Having problems with weight loss

hey guys. Im 22, male, 5'9 and 175 pounds

Ive been running practically everyday or cycling since my knee/shins have been killing me for about 30-40 minutes a day. every other day i do about an hour of weights.
So monday i will do Biceps and chest, wed i would do back and triceps and cycle back to bi's and chest thursday. Im decently muscular but all the muscle i gain is just pushing out my existing body fat. mainly my chest and my stomach.

For diet, ive been trying to do the atkins...it sucks and i cheat alittle but i am still taking in low carbs and sticking away from salts and sugars. I'd say my diet consist of instant oatmeal, chicken breast with saltfree seasoning, salads and tuna.

It has been about 2 months...very little results in the stomach area...everywhere else i can see alittle tightening but i flexuate between 165-175 pounds whether i workout or not. i think my metabolish is SUPER slow...

Any ideas on what i can try? should i resort to supplements? or any meal plans that you would suggest?
My only problem on meals is that i hate eggs and meal plans that require hours of prep and lots of ingrediants. Im pretty good about sticking with 3-4 differenht meals for months at a time.

HELP!! thanks!!

You need to start to count cals for starters you would of lost weight with that amount of excercise if you have a calorie deflict.

Your stomach will be the last to go. It might look the same but it might be thinner. Take pics so you can see the actual progress.

You should also start leg excercises there the most important for weight loss in respect to weight training.
 
I also don't see shoulders or ab work listed, plus the legs like newf mentioned.

Atkins is crap...that's why they went bankrupt. You aren't eating enough really. Add more fruits and definitely more veggies. Stir fry with very little oil and no sauces is a great cutting meal.

PS - this is the Women's forum...might get more replies in the men's forum below ;)
 
you might want to eat about 6-8 meals a day, i realize that you might have to go out of your way making time for them, but that would be a good step to increasing your metabolism. Also, you can take a vitamin, it's called ONE A DAY: WEIGHT SMART and that has some natural ingredients that are supposed to help with metabolism. oh, and if you choose to eat the 6-8 meals, make sure they are spaced out for atleast 2hrs and pretty small.

GOOD LUCK
