If you have hit a plateau then you have a few options in regards to continuing to lose weight. First if you have been doing the same routine you need to adjust it so that its either harder or just completely different then what you have been doing. Also try changing your routine up every two months.

Secondly you stated you have changed your diet but to what aspect. Are you actually eating less or just differnt foods. You have been losing weight so you are going to have to eat less than you needed before. If a person is 150lbs and needs 1500 calories to lose weight then when you are 120 you are probably going to need just 1250 in order to lose weight.

Lastly it could be that you are at you goal weight and your body just needs to adjust to all the weight lost that you have made. Of course without actually seeing you I can't tell if this is your situation.

Here are some HIIT (high intensity interval training that I would suggest to add a little more to your work out)

In addition to the advicenator below, not just changing up your routine with new exercises but work *harder* or *longer* will help you to keep challenging yourself.

Hi,
I think the reason you probably hit a plateau is because your body is getting used to your routine. If you haven't incorporated excercise into your routine, try that. Pick a cardio activity that you enjoy and I guarantee you will see quick results. I hope I helped.
Good luck with your weight loss.
