Reply:It sounds like a weight-loss plateau…Once u get closer to your ideal weight, the weight loss will SLOWLY taper off – it won't be as easy to loose the weight in the end, as it was in the beginning. It could be that your body has adjusted to your routine- so now it can manage to burn less calories for those same activities, than it burned before. I would try to change up your routine, mix it up a bit- and keep your body guessing. Maybe alternate your running with walking, or add walking to the end of your workout routine. Try some workout videos/DVDs with a good cardio program, to kick start your body into more activity.
These last few pounds will be the hardest pounds to loose, trust me, I know all about that! I've lost 36 pounds, with about 10-15 more to go, and this has been the hardest part. I was 126 for about a month and a half, before I saw a 2 lb loss. It will budge eventually, you just won't loose as quickly as you did at the start of your diet/exercise program. So, I can only really say that changing your routine can make a bit of a difference, but don't give up, remember, your body will do whatever it can to maintain your weight- so just keep trying, just be patient with it!
Btw, congratulations on your weight loss, good work!
Reply:Maybe you're eating to LITTLE calories. Then your body just stores the fat, calories etc because it thinks its starving. Just a suggestion.
