This is really frustrating me lately and if any of you can offer advice I'd be much appreciated...
I am currenty at 5'3.5" and weighing in at 128lbs which I think is WAY to heavy for me to become a dancer like I want. I joined Weight Watchers to regulate my eatting and have been going for about 10 weeks now and find I FEEL 10 times better when I'm on the diet then when I'm off and I can manage to curb the cravings for sweets and "munchies". When I'm not on this 100% though the cravings come back.
This diet is basically
-drink 2 liters of water a day
-drink 2 cups of milk (or equal serving of a dairy product) a day
-eat five servings of fruits or vegetables a day
-take a multivitamin every day
-include 2 teaspoons of a "healthy" oil
-exercise everyday and get a certain amount of "exercise points" a week
I've been going to the gym for the last 3 weeks as well and I usually stay for at least two hours (the staff all know me by name). 15-30 minutes of cardio activity (usually 30), then about an hour doing either arms and abs or legs and abs, then 30-45 minutes of more cardio. I guess I'm really impatient but I haven't seen results other then my biceps getting just slightly bigger. The cardio I do usually burns at least 150 calories per machine I use and I use two normally for 30 minutes each, the recumbant bike and the treadmill.
I usually walk but I tried to start running and I can't! I can't do the olliptical either, what's up? Running would burn more calories then waking right, so that's good but why can't I run for more then like 2 minutes? I grew up around second hand smoke, could that be why I can't breathe or am I really more out of shape then I thought? How can I get to running so I can reach my goal faster? Is my diet why I can't seem to lose any weight or am I too impatient? What should I do?

Edit: On a similar note, how do you figure out what your body fat percentage is?
