ok, here's a quick history.. March 2015 - start of my fit life @ 162lbs (5'2"). Ate 1500 calories per day, did a Jillian Michaels workout 5/6 days a week (30mins of hiit). Lost steadily until I hit 130. Have been stuck here since August. I recently upped my calories to 1700 because I felt really hungry suddenly on the 1500, and upped my Jillian workouts to her 45 minute workouts, but for 5 days a week. I eat healthy 90 percent of the time. I get at least 100g of protein a day.
Anyway,I still have a layer of fat on my stomach that needs to go. I am shooting for some ab definition. Any advice as to how to get rid of these last few pesky pounds?

Anyone? i was also contemplating slowly upping my calories, then going back to a deficit to try and get things going again.

Heavy weights. Small deficit.0

Tighten up your logging, if you aren't using a food scale to weigh/measure all food and drinks start using one now. The closer you get to your goal, the more consistent you need to be with your intake. Also, you should look into a progressive strength training program like strong lifts, nrolfw, strong curves or starting strength.0

If you are not losing, you're already at maintenance. You likely need to cut calories further in order to lose the weight. After your maintenance break, a goal of 1400 may be appropriate.0
