hi /fit/
I'm a girl. I'm somewhere betweet 5'2" and 5'3", and weight roughly 160 lbs, give or take a few pounds. My main ares of concern are my tummy, my thighs, and my boobs [they're much too big, and i'm already having back problems at 16]. I figure they're mostly fat, anyhow.
So, so far I've been cutting my daily calorie intake significantly, replacing all sugary drinks like soda and lemonade and certain vitamin waters with just water, and occasionally some green tea. I eat breakfast everyday, and also take a multi vitamin. I've been working out each day, a 30 minute walk going [according to what my treadmil says] 3.3 mph, and then doing situps [the amount varies, but it's never less than 20]

So my question is, will I see any results from this at all? I just recently started working out, but if there's something that I could do that works better, please say so. :3

pic unrelated, but i needed a picture.

heres a tip, get your bodyweight in g of protein, ie 160g of protein a day. it will help you build lean bodymass, burns fat better, and fills your up more.

women often fall short on meeting protein needs and simply by doing this you will see a big benefit.

Don't create too huge of a calorie deficit. Cutting out coke is a good first step. Use this calculator:

It basically tells you how much your deficit should be and stuff. Also, don't get too obsessed with counting calories. I did when I was losing weight, and I ended up getting anorexia nervosa.

retarded advice. You don't need that much protein as a non-bodybuilder female.

Count your calories to get an idea of how much you're eating every day. You're definitely on the right track but for all you know you could be eating 3000 calories a day right now. Write down your foods.

Well, I'm not obsessivelt counting calories. I just eat what I usually eat, but in smaller portions, and replace all my sweet, sugary snacks with healthier things. My doctor told me I should be getting 1600-1800, which I am. And I've pretty much cut out fast food products.

you have some work to do, not all of it exercise.

first, target 1500-1800 calories per day. so you're gonna have to plan your meals accordingly. use google to check up nutrition levels. i would advise about a 50-30-20 % mix of protein-fats-carbs. i'm recommending really low on carbs intentionally because you need to watch those.

break your meals up evenly. i'll say 3 minimum per day although more would help. not a tiny-tiny-big or something like that. 700 cal-600cal-500cal might be one way to do it.

next walk more. now that you've got basics of 30 min out of the way, move up to 45 min daily. and you should be moving fast enough that you cannot talk comfortably while walking.

forget the sit ups. focus on aerobics. start doing push ups. cheat if you have to (push ups from your knees) but just do them. they will get easier. 50 a day. then add them once you can do 50 easily. don't complain. if you lose 30-40 lbs, you'll have some loose skin. do you want it to hang, or want to tighten it with some lean muscle underneath? your choice.

Walking 30 minutes a day is a good start, but jogging for 45 minutes would do you a lot more good.
