PLEASE DON’T GO UNDER 1200 CALORIES IT WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.
I am Finn, I’m chubby and I’ve been losing weight! I thought that I should share what I do with fellow chubby and fat girls who need help losing weight. I might make more of these but idk.
Tip #1: Keep in mind that results won’t come immediately
Gaining takes time. You didn’t gain 25 pounds in one night. You know what also takes time? LOSING. It can be paced differently depending on the person, but if you are eating in a calorie deficit and working out, burning extra calories without going under 1200, then you will lose weight. It will happen over time. It could take you two months or it could take you a year. You just have to push through it and enjoy the results when you get there.
Tip #2: Fiber and Hydration are your friends
Sometimes, you think that you seem even fatter than when you started despite the number on the scale going down. Everyone feels that at one point. I am here to tell you, you’re probably not getting fatter. You’re probably bloated. Trapped gas and stool CAN MAKE YOU BLOAT. If you are eating more fruits and vegetables or foods high in fiber, YOU NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER TO MATCH THE FIBER. Not exercising can also keep you bloated. Go on a jog, play just dance (what I do for exercise), or do cardio.
Tip #3: Overestimate your calories
If you don’t know how many calories you ate, look up the average, and assume you ate the highest amount of calories. You should be eating more than 1200 calories, so if you overestimate your calories and eat a little less during the day, you should be fine.
Tip #4: This is just a fact
YOU CANNOT TARGET FAT LOSS. You can work out certain muscles to target strengthening and thickening (this may help you change your shape, but it overall depends on bone structure and genetics), BUT YOU CANT LOSE WEIGHT JUST IN YOUR TUMMY BECAUSE YOU WORKED OUT A CERTAIN WAY. Where you lose fat first is genetic and tummy fat is often the hardest to lose.
I have more but I’m tired of writing because this genuinely took me 45 minutes. I’ll write more later

NODDING MY HEAD AGGRESSIVELY!!!!! I AGREE WITH YOU SO HARD!!!!!
there were times i was eating under 1200 cals a day and it was. the WORST. i wasnt having enough water or protein and i had zero energy to do anything. even if you're in a cal deficit, you should still eat enough protein, carbs, and fiber to keep your body GOING!!! especially if you exercise too. and DRINK WATER!!!! sometimes you might not even be hungry, you're THIRSTY AND DEHYDRATED!!!!! DRINK WATER NEOWWWWW!!!! i invested in a 40oz water bottle and its been the best thing ever i recommend so much
