Don't eat less, exercise more. 20% increase in your routine can helpyou bust through your plateau. It's easy, if you normally go for time in cardio and say you do 30 minutes you need to do 36 minutes, if you go for distance and you do 4 miles you need to do 4.8 miles. You can also increase the weight you are lifting for strength training!

Do this for about 10 days and you should start to break through.

Congrats on being close to your goal, keep it up! :flowerforyou:

I was at a plateau for a month. I finally upped my calories to 1400 from 1200 and added fifteen minutes to my daily exercise. Two weeks later I lost three pounds! Maybe you need to change things up a bit or add on. If you are eating 1200 calories, then don't go any lower than that. You might try adding some calories to confuse your body some. Hope this helps! :flowerforyou:
