    Bumping for when the OP posts some more info

    ETA: OP, why do you think you need to lose more weight? Judging from your profile picture you are already at a very fit and healthy weight.

    @amyrebeccah you are right..... so here is the answers to your questions....

    1.MY stats: I worked out two months straight I lost 12 pounds from 156 to 144, and my stomach got flatter ( I do not know actual measurements because I could not take them) but I have relapsed since then and do not know my current weigh in.
    2. I started January 22
    3. what have I seen so far... lets see...
    stomach got flatter
    not much difference in muscle gain
    body toned up a bit
    4. At the gym: I have a routine so it looks like this
    mon- 1 hour of cardio (treadmill bike elliptical ,track etc) and 30 min ab workout
    Tuesday - 1 hour of strength training, 30 min of cardio
    Wednesday - muscle relaxation day so yoga/ Pilates and core workout then 1 hour of very light cardio i.e walking
    Thursday- 1 hour circuit training (aerobic type workouts)
    Friday- 1 hour of cardio
    Saturday- circuit training / abs
    Sunday rest day
    5.calories are about 1100 -1300 a day
    6. NO on the wighing and measuring food
    7. I love to run (treadmill or track workouts) , I love circuit training weight training yoga yoga yoga
    8. honestly I like to eat everything that's my problem -__- and im a new vegetarian 7 months now so its hard for me to find healthy meals without meat

    I think you're calories are much too low for the amount of activity. your body got accustomed to the low caloric intake so you've hit a plateau. Add more calories.

    Its counter intuitive but its better in the long run to increase the amount you burn rather than decrease the amount you consume.
