Can't lose weight
I cannot seem to lose weight. I eat very well (very few carbs- I eat either half a grapefruit or a small bowl of cereal with skim milk for breakfast, either an apple or a pice of turkey for lunch (something along those lines), and then a salad for dinner which I only use olive oil for dressing and very little non fat feta cheese). I also exercise almost everyday- i know its not very strenuous but i am not in great shape- I run 1.5/2 miles and then do weights and crunchs/planks etc.) However I cannot seem to get off of my weight of 135 at 5'4. I feel flabby, and not very toned but I cant seem to change my appearence. HELP!
THanks so much!

Eat more food!! When you don't eat enough for a long period of time your body goes into "Starvation Mode" Your convincing your body that your starving. Your body is producing more fat not loosing it.

You aren't eating enough. Though you are eating, it sounds like you aren't consuming more than 500 calories a day, putting your body in starvation mode. Your body is going to struggle to hold onto the weight you're trying to lose. Combine the half grapefruit and and bowl of cereal. For lunch have a hole turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch and have the apple as a snack. Put chicken, tofu, or a hard boiled egg on your salad for protein. You really should be eating more protein in general, especially if you want to tone up. Also, how long does your work out take? You should be working out for 30 minutes five days a week.
