4 of them........4!

Respectfully, there is not enough information given to help you with your question.

What other info will help? I'll be willing to add it

Height, weight, how much you are eating, goal weight, what kind of workout, are you measuring all your food, etc...

"eating healthy" isnt enough. You need to know how many calories are going in vs. how many you burn.

Very simply, everyone burns a cerain amount of calories over the course of a day. This is called your mainetenence. If you take i less calories then maintenence you lose weight. More, and you'll gain it.

Cardio is only relevent insofar as it raises your calories burned on a given day. You can lose weight without any at all (althoguh there are obvious strength/health benefits to cardio as well). I personally lift weights 5 times/week. Never do any cardio.

If your maintenence is 2500 cals/day, and you eat 3000 cals of lean chicken, and green vegtables (this would be quite hard however, but just as a hypothetical) you will gain weight. ait doesnt natter that those foods are healthy.

Counting calories is pretty much a necessity.

What are you eating?
How many Calories per day?
How Many calories are you burning?
Have you noticed a change in your measurements?
Do your clothes fit differently?
Are you holding water (High sodium diet, TOM etc)?
Are you logging?
Are you on medications?
How much weight do you want to lose?
How close are you to that goal?
Start with those, I'm sure that you will get alot more responses and links. :flowerforyou:

cut calories by 10% or 170 cals.

Although are you counting literaly everything that goes into your mouth? Fruit, juices, and sauces can ads up to hubdreds of calories a day. A good rule of thimb is you should never drink your calories. Even healthy juices like orange juice are going to be over 100 cals. Ketchup, bbq sauce etc. will add up pretty quickly.

gender, age...

I have that problem too... :explode: everything was great untill I started with weight training 4x a week (PUMP).. trainer said that's happening because new training routine... my muscles are "bigger" and full of water.. :sad:

4 times a week PUMP training in my gym (60min) => sth like this http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/les-mills-pump-workout.do

1x after PUMP - HITT (2min walking + 1min running) = 21min

1x cardio 60min

sorry for my english :flowerforyou:

Are you weighing the foods like chicken, other meats, rice, oatmeal (if you eat those)?

When I started weighing my foods I found that I was overestimating how much chicken and rice I was eating but underestimating oats and other stuff (I was using measuring cups but was still off). Those extra calories can add up quickly. [I was losing weight because I was overestimating most of my intake but I've heard tons of people say that they found out they were underestimating.]

If you are measuring, I would say that the only thing left to do is cut your calories by a bit. Someone recommended cutting them by 10% which should be perfectly safe.

Having said that, I'm the same height as you and the "perfect" BMI weight is 140. At 140lbs I would only be 11% body fat which is quite unhealthy (for a woman) so I'm shooting for 150 (18% bodyfat) 160 is only considered overweight by 1 lb. You might want to re-evaluate your goals using your lean body mass to get a good idea of where you are and where you should end up. (130 is the very lower limit for someone our height and a lot of that depends on lean body mass.)
