Im about 140lbs 5'5". I have been counting my calories and eating very healthy I wont go over 1500 calories a day. My exercise is about 30-40 minutes cardio and thats it. Will just that help me lose weight or is it a waste of time? Should I incorporate weights? I wanna lose about 10 lbs. HELP!

Do a little bit more cardio because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat so go for 45min 4-6 times a week.
do some light weight training - high reps, 2-3 sets.
cardio burns fat and muscle - both- so you have to do weight training to tone up instead of losing muscle because more muscle means faster metabolism.

I think you're fine with your routine. Throw in some weights because, well, I love weight lifting... but it's great for inbwtween cardio workouts!
Be patient about the weight loss thing too.

What you're doing is great! Incorporating some weights would be beneficial though, as it would help you lose fat rather than lean muscle mass. Keep up the great work though!

Get the e book, "The Zone" by utilizing Barry Sears. it will permit you be attentive to approximately carbs, fat, and protein. you certainly might desire to eat a stability of the three. this is a lot extra suitable to eat 5 cases an afternoon, each and each meal the comparable length, fairly than one massive one and a couple of small ones. Carbs are sugar, and saved on your physique as fat as quickly as they're digested. you may desire to eat fat too, yet fat does not make you fat. Carbs make you fat.
