Here's one: http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/ Don't get trained by just any random gym guy, chances are he'll be badly misinformed. Do you have a power rack? You'll need one for safety and to do squats.

Carbs are pretty important for endurance running, so maybe not.

Is your goal strength, hypertrophy (big muscles), or some combination of both?

Read this: http://www.acaloriecounter.com/blog/why-am-i-not-losing-weight/ Get a food scale, measure and log everything.

Starting Strength is a great resource for technique. The program is more daunting for beginners, IMO. The nutrition advice is just silly, ignore it. There's some old school mysogeny and homophobia in there as well.

It's been a week, folks. Don't do anything drastic yet, don't spend any money, give it some time.

It's too early.

Best to weigh it by the serving with a food scale.
-
Always stretch (if you stretch) after warming up to prevent injury. Generally, stretching isn't necessary for strength training. Some exercises (like barbell squats) require some flexibility. You can improve yours by warming up or practicing with body weight, an empty bar, or low weight. Some people like to stretch…

How will regularity improve ab visibility? Please explain. Caloric deficit, not low fat intake, will produce fat loss.
-
If you are not open to weight training, then your only other option is to lower your body fat. For that you need a calorie deficit. As others have said, there is no other form of exercise that will achieve your cosmetic goal.
-
Tofu, it's better than you think. Google some recipes. And abs are made by a calorie deficit, clean or dirty doesn't matter if visible abs are the goal.

Skipping breakfast causes diabetes? That's one I've never heard before. I don't think so, sorry.

Barbell squats, dead lifts, bench press. Heavy weight, low reps. Body weight crunches etc won't do much.
-
That could explain in part people with "fast metabolism" who seemingly eat all they want and never gain an ounce as opposed to those who get a little paunch when they get older or gain a freshman 15 etc. As far as the obesity epedemic and more serious weight problems, though, I don't think that would be a significant…
-
The HBO documentary presents it as established fact and implies it is an incontrovertible consequence of obesity. If you have ever been obese then you are more or less doomed to a life of starvation. If it is primarily NEAT related, that seems manageable. Hardly a permanent obstacle.

Soda is sugar water, it can add up fast. Do you log everything? Do you use a food scale?
-
I wonder if the change in TDEE in those studies is attributable in part to the loss of lean body mass that accompanies most weight loss?
-
Low weight/high reps is a waste of your time, relatively speaking. It's better than nothing, but basically that is cardio by another name. If your goal is fat loss then HIIT and lifting heavy are your best bet. If you have an athletic goal then more intensive training makes more sense, but you need to take the time to…

1199 calories will put you in starvation mode. 1200 calories is fine, though, no worries. Just kidding, starvation mode is a myth. Your scale is just fluctuating.
-
Buy a food scale, weigh everything. Make sure your calories are calculated for your current weight.
-
Many myths in this thread http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_xNbVMmIA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZG_xNbVMmIA Up your sodium intake for much of this OP.

Wow. Now I know why Olympic marathoners are so fat. Seriously, running will burn the same calories after 2 weeks or twenty years.
