maybe you are eating more than you think or not burning as much as you think. sometimes those treadmills overestimate the calories you are burning and sometimes people underestimate how much they are eating. i'm just saying this because i have been eating between 1200 and 1500 calories a day and doing 30-45 minutes of cardio 5 times a week and i have lost 36 pounds in 5 months. if you have anymore questions or need advice feel free to email me.

It depends on how much you weigh now. Generally if you eat 8-10 calories per pound of your body weight and you exercise, you'll lose weight at a steady pace. 1500/8 = 187.5 pounds.1500/10 = 150 pounds. So if you eat a 1500 calorie diet and exercise as you describe, you should lose weight if you weigh 150 to 187 pounds and you'll have an even faster weight loss if you weigh more than 187 pounds. Drinking a lot of very cold water also helps because your body burns calories warming the water up to body temperature and the water helps flush out toxins released from fat cells as you burn the fat off. It might also help to split your treadmill workouts into two 20 minute sessions. Exercising increases your metabolism and your body continues burning calories at an elevated rate for some time after you finish exercising. By exercising twice a day you'll give yourself the advantage to two periods of elevated metabolism.
