Loosing weight but not inches? - General

I'm almost convinced that I can not cut fat. I've been on a diet for almost 3 months now, eating 1400 calories a day when I'm not active, and more when I am. I walk 40 minutes a day to and from school, and then for another hour or so when with friends, I lowered my Soda intake quite a bit, and when I do drink soda, it's diet, I went to skim milk as well. I Jog every so often. I've gone from 36 inches around the belly to about 35, and went from a size 33, to 32. That was 3 months of this. I was about 165 when I started, now I'm 153, but the visual differences are very little. What am I doing wrong? I also work a Grocery store job 15-20 hours a week, always on the move.

[editline]13th March 2011[/editline] [B]also PLEASE post stuff like this in the weightlifting bodybuilding thread :3 plz[/B]

[QUOTE=Casusv3;28574816]whats your diet like[/QUOTE] Morning: High Fibre cereal, skim milk. And Water. Lunch, Rye Bread, Honey ham, cheddar cheese, and Margerine. Apple, Granola bar And more Water. Dinner: My Mom makes dinner, no TV dinners or shit like that, usually home made everything, salads, with some breaded chicken and eggs. It varies every week. I've been counting my calories every single day for the past 3 months, The average intake of calories is about 1450.

~more meat, less food and keep at it ~
