    After doing some research this afternoon, I think I'm going to make the following changes:
    - Decrease my carbohydrate intake from 200-250g/day to under 150g/day
    - Increase my strength training from 2x/week to 3x/week

    I'm not sure how the lower carb diet will affect my cardio, but after reading a bunch of stuff today, I'm willing to bet that it'll help me lost more fat. I think over-carbing is what I've been doing wrong (typical vegetarian diet mistake!)

    Does anyone else have any other input?

    I was going to recommend a similar change. I didn't read the entire thread, would you consider adding a soy protein powder to increase your protein intake? As for the carbs, well try not to eat 'carbs out of a box', they'll be highly refined.

    Good luck.

    @markpmc, I actually purchased Nutvia hemp protein powder to add protein shakes to my daily regime :)
