Plateau Busted!

Hello! I've been moaning on here for about 4 months about my plateau and I finally got over it. I actually blew past it to be honest. Since I know it's hard to figure out what to do, I will share what I did.
Nutrition:
I tried to not eat sugar (huge sweet tooth here) and make sure I stayed anywhere from 1500-1800 calories every day.
Exercise:
I had been working out 5-6 days a week. I paired it down to 4 days a week, and 2 of those include weight lifting. On the lifting days I do 15 minutes of cardio, and non lifting about 30. I will go back to normal again here soon, but I'm following a "Best Body Ever" workout in my Oxygen magazine.
I hope this helps some of you! I know when I plateau I worry I'll never get off, but I always keep pushing myself. You can do it too! Here's hoping the last few pounds come off soon :happy:

I'm stuck, too, and it is great to hear about your success! I've been working out so hard, and really watching what I eat, so it is very frustrating to not see progress on the scale. I will say that I think my body shape is improving, and my stamina is also better, but it would be great to lose more weight, too!!!0
