Hey, Becky. Looking pretty good to me, but we all want to be better, right?
Losing fat in trouble spots is all about losing fat in general.
Losing fat is about eating right and burning more calories than you take in.
Here's what I suggest:
1. Keep a food diary so you can calculate exact macronutrient intake.
2. Figure out your BMR/RMR using the calculators on this site.
3. Get a good Heart Rate Monitor so you can figure out your calorie burn during exercise (which is calories burned in addition to BMR/RMR).
Now you know YOUR numbers...
4. Target at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily.
5. Keep fat calories around 15-20% of total calories.
6. Eat enough carbs for energy (which is the balance of your BMR/RMR + exercise calories after protein & fat intake are considered).
7. Start researching alternate foods for healthier alternatives. For example, more fish and turkey vs. beef or pork. More veggies vs. breads. Healthier fats like olive oil, canola oil and avocado instead of saturated and hydrogenated fats. Real sugar instead of artificial sweeteners or HF corn syrup, etc.
