Let's see: peanut butter, cookie, nachos, nuts....these are high calories.... cut them out. What kind of dressing do you have on the salad and tuna? How may calories does it have? Where's your calcium....do you drink milk? You definitely need calcium of some sort like lowfat yogurt or milk. Count your calories, you need 1500-1800 per day.

You're not eating enough so your body is going into starvation mode.

You're not eating nearly enough, and you're not getting enough protein. Protein builds muscles and burns fat.

Maybe this will help:

These exercises can be done anywhere:

1) The Reverse Lunge – Stand a stride's length in front of a chair, feet and knees hip width apart. Place your left foot on top of the chair so you are standing on the right leg. Keep abdominal muscles pulled in tight as you slowly lower your hips down towards the floor. Hands on hips or out for balance. At lowest position your right knee should be over your right ankle, in line with second toe. Use your bottom muscles to push back up to start position. Repeat 12 times on each leg.
2) The Chair Squat – Stand in front of the chair, feet hip width apart. Keep tummy tight as you lower yourself as if to sit on the chair. Just before you touch the chair, and with your knees over your ankles in line with the second toe, use bottom and thighs to push yourself back to standing. Build up to 20 repetitions.
3) Donkey Kicks – Kneel on elbows and knees, elbows under shoulders and hands clasped together, knees hip width apart. Keep tummy tight and spine straight. Raise one foot towards ceiling, and, with knee bent at a right angle, squeeze bottom and press foot up to ceiling 12 times. Repeat on other leg.
4) Bridge – Lie on your back with your knees bent and hip width apart, feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your bottom to lift your hips towards the ceiling until your body forms a straight line from knee to hip to shoulder. Repeat 10 times.
5) Advanced Bridge – Follow above steps to bridge position, then keeping hips level and body in a straight line, lift and straighten one leg and lower 10 times. Keep squeezing your bottom to hold your hips in line. Return to start position before repeating on the other side.
6) Swimming – Lie face down on the floor, hands making a pillow for the head, legs shoulder width apart. Point your toes outwards, and roll your thighs inwards to connect the muscles of the bottom. Lengthen and lift the legs until they are just hovering off the floor. Keeping knees straight, kick the legs slowly as if swimming, alternating legs. Perform at least 20 kicks.
7) Wall Squat – Stand in front of a wall facing away from the wall, feet hip width apart. Lean your back onto the wall, and slowly lower your body down towards the floor, shuffling your feet forwards until you are in a sitting position, ensuring the knees are above the ankle and in line with the second toe. Keep the tummy pulled in and a straight spine. Slowly push yourself back up to standing and slowly lower down again up to 5 times.
8) Body Lift on Chair – Lie on your back with your heels up on a chair, hands behind your head. Knees should be bent to a right angle. Squeeze bottom to lift hips up slowly until your body is in a straight line from knee to hip to chest. Lower the hips slightly and lift again squeezing your bottom and performing 15 – 20 thrusts.
9) Standing Leg Circles – Stand facing a wall hands on the wall and tummy pulled in. Lift one leg behind you keeping hips facing forward, and circle leg around 8 times in each direction. Repeat on other leg.
10) Walking Lunge – Stand with feet hip width apart, hands on hips. Take a large step forward as you lower your body down until your front knee is above the ankle, in line with the second toe. Pause for 1 second and raise yourself up as you step forward onto the other leg, repeating the lunge. Perform up to 10 slow lunges on each leg.

Do these atleast 2-3 times a week.

Here are some tips:
Good things come in small packages. Here's a trick for staying satisfied without consuming large portions: Chop high calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you're getting more than you actually are.


Don't give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don't cut them out of your food plan completely. Just use low fat soft cheese and mayo instead of the full fat stuff.


Get water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high fat snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. So drink up! Add some zest to your six to eight glasses a day with a twist of lemon or lime.


Herb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavour to foods without adding fat or calories.


Slim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top and can be skimmed off the surface.


Go American and doggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants that you know serve large portions, ask the waiter to put half your main course in a take away box before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practise portion control.


Listen to your cravings. If you're craving something sweet, eat something sweet – just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings – for example, try air-popped popcorn instead of high fat crisps. It's just smart substitution!


Ease your way into produce. If you're new to eating lots of fruits and vegetables, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile salad veg into your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.


Look for high fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high calorie meals? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.


Don't multi-task while you eat. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't be paying attention to what's going into your mouth – and you won't be enjoying every bite. Today, every time you have a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavours and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.


Taste something new. Broaden your food repertoire – you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable (ever had plantain, pak choi, starfruit or papaya?).


Leave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you still feel satisfied eating just a bit less.


Get to know your portion sizes. It's easy to underestimate how much you're eating. Today, don't just estimate things – make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.


Make a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthy counterparts. Today, find a substitution that works for you: Use skimmed milk instead of full fat milk; try wholewheat bread instead of white.


Bring lunch to work tomorrow. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and takeaways, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).


Have some dessert. You don't have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free – be sure you're practising portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.


Ask for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don't want seconds. Ask your other half to stop bringing you chocolates. Speak up for the place with great salads when your co-workers are picking a restaurant for lunch. Whatever you need to do to succeed at weight loss, ask for it – make yourself a priority and assert yourself.
Fitness Tips

Improve your treadmill technique. When walking on a treadmill, don't grip the rails. It's fine to touch them for balance, but you shouldn't have to hold on. If you do, that might be a signal you should lower the intensity level.


Simon says... get fit. Here's an easy way to fit in exercise with your kids: Buy a set of 1lb weights and play a round of Simon Says – you do it with the weights, they do it without. They'll love it!


Make the most of your walks. If your walking routine has become too easy, increase your effort by finding hills. Just be sure to tackle them at the beginning of your walk, when you have energy to spare.


Shop 'til you drop... pounds! Add a workout to your shopping sessions by parking your car as far from the shop as possible, to get more walking in. And try walking up the escalator – getting to your destination faster will be an added bonus.


Walk an extra 100 steps at work. Adding even a little extra exercise to your daily routine can boost your weight loss. Today, take the stairs instead of the lift, or stroll down the hall to talk to a co-worker instead of sending an email or calling.
Lifestyle Tips

Brush your teeth after every meal and snack. This will be a signal to your mouth – and your mind – that it's time to stop eating. Brushing will also give your mouth a nice fresh taste that you'll be disinclined to ruin with a random crisp. At work, keep a toothbrush with a cover and toothpaste in your desk drawer.


Clean your cupboard! First, it's great exercise. Second, it's an important step in changing your attitude. Get rid of all the clothes that make you look or feel bad. Throw out anything that's too big – don't give yourself the option of ever fitting into those clothes again. Move the smaller clothes up to the front to help motivate you. Soon, you'll be fitting into those too-tight jeans you couldn't bear to part with.


Take your measurements. You might not like your stats now, but you'll be glad you wrote them down when you see how many inches you've lost. It's also another way to measure your success, instead of just looking at the scale. Sometimes even when the numbers on the scale aren't going down, the measurements on your body are.

Goodluck =D!
