    Even though it's completely counter-intuitive, you probably need to eat more calories. Adjust your goals to lose 1 to 1.5 lbs a week, and then follow your calorie goal that MFP sets for you. Hope that works for you!

    I agree you are not eating enough food. Your body goes into "starvation mode". when it does that you wont lose weight as fast.

    What are you eating? Make sure your body is still getting the nutrition it needs to be healthy, because health is the ultimate goal, right? I peeked at your profile and saw that you want to go into the army - great goal. My husband lost about 100lbs to join the air force at 19, so your goal is achievable. If you go to a recruiter, they sometimes have PT groups for people aspiring to reach the fitness level needed to join. Just a thought. Good luck!
