theres a big difference beteween weight loss and fat loss. WEIGHT is a number, from my understanding. Fat loss is what really matters.
what body type are you? just someone who naturally has a big frame, or has gone from being skinny to heavy, etc? Age also factors into this.
i went from lard to hard in a year with Tennis, Cardio and Weightlifting.
Sprinting does GREAT for cardio, but if you dont maintain it with Diet and Weights, it wont help.
You say you have a great diet, what kind of foods are you eating?
Diet is about 60% of this equation. It plays a big part in losing fat and weight. limiting Calorie intake is key(DO NOT starve yourself), and watch your carbs in the evening, eat carbs when you are most active. DO NOT starve yourself, lots of people do that and end up skinny/fat, i had that happen to me, not fun at all. Protein is something you want to get used to eating too, as it is a key factor in building muscle. Eat Healthy, wholesome foods, but dont make diet too complicated, that is a reason some people fail.
Bottom Line, your goal is to burn more calories then you take in
Cardio is 20% of this equation. Cardio burns calories
Cardio stregthens your heart muscle, making it do less work to pump more blood.
Cardio increases lung capacity. Get your heart rate up in the 140-160 range, or try something called HIIT cardio(google it)
Cardio builds endurance. Enough Said.
Weightlifting is the final 20% of this. It boosts your metabolism, builds your strength, and contributes just as much if not more than cardio to fatloss. It also builds muscle, which helps.
If you weightlift and eat nutritious foods, and do cardio at 3-5 times a week, I bet that you will achieve your goal
Also, you will probably go up on the scale, considering that muscle weighs more than fat.
