Your goal is very realistic and losing inches is a good thing - it means you dropped fat while gaining muscle which makes you look better so it may not show on the scale but it will show up in the mirror

That could be it but usually...
Switching to intervals - See NowLoss.com/i instead of cardio will solve your problem
Adrian Bryant | 12.06.09 - 9:02 pm
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me out.
Started on a healthier diet (more vegetables) last September 23, 2009. Have lost 8 lbs since then (I'm 27 year old, 5'2", asian female, starting weight was 138lbs. I have a small frame)
Currently, I weigh 130 lbs since November 21, 2009.
My goal weight is 105-110 lbs.
Calorie intake for the day is 1290. Exercise around 30 minutes 5 days a week (cardio for 5 days but also adding some weights on 3 of those days).
I also keep a food diary so I can see what I'm consuming. I eat 4-5 times a day.
My question is: I have been told lately that the reason for my plateau was that I was consuming the same kinds of foods day in and day out.
ex:
breakfast: milk+ protein shake
snack: fruit
lunch: salad
snack: biscuit or fruit again
dinner: salad
any advice would be helpful! thanks.

I don't think it's time to panic yet since it's only been a week and I don't want to get in the way of your current "weight loss center's" plans but...
I think you need to eat more than 500 calories a day (this will actually slow things down for fat loss) and you also may want to look into doing intervals (see nowloss.com/i)
Adrian Bryant | 11.25.09 - 11:52 am
I was 176 lbs 5 foot 5 inches tall and I joined quick weight loss center 7 weeks ago and lost 16 lbs in the first 6 weeks. I was eating between 1000 and 1200 calories a day and walking 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week. (I am a stay at home mom)in the 7th week I have not lost an ounce. I since cut my calorie intake to 500 to 600 calories a day and the scale won't move at all. Help, my diet consisted of two 8 ounce servings of protein a day 2 carb a day (45 calorie low fat bread) 4 servings of vegetables and 3 serving of fruit, 80 ounces of water and 1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium salt and 1 teadpoon fat such as lite mayo or margarine. Now i am eating half of that and the scale won't move.

Yes - that's okay - the healthy foods you eating is what is suppressing your appetite which will lead to faster weight loss so yes...
this is okay

Hi
I am 5'7.5 and currently weigh 163. I started a work out plan on Dec 29 2008 because I weighed 205 Ibs.I have lost 43Ibs and am trying to lose another 12 to 14 Ibs by October 15. So that gives me around 7 weeks to do this.Is this possible I have seen my weight loss slow down and feel like I am not losing anything anymore. I have started drinking the whey protein shakes in the morning and dont know if this it helping or hurting me. I have lost all of the weight naturally but am thinking about taking a fat burner to get the last of the weight off. Do you suggest this and if so,what should I take. I am just getting alittle discouraged.
Thanks for your help!

I have giant legs and my foot cannot sustain the weight of my legs and body. I weighed 85kgs. Most of the weight which are heavy are my 2 legs. From young, I was big already.
I am now controlling my diet to 150 to 300 calories per day and swim one hour almost everyday.
How do I trim my big thighs and my big arms with flabby fats?
Thank you very much.

Hey. Im 17 years old and weigh about 178 pounds. Im always tired of looking at myself like this and want to lose weight immediatly. I get depressed when none of my jeans dont fit and have to worry about picking out an outfit that wont expose all my fat. Most of my weight is on my thighs, hips, and stomach. Im not sure exactly where to begin and how to lose everything quick. Please help me!
Pry | 04.17.09 - 8:27 pm
Andrew,
You're doing nothing wrong - it just takes longer to lose those last 10+ pounds - go here to see why
Adrian Bryant | 04.12.09 - 9:37 am
Hi Adrian, I just came across your videos on YouTube which then led me to this site.
I'm 17 years old and 6'1". In October of 2008, I was weighing in at 254.9 pounds and I now weigh 185.1 (-69.8 pounds). I lost this through extreme cardio and physical workouts from wrestling. However, since my season ended in February, I've only lost 8 of those 69.8 pounds (roughly 1 pound a week for the last 8 weeks).
I've read your article on weight loss plateau and it appears I'm doing everything on your list. I went from wrestling practice to mixed martial arts practice to increase the intensity. The MMA practice is a bunch of different exercises a week so I'm never doing the same thing. I've increased the length and number of times I work out but I can't seem to drop the weight as fast as I want. I also went from a 2000 calorie, high-protein diet to a 1850 calorie, even higher protein diet. The only thing I drink is water and diet green tea.
I want to be at 170.0 by June 4th, 2009. With as much weight as I've lost, is this a realistic goal to get the stubborn stomach fat to go away and finally get the abs that are hiding behind it to show?

