Describe your cardio:
How much?
How often?
Is it in the fat burning zone?

Do you take EFAs?
Lastly, would you consider Ephedra or Clen ?

Oh and this is likely also hurting your efforts, as it's only prescribed for overeaters. If you're not one, then you could have actually turned your metabolism (fat burning furnace) down. If you're not getting enough calories your body won't touch fat because it shifts to starvation protection mode, which harbors fat.

You are doing a lot of cardio. Good for cutting not good for keeping or building muscle. Do not do cardio after a workout. you need your protein then. I am cutting also. I am trying to cut fat and save muscle. Hard to build it at same time, if it's possible. I do cardio three times a week for 40 mins on elliptical so I can monitor my heartrate. I am eating ~2400 cals a day and was losing strength but that has stopped. I am down 18lbs. since last week in Jan. I am also taking a ECY which suppresses my appetite so I have to force feed myself. Limit shakes to PWO and maybe Casein before bed. Listen to the people here they helped me and will help you also.
