1. Yes I've adjusted my calories accordingly. 2. I understand my loss is supposed to slow down. 3. I highly doubt I'm gaining muscle at this rate. I've been stuck between 135-137 pounds eating a defecit that I should be losing a pound a week. I measure my food, track very well. Haven't lost weight in about 2 months. I have no idea what's going on with me. (I work out too)

    Your calorie logging out or in is off track

    How are you measuring your food?

    "Measuring", not weighing your food?

    You're eating at maintenance.

    Are you weighing your food with a food scale?

    What's your height? Are you at mid healthy BMI yet?

    Will you open your diary?

    How much are you eating? Does that include exercise?

    Because you are consuming more calories than you are burning. Adjust one or the other.

    My PT would say you hit a plateau and need to shock your body. Try switching up tour diet or your work out. If you only cardio, do some weight training or if you only weight train, try some hiit.

    Are you sure you're tracking your calories accurately? Do you use a food scale? You may be consuming more than you think. If you're logging your food from the database, I suggest double checking the values to be accurate. It's also possible to overestimate the calorie burn from your workout. Do you eat back all your exercise calories? MFP and many other websites tend to overestimate the calorie burn and hence you should only eat back 50% of them. Personally, I don't eat back exercise calories unless I'm hungry. Remember that weight loss is not linear! Assuming you're nearing your goal weight - your weight loss is expected to slow down. 0.5 pound loss a week would be a healthy rate for you! You could try incorporating strength training and start a lifting programme into your routine if you haven't already or you could try switching up your workout schedule. Have patience :)
