I want to get lean!!

Hey guys, I was wondering the best way to trim down, so I look leaner.

I have gone from 200 lbs to about 140 lbs in a couple of months, but now my weight loss has seemed to slow down a ton the last month. I was stuck at 146 lbs for about a month, but finally got past it about a week ago when I started taking the protein shakes.

My diet consists of:

BKF: Protein shake and a cup size of Special K w/ skim milk
Snack: A bowl of fruit
Lnch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich or Tuna
Post Workout: Protein shake
Dinner: Usually either Beef tips, Pasta, or Chicken
Bed: Protein Shake

I get around 1500 kal a day and do cardio for 45mins and weight train everyday on a different muscle group each day.

Any help with where I might be going wrong or how I can improve on my diet would very helpful. I am really trying to get down to around 135 lbs by end of August before I go on my trip.

you lost a pound per day?

60 lbs in 2 months!? wow.

Thats about a pound a day.

Why are you so keen to lose 5 more pounds? I'm pretty sure you'll look like an ethiopian.

Have you seen Christian Bale in the Machinist. He went from 200 to 135 by eating an apple a day and smoking cigarettes. He looked starved.

Hey can we see some pics please???????????????

Lol whoops I should have been more specific. I started to finally exercise everyday since February of this year. By the end of May and toward the start of June I had lost 50 lbs. Since June though I have barely been able to lose the weight I would like too.

As far as pics go, I need to set my Camera up and get that going, so I should have pics on here sometime soon I hope.

I still look like I can lose another 10-15 lbs or so and tone up a little more. My main deal is to try and get leaner and get some definition going.

I'm not to sure on what to eat or how many calories I should be having, but I guess if I am putting on muscle it is ok to maybe eat a little more. 1500 kal a day seems to have been working for me up until now. Any tips?
