Hello! I am new here and don't really know where to begin. I don't really feel like I belong here, but I'm going to ask a few questions anyway. First I'll start with a little background. I am a 25, 5'4", 125 lbs. I am a stay at home mother of a 5 & 3 year old. I lost 50 lbs about 2 years ago with little problem, but gave up after hitting a plateu. I have been working out again for about 6 weeks and trying to eat right. I bought a treadmill 2 weeks ago and have been walking/jogging 5 days a week for 35 min. I also have been fumbling around with the weights trying to figure out a routine.

I do not belong to a health club nor do I see that anywhere in the near future. I have never taken supplements. I am on a budget.

So, with that in mind here are a few questions.
In my nutritional profile it says that i should be eating 1668 calories, 20g of fat, 250g of carbs and 125g of protein. Is this really possible? What is it that I'm supposed to eat? And also, if I were to choose a supplement, which one? (it may help to know that my goal is to lost body fat)

Thanks for listening!
