Hey all!! I just moved here to DC from South Florida and I have put some weight on when I was living in South Florida 6 months ago i weighed 153, I am now 160. I am trying to get down to 135lbs, Im 5'7. My diet is like this:
B: Slimfast shake or Oatmeal
S: Canteloup
L: Lean Cuisine (180 Calories or 320 Calories)
S: 100 Calorie Snack Pack
D: Fish with vegetables or Chicken with vegtables
S: Luna Bar
Only drink water. and plenty of it!
Exercise is walking warm up 15mins then running on tread mill for 45mins.
I have been doing this for two months now and I haven't lost anyweight, but my stomach has become flat and my pants for work have become much looser. Can anyone help? How can I get my scale weight down to 135lbs?
 
Looking at your diet, I am guessing you are not eating enough calories. You definitely need more protein. I would toss the Slim Fast shake. Lean Cuisine I don't know much about, so I can't really comment on those. Add a protein with your oatmeal at Breakfast. Actually you should eat a protein and carb at each meal. You drink lots of water, thats a positive. Do you weight train ?? If possible that would be of tremendous benefit to you.
 
Yeah, you need more protien. Im 15 and weighed 165 last year, over half of last school year and last summer, ive gotten down to 130-135. I did this by working out ( benching, arms) and running, and lots of ab workouts. Try doin some of this ( if you already dont) and you'll be suprised what happens.
 
yeah i stopped lifting weights because my body just needs to lose fat first by doing lots of cardio..do you recommend a protein shake then along with my oatmeal? maybe i am not eating lots of calories then, but i am running and the running is helping me lose inches but not making the scale go down
 
You can add egg whites to your breakfast, cottage cheese, protein powder, any good source of protein.

I agree with JPC that you should start weight training. For some reason a lot of people think that you need to do cardio first until you're at your goal weight and then start weight training. That's not accurate though. Everyone can benefit from weight training because building muscle increases the amount of calories burned by your body every day even when you're just sitting around!
 
A reduction in body fat does not come with lots of cardio. It comes when you combine cardio, strength training, rest, proper meals and hydration.

1) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Each meal should be 2-3 hours apart. Each meal should contain one protein and one carb. The first meal should be eaten within an hour after waking.


2) Drink a cup of water at each meal.


3) Rest properly. This means taking at least 48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and it also means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lastly, it means taking 1-2 days off from exercising per week.


4) Cardio. This should be done at different intensity levels and different session lengths. Consider doing a low intensity/long session, a high intensity/short session and a few medium intensity/medium length sessions.


5) Strength Training. Strength train each muscle 1-3 times per week. You should lift a proper weight and perform the proper amount of sets/reps for your strength training method. If you need more guidance or exercise ideas you can head over


All of the above things combined will result in fat loss.
