I know you've guys have answered this type of question many times, but I need some help.

The scale has not moved in 8 days. My workouts are 40 mins a day on the stationary bike at a moderate pace....I work up a sweat for sure, sit ups 4 sets of 25 and leg lifts 4 sets of 25. I go for walks 3 times a week for 40 mins to an hour at a moderate pace, and I lift weights with my hubby 3 times a week.

I eat anywhere from 1400-1750 calories a day....I make good choices for meals. I don't know what else to do. I did do cardio 7 days a week but I decided to start taking Friday's off to let my body rest and heal...my knees are starting to feel it.

My calorie goal is 1470 (mfp setting), I burn about 500 cals a day, my BMR is 1578 (mfp)

I know it's going to take a long time to get the weight off, but the first 12 lbs was pretty easy.

If anyone can give me advice, or any tips I would love to hear it.

    You have hit a platoe no worries. Change up your workout routine to get other muscles moving this will trick your body to shedding the weight off again.

    Oops...I missed on first read that you lift weights with your husband 3x per week....maybe try different exercises, to challenge yourself more?

    Its a time to set new goals now, Define the calorie and work out goals to match your reduced weight, keep it up :)
