    Sometimes your body will adjust to the routine your doing. Adjust the intensity of your training or change the exercises you're doing. If you're not strength training, add that to your routine. Dieting alone is not a healthy way to lose weight!

    It appears that your body has made the adjustment to what you are doing. You will get some great advice as to what to do to fix that because I've read many posts from people who hit that plateau and then overcame it. Basically, you are going to need to modify some things. Do a different exercise routine, eat a little differently, maybe even a little more for a couple of days, just to let you body know it's okay and you are continuing to feed it. I haven't lost in a long time, so I'm adding more fruit and veggies and cutting way back on the grain carbs and sugars. Even though I'm within all my limits, my body will not release the weight.
