why is it so hard for me to lose my belly fat, i exercise and eat healthy?

i''m 19, female.
currently weigh 140lbs standing at 5''2
so I have over weight for my height..
i used to be 120 2 years ago, and im trying really hard to get back to my old weight
I eat very small portions, breakfast i''ll eat oatmeal with some fruit or a fried egg (depending if i have time or not)
lunch and dinner usually goes (a small salad, fruit, salmon, avocado/tomatos/onions) and its in very small portions. I don''t drink anything else besides water.
I work out every other day, doing 40 min of cardio, and I do squat training and ab work outs.
But i don''t seem to be getting ANY results. although its only been two weeks, I don''t feel or see ANY progress, I haven''t lose even one pound yet and its just so discouraging and i don''t know what i''m doing wrong. I haven''t eaten this healthy my whole life and Im always hungry but i still fight it. any tips? pleaseeee!!

Dance To Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
If you keep doing what your doing one day you will wake up and realize the weight just dropped, sometimes that''s how it works. Skip the fried egg, boil a bunch of eggs and keep them in the fridge, then you can eat them when you are hungry. Eat apples, bananas, celery carrots. Drink lots of water, and don''t be afraid to throw down a cup of coffee in the morning. Does help curve the appetite!

• Drink green tea and walk or jog every day.
• You probably don''t see a difference because you see yourself every day. It is a possibility, when I lost the 10 pounds, I saw no difference. People have told me I have gotten skinnier though. Maybe you aren''t losing even a pound yet because you''re gaining muscle. Squats are very good for you, they also have you gain muscle easily though. At least for me, I got muscles in my legs after about 2 months of them. They can help make your legs skinnier, and bigger. Skinnier from side, bigger from front though if you have muscles. They weigh more than fat too (muscles), so that might be why. If you''re doing crunches, you might want to stop. Those damage your spine. You can''t spot reduce, you have to lose weight overall. Good luck!
• When your hungry your body holds on to fat. Try weight lifting and less cardio and eat more food so that your not hungry but eat healthy food so instead of fried egg..do boiled egg and take the yellow out...drink a lot of water and try apple cider vinegar. Get Jillian Michal 6 week.6 pack. :-)
• Over the course of two weeks it would be a miracle to see results- you''d really only lose about 1-3 pounds, maybe a bit more which isn''t enough to really SEE results. It might be visible to others but to the person who is actually losing the weight it''s really hard to see. A couple years ago I lost a lot of weight however I didn''t notice- I thought I looked the same but people kept telling me how much thinner I looked.
  
  Just hang in there. It takes a bit before you really see the results of your hard work, and it''s worth it!
• here is a list of foods you should be eating
  
  tuna, salmon, chicken breast, lentels, brown rice, rye bread, yams oatmeal, chicken breast, beef, eggs
  nuts, fruits,
  
  and you need to workout 4-5 days a week
  30-40 mins of cardio
  an 60 mins of weight training
• theres 3 possible reasons:
  
  1. your workout isnt intense enough
  2. your diet is wrong (you''re either eating too little or too much)
  3. you''re not getting enough rest
  
  most of the time, the problem for people would be their diets. many think they''re eating how they should but most arent dieting correctly
