    First: Are you drinking your water?
    Second: Are you watching your sodium intake?
    Third: Are you making Healthy food choices?


    Drinking water flushes out your body of Sodium.
    Sodium inhibits weight loss, it actually makes your body retain water. Which of course makes you weight more.
    Try Eating Protein for supper with a big salad. Salads are easier for you to digest. Protein keeps you feeling fuller longer. Stay away from Carbs after 6pm. It's working for me.

    Give it a try.

    Lots of water is a great suggestion.

    Sounds like it's time to switch up your diet somewhat. Either go up or down a couple hundred calories. Or cut out a large percentage of your carbs. It's just for a couple of days, and then get right back on your diet. It's to shock your metabolism, and get you past this plateau.

    What are you doing to work out? A lot of weight lifting/strength training might mean you are building muscle which weighs more than fat. If this is the case increase your cardio. Even if its not all strength training and just doing the same workout over and over try something new to challenge your body in a new way!

    You may also want to keep track of body measurements. You might be changing in your waist size but not your weight.

    Definitely make sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day... If you are exercising and eating right, then you may just be gaining muscle, in this case, pay more attention to your measurements than what you see on the scale... I have been seeing a nutritionist for the past year and since I started seeing him I've lost 70 lbs... The one thing he said is the closer you are to your goal weight the harder it is to lose... He wants me working out at least 6 days a week for at least 45 minutes each work out, and to eat no more than 1300 cal. a day (5 small meals every 2-3 hours)... It really works for me when I stick with it
