Hi everyone!
A few questions about my diet and workout routine!?!

First thing, I'm 5' 3", 24 years old, 134lbs. I started working out and eating clean mid August. Since then I have lost about 11 pounds (about 7.5 weeks, 145lb to 134lb), however, i'v seem to stop losing weight and I'm kind of at a plateau. I do know that muscle weighs more than fat, and I am definitely building muscle, however I cant seem to lose the excess fat. A few things you should know... :

1. I eat 1200 calories a day (give or take 50 to 100) on non work out days

2. I eat around 1500 calories a day on workout days

3. I juice 1 to 2 meals a day (I do my best to account for the calories and sugar intake and limit fruits, mostly veg). I eat 5 small meals a day (this includes the juicing). I stay away from breads, pastas, rice, etc. Usually eat 2-3 cups of spinach with lunch and dinner as my side dish and some kind of protein (ie. 4 oz salmon fillet, 4 oz chicken breast, etc). I eat oatmeal every morning (160calories) and a protein shake or nuts and raspberries pre work out.

4. I usually do a 3-5 minute warm up then do weight training (with dumbbells only) for 20 ish minutes about 2-3 times a week. Then I do Cardio (ie. treadmill or elliptical for about 20 minutes, then a 3-5 minute cool down).

5. My weight training work out consists of lunges, squats (both with 2 8lb dumbbells), and then 3-4 different arm workouts (10-12 reps, 3 circuits).

6. I drink approx. 64 - 80 ounces a day of water.

How should I adapt my meals or workout to lose more fat and get a more toned body??

THANK YOU!
