    i workout about 4-5 times a week, mostly cardio at the gym with some weights in between. and hot yoga 2 times a week.
    I always look like an idiot making up my own gym routine (i have read its best to vary your workout ie. 15 cardio, a little arms, 15 cardio a little abs, etc....)

    any suggestions on gym routine?? also what you recommend for the best weight training moves?? any info would be lovely!!

    Hi Nate. I am 56 years old, and recently lost 30 pounds doing Jenny Craig, and have kept it off for more than 18 months. I started going to the gym at the beginning of this year. I was never much of an exercise person, but decided that I wanted to firm up --- better late than never!! Anyways, I do cardio 4-5 times a week, 60 minutes each (Piloxing, Zumba, Cardio kickboxing, Water Aerobics) and sometimes just walking/running the treadmill. I faithfully journal in MFP and have myself on 1200 calories a day ( I would like to lose about 5 more pounds). The problem is, I'm not seeing a weight loss at all. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Someone suggested that I'm not eating enough calories on the days I exercise. If I burn 500 calories, am I supposed to be eating those calories? What should I be eating? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I wanna know If I'm on a good track, I do good workouts through out the week
    Started P90x2 Monday
    on top of that I go to Gym 4 times a week for at least 2 hours
    at least one hour of cardio a day.

    However I'm not sure if I'm eating too much or not enough.
    Sometimes It tells me that I should eat more so body does not go to starvation mode (that red warning)
    but what I eat through out the day gets me pretty full
    any help would be appreciated Thank you so much.(side note food wise I am on a budget recently so I try to work with what I can)
