Getting rid of weight?

[Emilyrebecca9164]

I'm short and pretty healthy so when I gain it shows big time I want to loose 10 pound I work out regularly but feel like I'm stuck I eat healthy no soda.. So I don't know why I'm having such trouble with this. I'm 23 so I feel like shedding this weight should be a breeze but it hasn't been. I'm big on protein and eat a lot of it to keep me less hungry I take vitamins and I'm on birth control.. Any body know what's up with my body and why I can't loose this weight?

The birth control might be a problem but it is hard for women to lose weight. I know 2 girls my age that started walking everyday and eating healthier and they lost a lot of weight.

Fast for 2 days to break the plateau. Then only fruits and veg for a whole day. Boom, skinny! Lean protein only.

Could be hormones... What is your caloric intake for the day? How much cardio and muscle training are you doing/

[Emilyrebecca9164]

I do cardo everyday strength traing once a week. I only don't work out on weekends about 2200 calories a day but that's high I've been eating less lately to try and get this weight off I know that's not the best way but I don't know what else to do. I just finished my strength traing about an hour ago.. Should I work out more?

Women who want to lose weight should be limiting daily caloric intake to 1200... How long are your cardio sessions? Is your heart rate in the fat burning or cardio conditioning range?

I do a class at golds for an hour then come home and do more. I'm not sure about my heart rate or where it's at but I can find out.

Also, you need to cut your calories for the day almost in half (minus 1000)...