I am about 12 kilos overweight and have put it on over the last 4 years. I have only eaten about 1000 calories a day during that time. My personal trainer tells me i have to increase my calories gradually each day, by eating 3 meals and 2 snacks and get my calories from the right type of foods? is this right?

suggestions?
I went to the gym today and tried to change up my work out by working at a very high intensity for 10 mintues on the treadmill, then the ellpitical, the bike and then the stair master. I hope something starts to work!
Amreen | 03.01.09 - 11:07 pm
Amreen,
What exactly is your weight & height?
Your calorie deficiets are fine but we need to check to be sure if you're eating the right amount for your weigh and height for it to be less enough to cause weight loss
ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.01.09 - 4:12 pm
I recently started working out to drop some extra weight. I started working with a trainer 3 times a week ( 25 mins 2 days, 1 day for an hour)for about a month and a half and along with that I worked out on my own for 6 days a week doing a combination of running, walking, the stairmaster, etc. for about 30-45 mintues each day. I was on a defciet of 500-1000 calories per day mostly between the range of 500-700 with the exception of 2 or 2 or 3 days out of the week when it was closer to 800-1000. I have lost only 8lbs and now I am stuck. My question is do you think that my deficets are to high (do I need to be eating more calories) or do you think its a combination of that plus changing up my workout routine? When I work out with my trainer we do different things all the time and when i work out on my own i usually hop on the treadmill and do intervals of very fast running, slowing down to walking, fast walking then running again until i get tired and i continue this for about 30-45mins, some days thats all I will do and some days I do the stair master or the elliptcal after. Please let me know what you think might be preventing me from losing more wieght. I have not seen the scale move for about 2 weeks. Also, I am about 20-25lbs from my goal weight which is also the normal weight for my height and weight. Thank you and by the way you website is awesome!
Amreen | 03.01.09 - 10:17 am
PIRLANTAA,
Canada Dry is okay sometimes but you really should try to limit it.
It may contain low or NO calorie sweetners that make you crave for high calorie sweets
Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:44 pm
is Canada Dry okay?
The acidic watery one.
no sugar nothing in it
its like...pierrior

