want2belean

Hi, I am a 41 YO women, who I can honestly say has not had a wieght problem in my life, but i recently quiet smoking and wanted to get in better shape. Even though I am not OVER WIEGHT, I do have have body fat and want to loose it. I am obviously not doing something right bc its going on a month and half and I have not lost 1 1lb. I go to the Gym about 3 to 4x a week for 30-60 minutes, I have changed my eating habits, not ridiculously drastic but changed up a great deal. Does anyone have expert knowledge on loosing body fat and getting lean. I know i am probably not strict enough, I eat lots of protien, try to eat as less carbs and fats as possible and only eat the good carbs and fats. Need advise..

#1. open your diary so we can see what you are eating
#2. how many of these healthy fats/carbs are you eating? our bodies need more than you think.
#3. what do you do at the gym? do you do any weights or only cardio?
#4. do you have ways of measuring your progress other than a scale?
#5. how much are you aiming to lose?

I'd start with the basics personally (though I'm not a pro, I've certainly done plenty of research and so far know what works for me and when it's not working, why it's not working )....

What are your calories in vs calories out and how do you track them?

You diary isn't public, so people can't offer quite so useful advice on your personal situation.

I made my diary public, hopefully that will help. Maybe pro was not the accurate word, I just needs something to get me going to feel like i have made progress.
