- cardio and weights happen on mon,tue,wed,fri,sat
I do weights first and then i do cardio

- i change the type of cardio everytime.
Sometimes i run at 7.5/8 for 30min (interval). Sometimes i walk at 6.8 for 45min.
And sometimes cycling at 90-100rpm for 30min.

    2 sausages 1 egg (180kcal)
    Milk/fruit juice (120kcal/80kcal)
Lunch (12.30-13.30)

Okay, I think you could alter the body weight routine, assuming you're doing that at home and not a gym, then it's a case of still keeping it body weighted.

I don't think you'll need to do the body weight stuff and cardio together on 5 days of the week, so you could work it like this.

Day 1. Anaerobic workout

Day 2. Cardio

Day 3. Anaerobic workout

Day 4. Day off

Day 5. Cardio

Day 6. Anaerobic workout

Day 7. Day off.

As you're quite experienced at this now, you could go for something like this with the body weighted, anaerobic stuff

Squats, 3 sets 10 reps

Lunges, 3 sets 10 reps

Good mornings, 3 sets 10 reps

Vertical flyes, 3 sets 10 reps

Bent over rows, 3 sets 10 reps

Shrugs, 3 sets 10 reps

Planks 30-45 seconds.

If you have difficult with the planks using your forearms and toes, you can use the forearms and knees technique instead.

Then the two cardio days can be anything you want them to be.

This gives you adequate rest and you're not overworking yourself too much.

As for the diet, you're probably getting around 1,2 calories which is a bit too low as the body might think it's being starved and hold onto fat. You need around 1,800 a day if you're a sedentary female, but you're mostly active, so you could increase your calories.

I'd take the fruit out of the dinner and incorporate it into a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack scenarios

So you're snacks could be around 10:30 - 11:00 and afternoon 15:30 - 16:00

There are plenty of things you can use as full or partial snack options like microwave soups, rice and beaked beans, vegetables like pineapple, carrot sticks and celery sticks, fruits including cucumber and tomato, oat granolas, low fat / sugar yoghurts, bread, sandwiches, beef, turkey, chicken or ham from a packet, pre-boiled eggs, nuts, peanuts, low fat cheese and flax seeds.

As I say some of these make up snack options, some are components of snacks.

I would include a small snack around 20:00 and have your dinner around 17:00, your snack need only be around 150-200 calories, but if you're getting more in the way of around 2,000 calories a day I think that will be beneficial, especially as you should then be getting more of the bone nutrients your body needs, so you would be less likely to encourage bone thinning, as if you get bone thinning from inadequate amounts of some of those nutrients, then you have a problem where your bones could become intolerant to exercise and that increase fracture risk; whereas getting that nutrition would promote the possibility of bone density increase from the nutrition and also the effects of the body weighted exercise.

Hopefully all this makes sense, but if you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask :).

So that meant all the time I ate too less calories and that made body store fat right?
All I recognized during 2 months was that hip cellulite was gone, abs were taking form, legs were getting firmer.
But everytime I stepped on the scale, it depressed me. goal is it to weight around 60 kg so 7 kg to loose.
Thank you for your advice I'll start with the program you suggested me :-)

Eating too few calories can cause something called a "starvation mode", where the body hangs onto fat as fat is a secondary energy source, but the body could view it in certain circumstances as a more precious commodity that is less expendable.
