Is there any way to determine how many calories I am burning at 5'5" and 128 pounds. I have gotten into a routine where I do the cardio portion of the wedding video (on the highest Reebok Step setting) on Mondays and Fridays, the strength portion of the wedding video with 4 pound weights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Cardio Kicks on Wednesdays and a one hour Kickboxing class on Saturdays. Sundays is the strength portion of the wedding video again and my Reebok Step video with 1.5 pound wrist weights and the step set on high. I also walk 1.5 miles at a rate of 4 miles an hour at least 3 days a week. I am now 8 weeks into this routine (was all cardio until 2 weeks ago when I incorporated the strength portion)and I have lost NO weight! I do see some minor changes in my appearance, but no where near the results I would have hoped to see. My typical diet is a low fat high fiber oat bran muffin, salad or soup or a wrap sandwich for lunch, fruit, and dinner is either a lean cuisine (when my chef husband is working... sad isn't it?) with extra veggies or a salad, if the ubby is home it's usually a low-fat meal, fish, rice, veg and a sweet (low fat cookies or yogurt). On the weekends I will have a couple of alcoholic beverages (a glass of wine with dinner and maybe a seabreeze...)
Any advice. I realize that I may be building muscle -- therefore the scale will not be going down, but I feel better and look better closer to 120 pounds -- I have a small frame and am very "pear" shaped, so I really need to watch my figure as you all know where any weight shows up on someone like me!
Thanks,