Help me please. I being running on elyptical for about 3 months. Now I'm running 1 hour, 6 miles x hour and between 600 to 700 caliories x hour. I was losing, but I have not lose even 1 pound since 3 weeks ago. My actual weight is 183. What should I do now?
Gaby | 02.18.09 - 9:55 am
PIRLANTAA,
RELAX - going 100 calories over is nothing to freak out over
Adrian Bryant | 02.10.09 - 7:56 pm
If i eat 100 EXTRA calories by mistake or purpose in a day..would that make me gain weight or..?
and I work out 3 times a week..and I loose about 500 CALS.
If i come home and consume 500 CALS back in my system..does that mean I worked for nothingg?
PIRLANTAA | 02.10.09 - 6:09 pm
I'm 51, F, 5'8", started at 249lbs and did a VLCD for 7 weeks. In two months I lost about 36 pounds. I began to feel too fatigued and a few symptoms that told me I needed to up my calories. I have raised them from 5-600 up to around 1200. Since then I regained 5 pounds and lost three and a half of those. I have been doing 1 hour at 3.2mph of walking till I injured my ankle and so now do 40 mins on an exercise bike daily. I've also added in about 20 mins of pushups, situps, and ab exercises though I haven't done your ab workout and not sure I can with knee and ankle injuries just yet. However, I seem to be "stuck". I have tried splitting up the exercises, changing up the intensity. My diet is already High protein and veggies with extremely limited other carbs and fruits. What else can I do and yes, I do drink the water. Thanks for any suggestions as I have another 86 pounds to lose and it's getting discouraging.
It seems that you're putting WAAAY too much focus on your diet and doing the gimmicky apporach which is okay but...
How long can you seriously go low carb or VLCD? - why go for a short term loss when you're going to gain it all back.
You need to eat a reasonalbe range of calories from 1200-to-1500 calories and you need to put more focus in your workout plan and dont do low carb this or high protein that diets - just stick to yoru calories and make sure your meals have protein and carbs in them plua...
do a workout like this that mixes high intensity with low intensity
First off your awesome! Second, I really need to lose 30 pounds for the Air Force, I'm 5'6'' and weigh 200 pounds, i need to weigh 170. i've seen most of your videos and have somewhat of a clue, but anything specific would help. Thank YOU! 
hi i have hit a plateu and losing any since a month ago. I do engaged a Personal Traininer and altho that he has increased my intensity and do a lot of weight training couples w cardio im not losing anything. I have been cutting carb, sugar and fats daily. I am now trying to add on a lot of protein in my daily diet and trying the zone diet since few days back. Any better suggestions??
what's your weight and height now?
I am 13 5'5 and 112lbs. I am freaking out about my weight. I look good
but when I looked down at the scale I almost died. Do you think I'm
chubby?
NO....not at all. please understand you are at a good weight for your height.
Hi, I 'm twelve years old And I was wondering how to lose weight fast, I tried to exercise,but it doesn't work, I lose the weight but I gain it back again. Do you have any idea what to do,if you can let me know. I was watching a tv show and four twelve year old girls were obese. I don't want to end up like them. You can get diabetes from this over weight problem. I don't want to have diabetes at a early age. I need some ideas how to lose weight, thanks for reading. 
hello. im fabiola i live in california. im 16 years old and i weigh 180. I have been trying to loose weight but i just cant. i need help.
what have you tried?
Hi! Prev had a negative net calorie intake. Like eat 300 burn more than 300. Lost weight. Heard it's not good to have such a low calorie intake. Upped intake to 1000 and exercise too, so total net calorie intake is 500. Gained weight.
How may I continue to lose weight then? Exercising more doesn't seem right- I dunno whether I would still gain weight since my net calorie intake was less than 0 prev. Ty.
what is your weight and height and what type of exercise are you doing?
I just turned 36 this weekend. I am feeling rather flabby. I used to be 118-123 lbs at 23 and then i had a kid and have gone from 160 down to 128 and now back to 144 and i am five ft. five and a half, almost five six. I have a love handle on my tummy that is not huge but also my butt where it has some muscle tone has a lot of fat above it near the back. I recently cut alcohol, more water and a bit more exercise and lost 5 lbs. I was at 149. I want to be at 128. If i exercise in intervals of 20 mins at a time X 2 times a day three days a week and eat better and drink more water and the green tea and all can i expect to see major changes in 4-8 weeks?
you can expect changes but you probably wont hit your goal by then.
the key to you is to keep making sure all your workouts are intense and i would make it 20-to-40 min workouts and not just 20min
im 20yrs old and i was wondering....i exercise 5 days a week i run 2 miles and i do some stairs running up and down i do about 40. then i do weights..i do 7 setz of 10 and then i do 100 situps...but idk if its good to do all that if im eating less??should i do my current exercises and change my diet for a 5 day meal?
at a quick glance - that does sound a bit much to me and yes...
the more active you are = the more you can eat without gaining weight but...
what is your overall goal? fat loss or build muscle
im 5'3 and weigh 180 pounds.Everyday i ride my stationary bike for 45 minutes but i do it in different sections.Like when i get home from school i do 15 minutes,then maybe an hour and half later ill do another 15 minutes,then in the evening ill do another 15 minutes.And i always put it on the highest resinstance for the last 2 minutes and try to stand up.For breakfast ill have a bannanna and an apple with some peanut butter.I dont eat lunch.But when i get home from school ill sometimes have a bagle or a peice of fruit.For dinner i have whatever my dad makes but not a big portion and we useally eat fairly healthy.Iv cut out cookies, icecream, soda, fastfood ,sweets,i hardly even drink juice any more because i switched to water.So anyway yeah this is what iv been doing for around 2 weeks.And i havnt lost any weight.My pants feel a litttle little loeser but still i havnt lost weight.Am i doing everything right?Is thier something i can change for faster results?
I dont see any problems
it's only been 2 weeks and your clothes are looser and dont worry about the scale b/c you obivously are looking better after 2 weeks so don't get discouraged and give up plus if you're only going to do a 15 bike workout...
it has to be really intense so look at this workout video here
Im 18 5'7 and 160 poundsI started eating healthier about a month ago like cutting out breads pastas cracker and have lost about 5 pounds since then. I work out everyday for about an hour. iw as wondering if taking a protein shake before my work out in the morning would increase my weight loss. the protein shake i have is called syntha 6
Not really but adding more protein to your overall diet could speed up weight loss and when I say add more protien...
I mean make protein 30-40% of your diet
Hi first off I just wanted to say this website is amazing,I have learned a lot. so good job on that.Ok Is it just me or do I find lossing one pound a week too little I went from 141 to 135 in one week. now I am not lossing any weight anymore and I stay the same weight my food is less than I used to way less why did I stop lossing weight
look at this here and...
what about exercise? - are you doing any?
It's normal to lose weight fast at first and then slow down to 1-to-2 pounds afterwards
I have been excersicing for a week I was recently 141 pounds I lost about 6 pounds but I keep going back and forward from 135 -136 and its been about 3 days and I have lost no weight same diet same excersice what do you think is wronge
Nothing really - it's only been 3 days NOT 3 months so it's not time to panic yet.
Remember - you should only expect 1-2 pounds of FAT a week and the 6 pounds you lost in the first week is always typical of starting a new plan but...
I would give it 1-to-2 weeks before you use the other tips on this page to break your plateau
Hey Adrian, what's really funny is my fiance gets frustrated at the scale when it stops moving, however she looks good because she is toning up a lot
It's all about the switch up like we talked about the other day.. folks need to trick the body to different stimuli for better and greater results.. Great post bro.. Blessings,

