in Health and Weight Loss
Perhaps this is a common situation, but my weight loss seems to have stalled. Eating sensibly with lots of exercise (cardio and weights) but seem to be stuck at 74.6kg. Have a low net calorie intake, though I do give myself a good cheat meal every week. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Make your diary public and you'll probably get some good advice.

    The thing that always helped me was changing the exercise. Your body can become used to it. If you've been running, maybe try biking or swimming or something.

    Otherwise, definitely open your diary;

    How long has your weight stalled?
    What is your net calorie goal?
    What does your exercise routine look like?
    What does eating sensibly mean?
    How tall are you?

    How long have you been at a "plateau." Sometimes you'll just randomly have a few weeks with no loss. It happens. If it goes on for much more than a few weeks then I usually get a little concerned.

    just about 5 days. Lots of heavy cardio and weights, with low net calorie intake. maybe this is just natural, but I've been losing weight steadily until this week.

    Weight fluctuation is completely normal and only 5 days is not a plateau.
