i know that dieting is the key and i eat a clean diet of protein, veggies, and tons of water.
my workout routine
-walk/brisk walk/run 2 miles 4 days a week
-15-20 minutes of cardio
-5 sets of 50 crunches
-4 sets of 20 pushups
30-45 mins yoga or palates depending on the day 4 days a week
i have been working at the fat loss for 5 months now with this routine and nothing seems to be happening. i know my diet is a good and i believe i am working out enough. i dont know what else there is to do

sassy when you said "It just shouldn't when there are other, less sides-prone, easier to control and maintain and just plain better."
what do you mean another AAS, supplement, what?

That paragraph is saying that for what you are trying to accomplish can be done w/ diet & training. In this case, specifically diet. This doesn't involve putting foreign substances into your body that can introduce their own effects on your body (expected or not) and then either leave you in a different "state" that your body needs time to recover from or the effects will leave if you go off whatever you were on. With a diet, you are simply modifying the times you eat, what you eat, the combinations of what you eat and the amounts you eat. Since you need to eat anyway, you aren't introducing anything foreign into your system and you also get a much better handle on how your body responds to the changes you make in your diet. Since you are really changing a behavior (how you eat), the results will follow your behavior, which can be translated into a sustainable lifestyle.
As Shadow would prefer it, the shorter response is basically saying no pill, AAS or supp, will produce more predictable, easier to adjust, easier to maintain and cheaper results than just changing your diet.
To your last post saying that you think your diet & training are good enough already, as Dr. Phil says, "How's that workin' for ya?" You aren't getting the results you want with your current approach are you? (That's why you are posting this thread.) So let's take a look at what you are doing and see where we can tweak it. Often the tweaks are not major but there is optimization that you can do to get the results you are looking for.
Post up what you eat on a typical day and let's start the analysis!

Yeah, as Sassy says "let's take a look at your diet..." As always change WILL be brought about through nutrition first and foremost. Hmmm...I see Yoga, Pilates, a helluva lot of cardio - but are you lifting any weights? An increase in your lean mass (developed through weight training) will also provide you some of the results you are seeking. Remember that muscle weighs more than fat, but takes up 30% less space. The bonus is a higher metabolic rate - then you'll be a fat burning machine. Tried to be simple, but helpful. IMO - The reasons your looking to the AAS and your desires for taking it do not seem to equate to one another. I'd take some time and learn from the many people here before introducing AAS.
When you say "I don't know what else to do, trust me - there is so much more you can do.
The "bad sides" are just that. And they don't "all" go away. Just become very educated first. You're doing just that with your questions.

and yes i do lift weights.. i am very active and athletic and i already have large muscles for my height. i do not want to gain any more bulk. i was given steroids by the doctor as a child because i was the size of a 5 year old when i was 9. this gave me a bulky look from childhood on. i am very muscular and have fat only on my hips. everywhere else is toned. my problem region is only around my hips as is for many women.

General comments- you do eat a pretty clean diet, but you don't have any really good carb sources. As noted above, orange juice is a great sugar source (but not much for an extremely clean diet). Fruit is not a bad thing in your diet, but if you are looking to optimize, say like a bodybuilder, you'd completely toss the fruit. Also the crackers & cream cheese - this doesn't get you much. A better carb source would be say 1/2 cup oatmeal w/ your breakfast and 3 oz sweet potatoe or brown rice w/ one of your other meals. A great way to evaluate your diet is to break it down into its macronutrients & look at how it all comes out for the day. You can use a calorie counts book that lists carbs / prot / fats / cal for all sorts of food or an online tool like www.fitday.com is great as well.

Great! Thanks for the diet information. That is always helpful. Yes, the fat on the hips is always the last to go. When I need to get my hips/butt down for a show I do add some additional things into my workout. High intensity biking - 20min sessions no longer at highest speed I can for entire duration. Sprints: which are pretty rough, but I usually add them in - 50 yard sprints working up to sets of 10 sprints 3/d weekly. I hope that helps.
