    It's no big secret. Just continue to drink lots of water, stay under your numbers each day, and exercise.
    It'll eventually happen! The scale WILL go down!!!

    I am currently working out 30 min 2x a day 6 day's a week, drinking water and eating the recommended calories. I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions. Sometimes changing a few things around is all it takes. LOL

    When this happened to me I kicked it up a notch...started doing any physical activity that would burn calories, like mowing lots, drinking tons of water, walking around the block (30 min walk fast)...walking the beach each night too...just really was on the move! It worked!
    I need to do that again too, I am in a slump lol

    I'd been feeling a little disheartened lately because the number on my scale wasn't going down either. In about a week and a half (when I started a new fitness regime) I lost about 10 pounds, and then for the next 3 weeks I hadn't lost any! Instead of just weighing myself yesterday, my trainer did my body composition analysis and turns out I've lost 5% body fat! The numbers on the scale don't show that change, but you can see it in other ways.

    So - Maybe if you've been working out more lately you've made muscle and lost fat, which could mean the numbers on the scale are stuck but that your body IS changing...

    Just a though...

    Believe me, I understand!! For a long time I was stuck at that exact weight..finally burst through and hit 177...then lost over vacation and got to 171....and have been stuck there for 2 weeks! GRRR!!! I wanna see the 160's!!! DAG NABIT!!!!!

    Just keep on, keepin on! That is my motto around here. You are doing everything right and eventually your body has no choice but to catch up!!

    Good luck!!! :)

    Well ShellyBee i am in that same spot trying to push. We can do it, i am on my way to the gym now. 400 calories in 30 minutes heart rate crazy high, at least 165-170 then go walk with weights while your heart rate subsides. It helps you cool down without the automatic stop. While your heart rate is up you can sneak and burn a few more calories. :-) GOOD LUCK!

    Hi, forget the scale and do some weight training that will get it going. I am doing the Insanity program and if that dont take it off nothing will, I am mixing it with some weight training and I can see big difference. It's not all about weight but your whole mental mind will change when you start to see your body take a new shape.
    Bring it!!!

    I am wondering the exact same thing! I have been going back and forth between 183.8 and 180.2. I just want to be 175, so I am finally considered overweight and not OBESE!
