Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I’m a fourteen, fifteen in September, year old female. My height is 5′6. I’m hoping to lose about 10 or 15 pounds in a relatively short amount of time. I currently weigh 120 pounds. I usually walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill for at least 5 days a week. I only consume around 1000 calories a day, but I’m having trouble losing weight. I mostly need to lose it in my stomach area, and I would really enjoy slimming down my arms (triceps mostly). Any advice?
Answer: Sounds like you might benefit from an extra daily training session, if not more walking then perhaps a "core" focused exercise workout like Pilates or Yoga. Something will help trigger those muscles into action that are being missed in your walking sessions (There are also some great arm related exercises/positions that might help with your tricep areas)
Also, personally not sure why calorie consumption is 1000 (I would have thought 1200 what be a better fit for you). Starving your metabolism with a restricted calorie intake will send your body into survival mode, thus storing that unwanted fat not releasing it … but thats just me 
try walking/jogging more, like 2-3 times a day (30min each) that might help. more CARDIO
imo

You don’t need to lose ANY weight. Stop looking at magazines and watching TV. Your BMI is 19.4 and that is very good. Losing 10 - 15 pounds will make you too thin and being underweight is unhealthy.
