    Eat more. You are burning even more calories and if you haven't increased the amount you are taking in, you will eventually stall on the weight loss.

    As carazy as it sounds you may not be eating enough. Now that your job has you moving along with exercise you should really try to eat all of your calories.

    I'm having the same problem and I'm still only losing around 2-4 ounces a week it's almost discouraging after a while.

    Eat more, net at least 1200. That means your food minus your exercise should be 1200 or more. If you eat 1500 cals and burn 300 at work, great. You could even eat your exercise calories back, most people prefer to. However, if you only eat 1000-1200 cals there's no way your body's getting enough.

    don't want to sound like one of the 'eat clean' hippies out there but you could try to improve the quality (&quantity) of what you're eating - you're always pretty high on sodium.

    Your NET at the end of the day should be no lower than 1200 calories. So if you eat 1200 calories, but burn 300 at the gym, you need to eat back that 300 to get back to 1200 calories.
