I am 5 ft 8 and weigh about 160lbs. I am having a diet. I eat only 1400-1500 calories per day. I lost 21lbs so far. But now it doesn't lose any pound now. What must I do????

    Heya, you could try doing new exercises or new meals, if you do the same thing over and over it can stop working so use some new tactics :)

    Plateaus suck! When I've hit them I go back to the basics! I record EVERYTHING that I eat or drink. I'm always amazed how quickly it adds up. Also, I change my exercise routine. Our bodies get use to the same format (eating or exercise). Try not to get discouraged and keep going until your happy with you. Hope this helps!

    According to your profile you are a male....160 at 5'8 is a good weight. I am female, 5'8, weighs 176 and eat a lot more than you - and still lose weight.......Eating that little can not be good for you ...Eat more, lots of protein and start lifting weights - you will see the difference very soon!

    If you don't have weights or access to a gym, go to www.nerdfitness.com for exercises you can do without weights

    1400-1500 calories is pretty low for a guy. Are you logging any exercise and eating the earned calories back? That might be a good place to start.

    What does your diet consist of? Also how is your sleep habits and your exercise and rest routines? A lot of things play a huge role in weight loss and from experience I would lose 40 pounds then would stop so I had to look at what I was doing, how I was eating and took me about two more plateaus before I was finally able to lose the rest and hit my goal weight. But I promise it can work

    plus what is your body fat percentage 160 for a 5ft 8 guy is pretty light so your body may be at its limit depending.

    So is it good if I eat about 1800 calories per day. I just need to lose my last 10lbs and work out back to 160lbs with lean, not fat.

    I exercise every day. I work out 5 day and 2 day rest. I do cardio in that day. I sleep 7hrs to 7.5 a day. I just worry does it make me gain weight again if I eat more...

    Try "ItWorks" body wraps. It's great for toning and getting rid of the last few pounds.

    I don't think it was necessary to roll your eyes, but that's okay, I understand.
