I do weights(30 min) and cardio(30 min) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays & only cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays(60 min). The thing is I haven't lost any pound so far although I am getting firmer. I am kind of frustrated ~~~~~I really want to shed off some pounds and get rid the ugly fat thing around my stomach and upper arms. Anybody out there could help me out ~~~please~~~

Good luck! -------------- WISE MAN SAY: ONLY FOOLS DON\'T LIFT

Recently I read somewhere on the web, which said eating too much fruit prevent fat loss~~so I cut down fruit intake since then. " you need to SERIOUSLY look at your diet and eating habits..." but how ~~~?? oh by the way~I'm new here.Thanks again.

Look through some diets under the nutrition section (on the yellow bar at the top of the page), and also look at some posts under the 'diets' and 'nutrition' on the discussion board. -------------- WISE MAN SAY: ONLY FOOLS DON\'T LIFT

As jdelts said look real hard at your diet, as there are probably some areas that could be fine tuned. Also if you are feeling as if you are getting firmer, then you have probably lost inches thus suggesting things are working. Stay off the scales as muscle weights more than fat. Judge by how your cloths are fitting, or get a measuring tape or good calipers to measure. Fill out your profile. Might want to adjust your work out plan a little to. Change it up. Cut back on Cardo lift more, and give yourself time to rest.
