a Dexa scan or hydrostatic weighing. Calipers are accurate within 2-3 % and likely to over estimate on super low fat %

Combined with the underweight BMI you would be at 115 lb it looks like you have already lost important levels of muscle.
