I’ve been tring to lose weight for months but my weights dosen’t move, am I eating to many calories? I eat around 1500-1700 a day and exercise around 2 hours a day, 50 mins strenght training, 40 mins on a bike, and 20 mins pilates, that burn arounds 500-590 calories. So to lose 10 lbs should i lower my calorie intake?
I do 7 hours of cardio a week and 3 hours strength-training a week. I take dance classes (included in the 7 hours), but neither the classes nor any of my other cardio workouts are very rigorous (I mostly walk). I lift weights for strength-training as well as yoga and Pilates. I consume about 500 calories a day and 60 grams of protein. I’m 5’3, 129 lbs, and want to be 108 by the beginning of March. 129 may not seem like a lot but I feel like a lot of it is fat.
(It’s imperative you take notice of my exercise regime. Will that help me get into shape? For my dance team, I have to wear a midriff-bearing top, and I want my abs and my whole body to be toned.)
I hear you, T-Bone, but I’m not sure you understand. I HAVE to lose weight, and fast. I know my diet’s drastic, but sometimes that’s just what you have to do to get where you want. I’m so sick of my body, and I need to fit into my clothes!
Thanks, ya’ll, for your care and concern. I’m terrified of calories and gaining weight, and I’m probably borderline anorexic. I think my question should be “Will my diet work?” Because I KNOW my diet’s really unhealthy….I just put so much pressure on myself.

Hi, I’m 25, weight is 135, I’m 5’4. I don’t want lots of muscles but I want a six pack, solid triceps and chest. How can I accomplish this at home? Practicing pilates? tai chi? push ups?
Please provide a routine like: 10 push ups every 3 days…etc…something like that.
I really want to become as solid as bruce lee. My complexion is small so it will probably be easier to build up muscles, but I want solidity and prominence.
Thanks!
I want to tone up and define my legs and butt mostly. I also would like to define my arms more w/o bulk. I eat 2-3 times a day, a regular portion, and 1 serving of food. (no special meals only what i want) I am not a candy or junk eater. I was wondering if i work out 4 times a week and jog 3 times out of that week with 3lbs weights, will i tone and define my body w/o muscle bulk in the next two months. Any suggestions?
Oh yea i do pilates 4 times out that week also.
