So I am by no means fat, but there's this last 5 pounds I've been trying to lose for quite some time now. Kind of want to lose it to bring out the abs I've been working hard on for the last couple months So currently I'm male-Asian 6"0 tall and approx 145 pounds (I range from 143-148). I'd say I bike about 8km (range from 5km-15km) a day Monday to Fridays and on the weekend I sometimes bike 5km. I go to the gym for about 1 hour every WEEKDAY and do about 4sets of 8-10 reps (heavier weights) and about 5-8 exercises (flat bench, barbell curl .etc) And my diet daily is...about 1500 I'd say. Usually its something like.......... Breakfast: Oatmeal(Quakers flavoured) 150 cal 2 Cups of fruit (usually watermelon, grapes, or cherries) Mid-Morning Snack: A medium piece of fruit- 50-100 (apple mango peach or pear) Lunch: Vegetables stir fry (mushrooms, baby carrots, spinach, some lean turkey breast) A couple pieces of marinated lean beef (:3 about the size of a eraser each) Snack: Another couple pieces of marinated lean beef Dinner: 100-200g of non-fat yogurt (35cal -100g) 1-2 cups of fruit (grapes or cherries) *About 1.5-3L of water a day + a couple cups of herbal tea (green or oolong) ..........this is actually the most annoying thing I've ever done ..........and I've kept it up ever since summer started and I lost only 1 mother freaking pound D:< So why am I not losing weight? -If it matters I was 190 pounds 5"11 about a year and a half ago :x

You're 6" weighing 145 pounds and you want to lose weight? You should be around 160.

maybe because 1500 calories a day is way under what you should be eating based on your height/activity level, so your metabolism has slowed down and thus you have reached a plateau. i'd say eat more and gain more muscle to boost your metabolism again

WTF you don't need to eat more or less, you're probably loosing body fat and winning pounds from muscles...

You're eating fruit, that's cool, but how about eating a real dinner? And you should be a bit heavier.

Eat a bigger dinner that has fish or meat, and have yogurt and fruit as desert.

That doesn't look like dinner. Put some lean meat or fish in that thar dinner. Also, perhaps you're gaining muscle weight? o.o Anyways, you're gonna need more protein in that diet to rebuild the muscles from that exercise.
