    Yea- I would recommend working on upping your net (as I said, I'm fairly sure for men you should be aiming for 1500 net). If your net had been low previously, you might experience it slowing as your metabolism adjusts to more food as well (take it slow to build your body back up- add in 50-100 every couple of days or week).

    I do a fair bit of jogging but mostly walking, I hike on saturdays when i can and the last week i have been to the gym 6 days in a row. I spend an hour on a treadmil and only do light strength training at the minute but at the gym I lose any where between 800 and 1200 calories that i eat back on during the day. I know the numbers are going down in the right direction but i must admit when i worked out that i have only lost 3.5 so far this month i was a little unmotivated.

    Maybe try eating only about half of your exercise calories back for the next week.

    As far as my weight loss goes - am about 78 days into P90X and have lost 35lbs. I think I lost about 18 the 1st month and then about 7 or so the last couple.

    Dec 8 lbs
    Jan 0.8 lbs
    Feb 4.8 lbs
    Mar 4 lbs so far

    It varies on any given month I think and what is happening. I could lose more or less just cause my TOM is late lol.

    How much do you weigh? Do you know your body fat percentage? When you start getting to 32-35% body fat, 2 pounds per week is no longer realistic. If I lose 4 pounds in a month at this point, I feel like I'm doing pretty damn good.

    I started late January and have lost 12 lbs so far. So, basically, 6 lbs a month.

    Since January 18th I've lost approximately 30lbs and a total of 55 lbs since December 6th. I was quite heavy when I started so that has a lot to do with it.

    I aim to lose 7lbs per month and it's almost working out that way at the moment. I still have a long way to go though.

    So far Ive lost 13 pounds on MFP (I lost like 20 before I started counting) and monthwise it goes like this:
    October: 10 lbs
    November: 10lbs
    December: 10 lbs
    January: 5 lbs
    February: 1 lbs
    March: 4lbs and counting

    Now in February I dieted like I never have and excersized for like four hours each day and i gained muscle in my legs but mostly I didn't lose weight because I under ate a lot and ended up shutting down my body kinda.... So a plateau can be caused by a lot of things in my experience. Eating the same meals, doing the same workouts, ect. Your body can adapt and start thinking those are normal conditions and refuse to give up the weight and also the lighter you get the less calories you burn because your body puts less effort into anything you do.
