I'm a little bit if a larger girl(I have been trying to loose weight for almost a year now, still have only lost 6 lbs), and I have a question. When I wake up, I have a little flab on my stomach, nothing too noticeable, especially when I suck in. However by the end of the day, I'm bloated and I look pregnant. Any ideas why this might be??

Extra info: I'm also vegan(no animal products). I weigh 160 lbs and have a BFP of 24.6%.

It could be water retention. Are you consuming a lot of sodium in your diet?

I'm not sure, I could be. I'll try to eat things with less sodium and drink more water?

Yes, most definitely. Restrict the sodium and drink more water as well. I'm on the other end of spectrum and if I consume too much salt my stomach will look bloated and my feet and hands will swell up as well.
