Hello /fit/. I'm 5'5 and 130 lbs. I've lost fifteen pounds since the beginning of this year (although the actual fat loss was more than that because I built up muscle over time as well). Having always been the fat chick in school, I'm in the best shape of my life right now. However, I'm not in the best shape possible - there's still fat that I can stand to lose, and I obviously want to keep doing resistance work so that the muscle I gained stays.

Right now, my exercise is as follows:
3 sets of 10 tricep dips
2 sets of 5 pushups
3 sets of 40 crunches
5 sets of 5 SQUATZ (I don't have a dumbell with a long bar, so I use hand weights)
I know that it's rather wimpy, but I'm focusing on burning fat right now rather than building muscle.

For cardio, I alternate daily between 30 minutes of running, 30 minutes of swimming, or 15 minutes of HIIT on an elliptical, sandwiched between 2 periods of 5 minutes at a steady pace.

Is there anything that I should be changing in order to help me continue losing fat and maintaining muscle?

Pic unrelated, but awesome.

stop doing so much cardio. limit it to maybe 4 times a week at most. it will burn off a lot more muscle than fat giving the illusion you lost "weight". don't care about how heavy you are, just focus on decreasing your BF%. Also are you sure your diet is up to snub? Maybe you aren't eating as healthy as you should for your size.

OP don't listen to this guy, seriously.

Cardio won't "burn off your muscle".

Thanks. I assume you mean that the plan looks a-okay?

Sounds fine. Stick with it. Watch your diet as that HIIT can increase your appetite.
