Losing Weight without losing muscle (the little I have)

FYI its only been 2 weeks and I went from a cool 180 to 175.2.

Update: I just started the snacking thing I had been advised to do today, and I can really see how it works. I've eaten 4 times today, and I've only eaten 950 calories. by the time dinner rolls around, I'll only be hungry enough for a small meal. I'll be able to keep at 1,800 - 2,000 calories per day with this program.

Less worried about muscle gain than weight loss. Will look into it, though.

The walk is really just for leisure. It's my mom's exercise, I just go because we can talk and it's nice out. But hey, it's gotta count for something.

And I'm implementing the 4 mile runs 3 times per week program. For whatever reason, I find the elliptical workouts very unsatisfying, although the natural motion is much easier on my knees.

elliptical is the best workout at the gym, half an hour will burn 500 calories.

Probably has all been covered, but I'll throw some things out there:

The best thing to lose weight and burn fat fast is HIIT. That is an acronym for High Intensity Interval Training. Sprint, jog, sprint, jog etc. Even twenty seconds of sprinting is a good start when it comes to starting your workout. It's easiest to do this training on any track, local high school or what not. Sprint the straight aways, even just one of them, and jog the other 300M.

Aside from that, your diet is on point. Protein intake is crucial, try to eat one gram of whey per lb. of your body weight so you don't lose mass. Drink lots of water and stay focussed.

It's amazing how you can see results even after just one month with some dedication and hard work.
