Weight loss help!

[AngelaM]

Hey!
Ill keep it short, but i am in need of some MAJOR help please!!
I have been going to the gym for 4-5 months now (at least 4 times a week for around an hour - including interval training), going pretty hard i must say!
I have recently become 'half' vegan for my diet (my diet is impeccable), i do pilates twice a week (for the past 2 months), and just started boot camp last week- i like to mix things up! I also walk/run the dog almost every other day. I have lost about 4 kgs, and i am seeing absolutely NO difference! I am so frustrated i have ALMOST given up approximately 15 times in the last 2 weeks!
I am 158cm tall and am finally back down to 59kgs.
Please help me, i have a roundish belly, large thighs and of coarse love handles. This is getting beyond a joke as i am working so hard to getting into shape and looking nice!
Am i doing something wrong?
When is it my turn to look good??
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thankyou, Angela.

p.s sorry about the whinge, but i'm over waiting!

Your exercise routine looks good, although you didn't mention whether you do any weight training at the gym? Strength training is vital for weight loss. The more lean muscle you have the more calories your body will burn at rest.
Secondly, when you say your half vegan diet is impeccable, it doesn't really tell us whether you are eating the right amount of macro-nutrients to promote lean muscle gain and fat loss. Generally, vegetarians have a hard time eating enough protein in their diet. This is one of the main reasons why people can't seem to shift the fat if they do a lot of cardio. Cardio needs carbs as fuel, but if there aren't enough carbs to draw on your body will convert lean muscle tissue to use as fuel instead. If you are not eating enough protein to replenish the muscle you will lose more and more muscle, which will cause you to slow down your metabolic rate and therefore store fat.
One of the biggest keys is to eat 5-6 small meals a day and to include protein with each meal. Also ensure that you have calculated your weight loss calorie level correctly using an online calculator and being realistic about the amount of activity you do. Don't eat too little - it will slow down your metabolic rate and you will store fat!
