I weigh 165 and my goal is 135?

I work out 500 cal a day from the treadmill and eat healthy foods everyday, so when should I see the 135 on the scale? It seems like its taking forever for the pounds to shed
Answer:
i think you are undereating.
dont count calories burned since there is no way you could know it precisely - count time doing cardio.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

How many calories do you consume a day? Its impossible to answer without more information.

I really cant answer that for you because everybody is different..but I had similar goals and it took me about 3 months to achieve my goal...but I followed thru strictly with my diet and excercise. you might already do this...but a lil tip read throughly the nutrinional facts label on food...sometimes what you may think is healthy is not

Basically, you need to reduce your calorie intake every week or work out more every week to get rid of more calories to get the results your looking for. Go to mypyramid.gov; it has a lot of valid info that can help you. You can see how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight or lose weight and how much you need to exercise. It's worth exploring! I love it.

It is unhealthy to eat less than 1000 calories per day, your body is not getting enough calories to be properly nourished.A healthy amount of weight to lose is no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week.As far as your goal weight, your own individual healthy weight depends on your height and frame size. Look up "healthy weight caculators" online, there are a bunch of them. Try a few to get an idea of how much you should weigh. Sometimes when people are doing everything right and can't lose, it's because they are already at or near a healthy weight for their body.Here is a good calculator:http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exerci...
