Hey there,
I'm 5'2, 23 and I lost about 20lbs in a month and a half. I started being around 140lbs this year and next thing i knew i hit 185... I'm down to 165.2lbs now, and I'm bored with my diet and it was also more calories than i intended. I know it was effective but rather boring... and because of this, i have not been able to stick to it recently after a month and a half or so of sticking to it 95%.

it looks like you need more cardio. try doing cardio 3 times a week. if you have hit a plateau then it should hit you over the hump0

Any diet where you eat less than you burn will make you lose weight, but I think you're cheating yourself of half the process. Eating a regimented diet like that isn't going to teach you how to eat when you stop the regimen. It will be harder to keep the weight off after you stop "dieting."
OTOH, if you eat normal foods while dieting and log them you'll teach yourself how to eat at the new level. You'll have experience estimating serving sizes and planning acceptable meals at restaurants because you will have been doing it for months. Without that knowledge, it's very hard to go back to eating "normally" without putting some of the weight back on.
Plus, I think it would be really boring...0 -

I have been off of my diet for a few weeks, and haven't gained back any weight. I eat a lot healthier when I'm not on it than I use to. But thank you (:0 -

I do a 5 min warm up on the eliptical and half a mile at 2.8mph 15% incline on the treadmill every day i do strength training... you burn more calories with strength training than with cardio actually... because it keeps using calories to rebuild your muscle to get nutrients to them. I didnt hit a plateau, I was asking about the food... but thanks (:0 -
you need more veggies...
i also eat almost the same thing everyday, but i love it and know i can eat like this for the rest of mylife. ask yourself if you can. if not, find yummy things you enjoy. i rotate some things like my breakfast, i rotate weetbix and oatmeal. and i change my dinner every so often. ill have stir fry and mixed bean and brown rice salad for a few days, then healthy enchiladas w/ veggies for a few days, then meat and veggies for a few days.0 -

strength training will help you tone but to really tone up high intensity cardio is awesome.
pump up that treadmill workout.0 -
