I don't know if this helps but I concentrated on eating smaller portions. Of course I chose what made sense to eat but mainly I would just eat until I felt adequate (which was 1/2 of what I was eating before) and wouldn't drink any carbonated drinks. Also, I would change up my
cardio.
(1) Sometimes I would run 1.5 miles and walk at an incline to 13 for the additional time to 30 minutes
(2)I would use the stepper at a level 6 for 15 minutes twice (before my wieght lifting and after)
(3) I would also attend the aerobic classes
I started at 180lbs and now I am 133lbs, however I am 5'3. I also hit what I have heard to be a plateau at 160.
Hang in there, you can do it. Maybe you just need to change routine because I have heard your
body can become accustomed.
I am not an expert or claim to know anything as a fact, however this is what worked for me.
