If you've already lost some weight but can't seem to lose the last 5 pounds, you may have hit a plateau. To overcome a plateau, you need to change what you're doing. You don't necessarily have to eat even less than you already were, nor do you have to exercise more, but do different exercises and change what you're eating.It might take days or even weeks for your body to get the gist, but if it finally works, it will be well worth the wait. Another possibility is that when you lose weight, your body's calorie needs change. You need fewer calories when you weigh less. This is probably more likely if you've lost a lot of weight, rather than a little. You could try slightly decreasing your calorie content, but be careful not to eat too little. Another thing that I've heard works for breaking a plateau is "staggering" your calories. So if you had been eating about 1600 a day, you would try instead alternating eating 1800 one day, 1400 the next, 1800 the next, then 1400, and so on... I hope one of these works for you.
