Diet yes.
Exercise i know I could do better. I do two days of cardio and two days of weight training. I guess I am really going to have to up the cardio!!!

do you know about how many calories daily you're taking in?

No! I would guess 1800. I need to count a weeks worth though to get a better idea.

1800 is a lot i think....i cant say how much u weigh but usually if u wanna lose weight u should only be taking in between12 to 1500 calories per day

Bagels are really really bad for you ... they're about 500 calories in just the bagel itself (plus whatever you spread on top of it) i'd try to stay away from those

Weight loss is 90% nutrition, 10% exercise. The wy I lost my weight was by really watching my food...I only wenmt to the gym 3 times a week for weights and cardio!
How tall are you? And if you don;t mind my askin, what's your weight? 1800 might be too many calories for you.
Ditch the bagel...go for whole grains like oatmeal (im not talking the cinnamon roll kinds though...plain oats!) Add some protein in there as well!
Eat 5-6 small meals a day. A typical day for me will include (now granted I am only 5 ft tall so this might not be enough food for you!)
Egg whites/ 1 packet of oatmeal
Salad with lean ground turkey and one serving of special k crackers
1 Reduced fat string cheese and low carb cracker (they are called ak mak..I love them!)
Salad, Asparagus, shirataki noodles and grilled chicken
Protein Shake or protein pancake!
I will often add in rice cakes or some other small snack if i feel hungry or if my calories are low for the day. I track EVERYTHING...I weigh my food and measure so that I know exactly how much I am eating! This was the only thing that worked for me!
HTH...fm with any questions...i am very into nutrition and fitness and would love to help!

Thank you girls for all of your help. I guess I have been focused on the workout part but not the eating! No more bagels for me and I am going to track everything I eat!!! I need you ladies to hold me accountable!!!

exercise is good but if you're overeating there's no way you can exercise it all off unless you spend half your day or more at the gym. exercise IN ADDITION to reducing calories.
and dont exercise and then be like 'well i exercise so i can have this MUFFIN!' cuz you know, counterproductive. might as well stay home and not exercise if you do that.

Here I am
I agree with Dianna.......I don't think you're eating enough. Increase your protein and fiber intake and maybe add some extra snacks in during the day. And drink LOTS of water.
And I also agree with Lauren - weight loss is 80-90% what you eat.......you CAN lose weight without exercise. I lost 30 pounds without exercise, so it can be done.

Bagels are deceiving!! There is no good bagel. I say switch your breakfast to eggs or cereal if you need the carbs, try kellogs k or something high in fiber like Kashi, will fill you up. I would take out the cheese too. These small things have helped me, watch carbs and dairy. Good luck!
