I have been eating around 1300 calories a day. I only drink water, tea, and an occasional juice. I eat lots of veggies and fruit. I don't eat red meat. I usually have grilled chicken.

Here are my workouts: I do them at least 4 times a week. Sometimes more.
1000 regular crunches
1000 bicycle crunches
100 situps
20 twist lungest each leg
20 kick lunges each leg
50 plie squats
50 pulsing plie squat things
50-100 back leg lifts each leg
100 sitting glute raise things each leg
100-200 desk dips
30 reverse pushups

I have been doing this for a long time, but haven't lost any weight. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks so much!!
One this is the "harsh truth" but I am not trying to be harsh just honest.

That routine is horrible. Scratch it, throw it away. You aren't going to get anywhere doing those exercises but breaking down muscle tissues especially in a deficit.

Routine-Full body 3 days a week. 6-8 exercises of compound full body movements. Get some weight, stop overtraining. Allow 1 day for rest at least between each workout.

Diet-1300 isn't THAT low for someone your size though I would still suggest bouncing your calories. I would wager you are not taking account exactly what you are taking in. You are either getting too little therefore your body will not release stores or you are getting to much and not in a deficit. You need protein with every meal and to work within a smart % or ratio of each nutrient.


You have been trying and training but you haven't been doing it right. Get yourself a good plan and a focused diet and I am SURE you will hit your goal. The smaller you are the harder and more focused you have to be, that is the "curse" of being so small in the first place.

Good Luck if you have anymore question post away.
