    As crazy as this sounds, try increasing you calorie intake by to about 1600 calories a day. I am pretty sure your body is probably in starvation mode. Be sure to also eat at least 3/4 of the calories that you burn form exercise.

    Is at least some of the exercise cardio? Cardio burns a lot of calories so it will allow you to lose the weight faster and eat more. I lost 15 lbs in 3 months by doing 55-60 min of Zumba 5-6 days a week. I didn't track calories during that time but I was eating the same way I eat now which is usually between 1600-1800 calories a day.

    Thanks, Im thinking something here, I want to loose just 15 - 20 pounds and tone up, as all my weight is in the mid section. I have muscular legs and arms.. always have.. Im a walker, bike rider - free weights and dance workout person, no to mention I have a 2 year old and 1 year old grand children to chase all day haha.. But I exercise everyday.. maybe i should increase that ?
