Well,Im 5"7, 170 pounds and I'm a female. Ive been doing 30-60 minutes on my stationary bike everyday, and do about 200 cruches for about 2 and a half weeks already and eat 2 meals a day along with many bottles of water. I eat one piece of bread with peanut butter in it in the morning, and in the after-noon i usually eat a salad, or cereal. Im limiting my food,working out, and the weight doesn't seem to be coming off. Why is this??

I don't know the physiology behind it but keep at it. You'll start getting results anytime now.

The best way to lose weight is through your diet. Definetly try eating more healthy foods, maybe 5 small meals a day spaced out by two hours each. It seems as though you're exercising enough.

The exercise you're doing is great. The problem is is that you're starving your body of the calories, fats, and nutrients that it needs, causing your body to hold on the fat and calories it gets because it thinks it starving. Instead of only 2 meals a day, try six small, balanced meals a day with lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats (like chicken) with the same amount of water and exercise you've been doing and you should be fine. Good luck!

Because when your body thinks it's starving it hangs onto that fat for dear life! You need to eat healthy with all that excercise, ...fruit, and salads, a handful of trail mix, once in a while, or maybe a granola bar, or a few wheat thins. don't forget fiber, they do make good low-fat cereals, good for when dieting like Special K, and Total. Serious! don't kill yourself to lose a few pounds. They say every one should eat like diabetics have to...a healthy snack every couple of hrs. gives you energy thru the day too. (hope this helps.)

well peanut butter is quite unhealty first of all. eat alot of fruits and veggies daily. also get as much excersize as possible. swimming is the best kind because it excersizes all the muscles in your body at once, without too much strain. so try and get some laps in. and finally, beleive it or not, you are supossed to eat 6 times a day. small portions though. it gets your metabolism up, and the weight down.

You're exercising great. Good for you. Run more often, and the most important thing is to eat LITTLE meals ALL throughout the day. Eating is so important. Eat healthy fruit, veggies, AND LEAN MEAT. You need protein to turn any fat into muscle. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Don't give up! A new diet and exercise program can take two weeks before you start to see results. Besides its how your clothes fit not how much you lose. You could also be gaining some muscle which will make you look heavier on the scale. Keep it going:)

Are you taking your vitamins? Are you limiting the salad dressing? Are you drinking fat free milk? Are you eating citrus? Do some of that, too, to help speed up your metabolism. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat, and you are exercising. Good luck.
