    usually body measurements are a better indication of weight loss than the scale. How long since you "lost weight" on the scale?

    Just by reading your post, I have a gut feeling that you are under-counting calories. As long as you eat within target calories, you should be losing weight.

    Exercises help, but 90% of weight loss is what you eat. For example, Starbucks venti caramel Frappuccino is 510 calories. You have to run on a treadmill for an hour at 5mph pace in order to burn that calories. If you are not losing weight for few weeks, you should read the fine print of what you are eating. Even if you are eating a lot of salad, the toppings and sauces can add up really quickly. McDonalds crispy chicken salad is 400 calories, which have a similar calorie count as burgers.

    I'm not saying that you should stop doing Les Mills - in fact, it's probably helping you a lot. Pay more attention to the measurements, and things are not improving, double check your calorie count!

    You're doing really well, as you seem to be getting smaller.
    I woudn't worry too much about the number on the scale at the moment.
    But do listen to heytherejune and check out the links she's posted above.
    Good Luck!
