    As others have said, it looks like you're probably eating too little. A site that has been a really great help to me is niashanks.com - she makes a great case for lifting heavy weights to improve body composition and how you see yourself! If you're lifting correctly, it also gets your heart rate up quite a bit so you don't have to kill yourself on the treadmill. I have been following her advice for a while (although she doesn't count calories, I still do - but I eat about 2000 calories per day so it doesn't feel like deprivation). If you increase the muscle mass that is on your body and lift just three times a week, you'll burn more calories per day in the long run and not *have* to eat low calories (1400 or less) just to maintain. The scale is just one (often unreliable) way to track your progress, so I'd really encourage you to use measurements and train for a "look" not a number on the scale! :)

    You've lost 20 lbs already (congrats) and say you haven't lost in months. This is normal. You can't expect to continue losing so easily (for lack of a better word) once you get closer to your goal. It's almost inevitable that you will stall.

    I suggest you stay away from the scale and change up your routine.

    You state you need to be fit and strong for your job.
    your only option is to
    A) get a new job
    B) re-evaluate. Set mpf to only .5 loss per week and start lifting heavy.

    Then figure out your BMR and TDEE and take it from there.
