Need some Guidence!

Hello!

I am new to the forum, and looking for some guidence in my weight loss venture.

I started my diet/exercise regimen 12/26/2010-Starting weight: 227

I'm 5'3 (female)

I started with 20 min Cardio, and about 20 minute weight training, and keeping my calorie intake 1300-1500 per day. Some days more than others, I try to stay away from simple carbs as much as possible since I have PCOS, to avoid increased insulin resistance.

Today: 2/28/2011- (2 months later) I am 214ibs

I am glad I am heading in the right direction, but as hard as I am working you would think I would be at my 1st goal by now which was 200lbs.

My routine in the last three weeks has been 45-60 cardio daily, 15-20 minutes weight training (moderate pace) and sometimes doing a cycle class 2-3 times per week to substitute the cardio just to mix it up.

Does anyone have any suggestions to increase calorie burn?

I feel some loss in my closes, and understand I am losing inches but the scale should be going down as well since I am considered "morbidly obese" in the eyes of the scale.
 
how long have you been doing this routine??? sounds good to me. Maybe you need to give it some more time??
 
I just noticed I spelled closes, its suppose to be clothes..LOL Need more coffee..

@ Korrie: I've been doing the cardio 45-60 minutes a day for about a month now, and forgot to add, I am starting the couch to 5k as well now. I get bored with the same ole routine every day. So to substitute my cardio some days I go the couch to 5k routine which starts with walking 90 seconds, running 60 seconds, alternating for 25 minutes.

I guess I am just very impatient, Summer is just around the corner and thought I would be at my first goal by now 200#, and then I could move to my 2nd goal 175#
 
Recommended weight loss is usually only about 2 lbs per week. You're doing pretty well, but you just need to keep at it. Weight loss isn't overnight, and keeping your weight from rising can be a challenge in itself. Really, CONGRATULATIONS!
