    In highschool 2002 I was huge 230 lbs of fat
    I went on a shake only diet and got down to 135 and got into a 'maintence program' and maintained that weight for a few years.
    I started getting into figure competing and dieting and worked with a few trainers here and there for the next 3 years
    in 2006 i fell into a deeeeepp depression where I put back on almost all the weight 207 lbs d

    2009 I low carbed it and did HIIT training to get myself back to 170 lbs and was stuck there for months until i got preggrs
    I had a baby in 2011 and once again fell into the low carb HIIT traiining regimen again butttt this time it didnt work.
    I had to pretty much starve myself andwork my ass off to stay at 170 again
    got preggers again and now im screwed..
    now i yoyo-ed myself up in weight again and i just fe%el like I could colapse..i tried shakes, competition dieting, starving(only bci felt hopeless)ect


    I feel like my body hates me..which im sure it does
    I just need guidance, and support.

    All this screams metabolic issues. How low were your calories and for how long did you maintain those low calories on those crash diets? You might need to do some work to get your metabolism healthy and hormones in check before you attempt to diet again.

    Layne Norton recently posted a video blog on metabolic damage and low calorie/high cardio type competition prep and how to recover from said issues. Check it out here ---> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=150177293

    You've posted this same thread like 6 times. Go to the female nutrition section and look for the link at the top to calculate calories needed.

    Unless you have some type of medical condition, a simple calorie deficit will work just fine.

    OP, it's really rather simple. No need for a bunch of different angles on the matter.

    All the info you need and more is right here.

    Get yourself on a calorie deficit and stay there. Put your emphasis on diet and a solid lifting program, (many examples all over the site). Nothing wrong with doing cardio more than once a week, but no need to go to extremes with it. If your on point with diet and lifting, the weight will come off. Be patient and good luck.

    I responded in one of those threads, providing you with the direct link to figure your calories. You deleted that thread, but it's the one you needed...

    I know a few body builders that I have known since they were kids. They never had any problems with their weight, and never had to go on a diet to lose fat. They just started body building and went into competitions. My point is that if you come into body building with a background of struggling with weight issues and yoyo dieting you are going to have a much longer, more difficult struggle to get that "bodybuilders" body. Cut yourself some slack. The answer is in your diet, forget everything else and figure out why you are overeating. Once you figure it out, you can focus on getting the body you want.

    Sioux country has some information (actually a separate forum now) for metabolic damage if you are interested
    http://www.siouxcountry.com/forumdisplay.php?f=345

    I would also recommend some personal exploration or therapy because you have a starve/binge mentality. And staying away from competing from now on will probably be best for you.
