Quick question.

So, I've been logging my foods and weigh portions. I work out 6 days a week, I am currently doing Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 and then 3 days a week I have started running, doing the C25K app. When I first started here I was doing the 30 Day Shred. I started at 180 and now the scale has been stuck at 165ish for a couple of weeks now and I am unsure of what I need to do to keep the number going down? My goal weight is 135ish. I have noticed that I am gaining muscle too, like my legs are noticeably becoming more muscular, I am forming biceps and have lost fat in my midsection because pants are falling off, etc. So my question is do I need to adjust my calories? Or leave it? I am on 1300 a day and 2lbs a week setting. I am fairly active, managing over 10000 steps a day most days. Suggestions?
My overall goal is to reach my target weight and have a good athletic tone to my body.

As you lose, your rate of loss will slow down.
MFP will lower your calorie goal automatically as you enter your new lower weights.
At the moment 2 pound loss a week is too aggressive a goal!
Change your goal to 1 or .5 per week and eat back 1/2 your exercise calories.
That being said, at this point, you must be very accurate with weighing all you eat on a food scale (except at restaurants), and measuring your caloric liquids and log everything in your MFP diary.
You will see your weight begin to drop again if you do this, but more slowly.
