    Default how long till results start showing?

    and by results I mean a less flabby stomach and smaller thighs. =P
    I already play ~1.5 hrs of tennis three times a week and I've been running 2.5 miles every day. I try to keep calories under 800.

    Other info: I am 5'7 and 130 lb.
    Thanks

    EDIT: So I started eating around 1000 calories. To kinda "test the waters" I guess. And I gained 3.5 lbs in a day.

    It depends on your body. You should have results after a few weeks with the exercise, don't expect perfect abs right away tho lol.

    If you don't eat much and do a lot of exercise your body will store fat and your metabolism will slow down. 800cals is not enough for that much exercise...go up to 1200 cals.

    It really depends on your metabolism, but I agree 800 cals is low so you will hit a plateau, and your weight won't budge, try to varie from one day to another with 1000 cals a day and 800 cals another

    If you eat only 800 calories a day, even without exercise, your body will use your muscles for fuel - you might lose pounds for a while but remember, muscle burns calories more effectively. And how are you going to get a flat, toned tummy if you have no abs?
    You should eat at least 1200 calories, even a little more won't hurt even if it seems scary.

    what they said. pathetic amount of cals if you want a fit and healthy body.
    you're doing lots of cardio, but i don't see any kind of toning exercises going on. you want to build up that muscle with strengthening exercises as well as. some light weights will also help you. I fill up bottles with water but it's a bit annoying as water moves the weight. dense stuff like sand would be best, or a couple of tins would do just fine.
    and you're gonna need a lot of rest to. muscle only builds up in your sleep.
    a whole lot of patience is the key here

    Results will be extremelt slow on 800Cals a day. Aim for AT LEAST 1200, do 30 min cardio 3-4x a week, and 20 min strength training 3x a week, and throw in some yoga every other day for a few minutes. You will be seeing results in as little as 2 weeks, and real noticeable changes in a month. But you have to eat balanced and regularly. Lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, lean protein, real dairy, and LOTS of water.

    What do you do when you become too scared, too scared to live, too scared to die, too scared to love, too scared to even care?
    All you must do is breathe and take it one moment at a time. We are strong and deserve to find true happiness <3
