    diet for weight control; exercise for fitness. your ratio of cardio to resistance training should be dependent on your fitness goals, not your weight loss goals. as a matter of general fitness, a 50/50 split is optimal...more specific fitness goals would dictate otherwise.

    Thank you all for your responses. I do understand that in order to lose weight there needs to be a calorie deficit. I am going to work on being more consistent with weighing and measuring my food. It is good to know that my workout routine actually makes sense. I have always had trouble losing weight and I wondered what I was doing wrong, so it is clear that the problem is my calorie intake only. I didn't think that it was this difficult for others to lose weight on 1200 calories per day, but if I actually stuck to that number I am sure I would see results. Thank you again.
