My main goal is to lose fat. I do not want to gain mass so the only thing i do after cardio is an ab worout. I am not seeing any results I workout 4-6 times a week and I have been for ouver a month now and I have not lost any weight. I changed my eating a little less sugar and fat intake. Will doing cardio more than once a day do anything for me? Or should I try something else. Please help.

How long and how hard are you doing your cardio sessions? Also, what is your daily intake of food like? How often do you eat?

People here will be able to help you more if you provide your situation more clearly.:)

I usually do cardio for 20-45 min per day then abs and other weights on my 20 min session days. I eat 3 good meals a day then usually 2 snacks between meals. My downfall is sweets. I do not count calories so I really don't know how many i am eating.

Count your calories for a few days. If you are not losing then this will be your maintenance calories and you will need to reduce them by about 300-500 a day. Try making your weightlifting sessions more like 45 mins and do your cardio on opposite days, or separate from the wieghts. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn. and dont worry about putting on mass. It takes women years and dedication to do that. Also if yo are eating more than 50g of fat a day you should cut back on that too. Good luck.