Greetings! My wife is very frustrated and needs your help.
My wife works at a fast food joint. They take money out of her paycheck per week that goes toward buying food at the place for her breaks. But many times she doesn't even get a break because they have her schedualed 4-7 hours per day and therefore no breaks. She's really good at not eating the bad stuff there but eats salads. The problem is when she gets home then she is starving and has to eat. Therefore this is why we need your help. Depression also is a factor.
Could everyone please give us their ideas.
Thanks

Also, we joined the gym and got her a personal trainer. We've been trying to stay on the Weight Watchers program. We've seriously cut out the junk foods and have been making stir fry with lots of veggies and fruits. in the past 4 weeks she's lost 5 pounds. But that has been fluctuating. She's discouraged like everyone and just needs some ideas on what she might do. The main problem is is that she's not able to take breaks at work, the hunger builds up and explodes when she gets home. But she's trying really hard.

What about packing a healthy lunch and taking it to work?
Your wife sounds like everywhere she turns the fast food follows... its hard to lose weight if your surrounded by fast food... but she can do it.. since she doesnt get a break much she should eat a good-heathly breakfast she should drink water it will fill her up not to much though.. ask your wife if she could talk to the boss about taking money out for her paycheck to eat there.. it will only give your wife an excuse to eat fast foods.. maybe your wife should go see a consuler for the depression problem.. having a bad mood swing would leave you only wanting more to eat.. tell your wife she has to find time to excrise a least 30 mins a day.. fruits and veggies are also good foods to eat instead of salads... Good Luck

You need to simply change up your rotuine
Look at numbers 1-thru-5 on this page
I've hit a plateau in my weight loss. I lost about 8lbs in a month, but for the last 2 weeks, I have lost nothing. 5'2 and 175lbs female age 33. My daily calories are 1200-1400 and I work out at least 4 days a week (usually 6 days). I do 1 hour of Zumba 3 x a week and ellpitical 4-6 times. If I do 1 hour of elliptical and 1 hour of Zumba in the same day, can I over-do it? My hubby thinks I'm "trying too hard". Also, on my elliptical, I listen to music at a moderate pace, but I have 3 or 4 songs that are a much faster pace, making me speed up and slow down, kind of like interval training. Plateaus are the downfall of my weight loss efforts. I don't want this one to stop me now. Aren't I doing everything right? I've only been doing elliptical for 2 weeks. I also have an indoor ski machine.
