While you are only 20 years old you are carrying a lot of extra poundage. Have you checked with a doctor about losing weight.
The dizzy feeling could be an indication of heart trouble--or it could simply mean that you are terribly out of condition.
A hands on medical examination is the way to go.
A2K has a Virtual Weight Loss Club:

Since your doctor has cleared you, your dizziness is probably a sign, not a symptom.
If you put your finger on a hot stove and it burned, you'd move your finger. If you find yourself getting dizzy, take a break. You have a lot of fat cells demanding oxygen and glucose and they may be grabbing some of the nourishment that your brain needs.
Or I may not know what I'm talking about.
Pause. Rest a few minutes. Resume excercise.
thats the thing i only get dizzy after exercise not during etc
As you'll notice shortly, I posted your problem on the Virtual Diet thread.
Someone will know more than we do--and explain.
It maybe a sign you are pushing too hard.
I emphatically agree with Phoenix32890. You must be patient. In this case "you've got to walk before you run" is quite literally true.
Good luck!
