Can't seem to lose weight, what else can I do?

I am 5'6" and I weigh 165 lbs. I always was a litlle chubby but when I started college last fall I gained weight fast. Now I want to lose what I gained and some more too. My goal weight is 135l bs. I eat healthy foods and exersize lots but I can't seem to lose weight. I know that muscle weighs more than fat and that I have gained some muscle but my measurements aren't changing either. I just don't know what to do, I know using laxatives is a bad idea but I am getting desperate.

    Eat a big breakfast

    It is interesting to note that 80 percent of the people who are overweight eat a small breakfast or none at all. Eighty percent of thin people eat a large breakfast. Your breakfast should consist of as much as you want of the following items. Everything listed should be organic. Apples, pears, berries, kiwis, pineapples, grapefruit, plums, peaches, prunes, figs, rye bread, raw butter (raw means not pasteurized and not homogenized), raw milk, plain yogurt (this means no sugar or fruit), wild smoked salmon, beef in any form as long as it’s organic, chicken in any form as long as it’s organic, lamb in any form as long as it’s organic, tuna, sardines, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, salsa, celery, carrots, any vegetable, potatoes in limited amounts, coffee in limited amounts made with pure water not tap water with raw milk or cream and raw evaporated sugar cane juice or honey as a sweetener, real tea (not tea in tea bags).

    Eat a huge salad at lunch & dinner

    I don’t care if your lunch is a cheeseburger, French fries, and a pint of ice cream, add to it a big, huge salad and eat that first. You’ll be amazed that you lose weight. The salad can contain anything you like as long as it is only vegetables and they are organic. The salad dressing should be organic olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, or organic vinegar. If you really want to speed the weight loss process use organic apple cider vinegar. Add some organic sea salt, fresh ground pepper, or some garlic for taste.

    How long have you been on a good food and exercise routine for?

    What kind of exercise are you doing?

    If you truly feel that you can't do better then go see a nutritionalist/personal trainer. They are so worth what they charge. Don't give up!

    Eat Healthy. Drink lots of water. Do not obsess about your weight. If you want something eat it, just do it in moderation.

    Keep up the good fight. Also fat trappers work. they are inexpensive at places like Freds and Dollar stores..

    Never eat after a certian time at night. It will kill the most diligent dieter's progress....

    Food makes fat . More important to what you eat , is how much you eat . keep cutting down until you get to your desired weight . You can't gain weight without eating too much food . You can't loose weight by eating .
