I dont know your stats but i can tell you - you are not eating enough to lose fat.
body needs 50cal/hour just for basic functioning (like when you are in coma) and thats 1200cal/day. If you deprive your body all you lose is water weight and muscle and slow down your metabolism
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

I don't count calories or fat intake because for me if I had to do that with every meal every day then I'd fail and go back to my old habits.

REDUCE - fat, sugar, alcohol and carb intake.
REDUCE - portion sizes.
INCREASE - small healthy meals throughout the day. If you're hungry between meals you're not eating enough. You should be eating enough of the right food that you feel satisfied all day.
INCREASE - water intake. Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger and eat when we should be rehydrating.

Your weight loss goal is reasonable.

Good luck!

i jog for about 15 minutes in my apartment i live in a busy, loud downtown area and can't find any comfortable jogging shoes that fit my wide feet.. and i also do about 30 minutes of leg lifts and crunches or sit ups.


drink a lot of ice water and eat mints in order to feel full also eat a lot fruit snacks like grapes, berries etc

only eat lean stuff for lunch and dinner and walk a lot after eating so that you can walk it off after eating i always try to walk it off, i am trying lose more weight as well


for breakfast eat malt o meal, oatmeal, or cream of wheat in order to feel full and to be able to not snack all day till lunch
