Yes, that sounds good. I think you can even add one more snack if you need it. Another thing you can do is mix up your cardio sometimes. Instead of doing the elliptical everyday, go outside for a fast walk for 30 min. If you have any hand weights, it would be great to incorporate some weight bearing exercises into your routine. Having extra muscle helps your body burn more calories. Good luck and keep up the good work!Health Question & Answer
If you could keep that up it would certainly loose you weight. But the question is, can you keep it up for the 70ish dayishs it would take for you to lose that weight.? If you can, that's great, but think about maybe taking every 3rd day off from your diet and breaking even in calories that day.
also, crunches give you a pretty belly, but they don't burn that many calories. Keep in mind when losing weight you want to focus on calories most.
Oh, and to get the 70ish days. I'd guess a 5'1 woman would burn about 2350 calories doing what you're doing (maybe more, depending on your day today life). There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat, and your diet and exercise would keep your metabolism up. So I did 25(pounds) / ((2340ish - 1150ish)\3500).
Okay sounds great, but keep it up!Health Question & Answer

I think the 1st 2 questions are BS... Anyway you diet plan looks good, you're getting just about enough calories. But it also depends on how much you used to consume and how much less you're consuming and how much you're losing working out. Just remember 3500 calories is equal to 1 pound. So if you're consuming that much less a week + losing them through your workouts you can lose 1 pound a week. If you want to lose 25 pounds thats 25 weeks. But if you cut your calories by 3500 a week and yyou're burning like 1500 a week in your workouts thats a pound and a half a week and it will take you about 19 weeks.. You can get the idea now :) Good luck!Health Question & Answer
