I cant lose weight no matter what i do?
I am 5'6 and weigh 11 stone 7lbs. I have been trying to lose weight for about 4 months now. I do 15 mins of stomach exercises (sit ups, crunches, etc) every morning and an hours cardio in evenings. I usually do an aerobics dvd but sometimes go for a jog or run on treadmill. I eat a maximum of 1200 calories a day.... Porridge or boiled eggs for breakfast, chicken or tuna wrap, baked potato or soup for lunch and meat or fish with potato or rice for dinner. I dont really snack but if i do its fruit or rice cakes. Im drinking 2l of water every day. So far i have lost 2lbs........ IN 4 MONTHS!!!! I know i have toned up and i can feel my stomach muscles but still have alot of fat on top on them. Im really getting frustrated with it and dont know what im doing wrong.
Should i visit my gp about it?

To lose weight you need to do AEROBIC (cardio) exercises on nearly a daily basis. This will initiate oxidative phosphorylation (fat burn) within the cells. Get your heart rate around 100-140 bpm for 1-2 hrs. *walking/anaerobic doesn’t do much weight wise.
You also need to reduce intake of sugars, bad carbs and saturated fats. Drink water. Eat healthy. Eating way too little can cause weight retention. You CANNOT lose weight in one specific part of your body, but rather evenly across the body. Counting calories? Just keep ‘em moderate and do the aforementioned.
Some examples of aerobic exercises are running, zumba, dance, hard swimming, p90x, insanity, sports et cetera. Get your heart a pumpin’.
It will take dedication but the payoff is well worth it. Easy things are not worthwhile.
Take care!

I suggest switching the cardio to the morning if possible. It'll increase your metabolism.
Maybe try switching up your workout routine a bit try yoga or pilates instead of solely stomach excercises.
Your diet is fine, maybe speak to your gp and ask if you can be tested for hypothyroidism. An underactive thyroid may be setting you back.

I can't really help a lot because i don't really know the circumstances but try cutting out white carbs for a bit and see if that helps,still eat wholegrain foods like oats,some bread,beans ect. So don't eat potatoes,white pasta,white bread. Eat lots of water rich vegies
