I'm not arguing with you. I'm talking about the OP weighing herself not food. [/quote]

Just saying her answer was ambiguous as to whether it was kitchen scales or bathroom.

Now she has mentioned how much exercise she is doing, then 1.5hrs a day of jogging and a bit of aerobics isnt excessive imo. Its not going to transform her body though and has already been mentioned she needs to do some resistance training.

Its hard to say whether she should be losing or not without a look at an accurate diary.

Why are you working out twice a day?

Because I want to transform my body from being flabby to being toned and healthy and I also want to loose weight

You're not going to achieve your goal with cardio alone. Cardo is good for burning calories and muscular endurance, not hypertrophy. In order to tone your body you need to add anaerobic exercise to your program (working out with weights). If you're into the class exercises find a "women on weights" class, or a "boot camp" class if you can't find a weights class.

You CAN NOT viably tell how well a diet and exercise plan is going until AT LEAST a month from the start. Your body does all sorts of nutty things when you're first starting. Your cortisone goes up, water weight goes up and down, muscles pump, random things happen. It's just your body adjusting to the new workload. Don't change anything (except the type of exercise you're doing) until you get at least a month into it...except maybe eat more protein. Muscles need protein to tone/grow properly.
