Hey everyone. I've been on MFP since March of last year and have lost almost 70 pounds. I'm 5'8", 21, 193 pounds now, eat about 1200 calories a day, and workout mon-fri. I do a few hundred calories on the elliptical and recently started adding weights which has lowered my bf% a bit. My goal weight is ~175 but I'm finding it hard to lose the last 20 pounds or so. Should I keep going on this path or should I change something up?

    Time to introduce to weightlifting I think, you won't bulk up because your calorie intake is low but if you take some sort of protein shake and some weight training it'll fly off

    You might be getting beginner muscle gains. I wouldn't worry about it once you get more used to your weightlifting routine you should start losing weight again.
