I would echo Christain Iron in eating 5-6 times a day. I got plenty of ideas on what to eat, and how to eat off of body building websites, and it did the trick and I have stuck with it. After 3 babies....I even have a nice ab strip. (Old Bodybuilding Saying...."Abs are made in the kitchen".) You can "out eat" your workouts.
Also-it is not uncommon for "newbies" to both burn fat and build muscle. Initially I rotated cardio and weight training. (One day upper body weight training..next day cardio....next day lower body weight training...next day cardio...). I rested one day a week. That's what got my weight and sizes down. I used a combination of dumbell exercises and bodyweight exercises, as well as resistance bands for weight training.
My program was loosely based on "Body for Life for Women" which I highly recommend.
These days I still lift 3 days a week-sometimes I combine cardio or do cardio on a different day depending on the schedule. Now with school almost out...I will have to readjust as the kids will be home full time. So I will take them with me swimming at the gym, and weight train at home or at night at the gym depending on work schedule.
