stuck in a rut

ambertimmons21

Ok guys, last june I started dieting and working out. well i've gone from 230lbs then to 158lbs now. my problem is that i was loosing weight pretty steadily till this past month. in the last 30 days I have not lost a single pound. I eat 1200 calories a day and I do cardio for 1 hour and strength train for 1 hour every day. I thought that maybe the fat was turning to muscle so that's why I wasn't seeing it on the scale but I haven't lost any inches either. I have 20 more pounds to go. I am so close but feel so far away. Why is this last 20lbs harder to lose than the 70lbs that I have already lost. HELP!!!!!

Are you eating your exercise calories?

Look at your sodium intake....you shuld have between 1000 and 1500 grams of sodium per day. Also make sure you're drinking lots of water.... that seemed to help me get over the plateau....

EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES!!! with less to lose, your body is freaking out! trust me, i did the EXACT same thing and started losing again about 2.5 weeks after I started eating my exercise calories. LESS IS NOT MORE HERE!
