How long have you been stuck? Sometimes your body gets used to the reduced calories and adapts, so you need to trick it by eating more calories for a week or so, then dropping back down to the diet level. Also sometimes when you've been successfully dieting for a while, you get a bit lax about measuring and portion size creep up a bit, so you are eating a bit more than you think. Also the lighter you get, the less calories you have to eat to lose weight so you may just need to cut down a bit more. Last suggestion is to up your exercise by a small amount (maybe run with the dog for 15 of the 45 mins rather than just walk).

If you google for wieght loss plateau there are lots of excellent (free) resources which will advise you on how many cals you need to lose weight at your current weight, and how much extra exercise you need to take to break through the plateau. Congratulations on the two stone though. That must have taken a lot of hard work and determination.

to be honest hun those two stone fell of ridiculasly easy !!! And took hardly any effort! I just cut back on the junk considerably. HAving said that I am so stubborn so make sure I tell everyone im having no junk because then i'll never ever go back on my word lol. I think the biggest helping hand was becoming vegetairian !!!

shykins thanks for the tip (and noticing im veggie) will give it a look.

weight not dropping !
