I can't seem to lose much right now. I'm eating and exercising the same so I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone ever experienced a plateau, where it seems like no matter what you do, you're stuck at or near the same weight for a long time? If so, are there any tips/things I can do to push myself past this hurdle?

Reply from Ally13, Age 22 - 06/08/10 - IP#: 74.92.246.xxx That is actually quite possibly the reason I'm stuck. I haven't switched things up in awhile (just doing the 30 day shred mainly). Now that summer's here, I'll have to try outside sports like swimming, tennis, etc. Thanks for the suggestion!
Reply from Emily, Age 20 - 06/05/10 - IP#: 173.79.45.xxx Hi Ally, I definitely know where you are coming from. I started at about 180 and I'm down to about 139 right now. I was stuck at 145 for a long time, and like you I was eating well and exercising. Just recently, I joined a new gym which had a treadclimber machine, which I had never used before. In 3 weeks I have lost 6 pounds! I think the trick is not necessarily this particular machine, but changing up your work out routine. I'm not sure what you typically do, but I was definitely stuck in a gym rut, doing the same type of things everytime. I suggest finding a new cardio machine or class or trying a different type of workout to boost your weight loss! Best of luck!
