Anyone got tips for someone who has thin arms/legs, but has a bit of a gut?

You can't pick and choose where you lose weight. You have to follow the same principles and let it happen. It will eventually, but if you're apple-shaped, like me, you may be insulin resistant which will make it tougher and will take longer. Be patient with yourself and it WILL happen!

Alright, I just hope I can pull through.
 
Hey is it normal to zero out an entire days worth of calories? I’ve been working out and eating less and I’ve noticed my calorie counter telling me I’ve gone into the negatives on some days.

If you have the willpower for intermediate fasting. It works really well, but some people have a lot more trouble with it. I always say, do what ever keeps you healthiest mentally. I knew a guy that had a very slow metabolism, and he basically laughed it off, other than getting winded quicker, there wasn't very much he changed and lost the weight. He said the food cravings were worse than the hunger. On the opposite spectrum I knew a guy that became an anger basket case because of it, and would go from zero to meltdown because he hadn't eaten the entire day.
 
So I started committing back to the gym and I’ve been able to build muscle and lose weight (so far almost 4lbs over the course of 2 months). Tracking your own weight helps too and I find that consistently weighing yourself under the same conditions (no clothes on, same time every day, take a shit before weighing, not eating right before bed, etc.) is the best way to accurately track yourself. Tracking your progress really helps to go a long way. And if you’re a lazy fuck like me (and don’t care much for giving corps your personal info) you can just purchase a Bluetooth scale that will transfer data to a tracking app and you can also invest in one of those fitness apps that setup workout sessions for you when you go to the gym.
 
At 85 pounds lost now. If I lose 82 more, I'll be at my ideal weight. And I've managed this in less than 6 months.

But I won't lie, my motivation is waning. Why bother changing my weight when my biggest problem is my personality?

But this board isn't for depression rants, so I'll leave it at that.

You're over halfway there. Do you know how remarkable that is? Holy shit. Whatever else your personality might be like, also think of yourself as a person who has the resolve and self-discipline that has brought you to this point.

Everyone's motivation flags now and then, I think. I've dropped 80 myself this year and have...oh, I don't know. I'm a 5'8" chick sitting right at 200 at the moment. I guess another 40 to go. And November just exhausted my willpower. I hope we both get it back.
 
I'm down to 1-2 swimming sessions per week because life got busier and a back injury killed my ability to run. I'm still slowly losing weight (121 lbs now) but I think it's mostly muscle loss.

My girlfriend has also remarked that I feel bony. I would love to get more toned but I don't know where to find the time.
 
After spending November between 200-202, I managed to break through to 197. Now I know the secret of successful intermittent fasting for me is to have a cup of oatmeal as the last thing before starting the fast. Also 197 brings my BMI down to exactly 30. That's still obese, but that's the cut-off point. And I'll take it over the 42.6 it once was.
