I just got a new job, and am in the process of moving, so I don't have the time or money for long workouts, or equipment to go with them... I'm only 5'2", any gain in weight shows up tremendously :( I feel that I eat healthy (cottage cheese/pineapple for breakfast, cereal for lunch, and a larger meal in the afternoon) But I've suddenly started gaining stomach weight!! I need a quick workout that doesn't require equipment. And a new meal plan, if mine is wrong. Thank you so much!!

As far as exercise, try brisk walking with intervals of running for 45 minutes 5x a week. If there isn't anyplace you can do this, how about an exercise video? You may want to add some hand weights and floor work ( abdominal crunches for instance) to your rountine too.
The most calories you take in should be consumed at breakfast and lunch. Dinner should not be "heavy". Actually I think mini meals are the best to keep your blood sugar regulated and the metabolism going.
Sample day:
Breakfast: 1 c high fiber cereal w/ skim or soy milk, 1/2 c sliced strawberries, water, coffee or tea
Mid-morning snack: 6-8 almonds or celery sticks w/ some hummus
Lunch: mixed salad greens with tuna, red peppers,
cucumbers, chick peas and ff dressing
Mid afternoon snack: 1/2 banana or apple with peanut butter
Dinner: grilled chicken, baked sweet potaoto, spinach salad
LOTS OF WATER!!!!!
I've heard that too many carbs can contribute to belly weight and make you feel bloated. I don't believe in eliminating the good ones, just the bad
ones (from white stuff).
Afternoon snack: 1/2 banana with peanut butter or apple slices w/pb
