DON'T PANIC!!! For starters, your weight and BMI do not tell the whole story. Body fat percentage is a much better indicator of progress, so if you can get someone at the gym to measure that for you, I'd advise you to take advantage of it.

I will warn you that it's harder to lose those last few pounds the closer you get to your goal. Doesn't mean it's impossible; just means they won't come off as easily as your first ten pounds did. Since you're getting closer to your goal, you probably need to change up your routine. Here's a suggestion:

(1) For this final push, try to work out 6 times a week. Every other day, don't do cardio. Instead, do circuit training (where you do one set of strength training exercises and move directly to the next set with little or no rest in between). Here's a basic circuit workout:

Squats
Bench press
Lat pulldowns
Military press
Upright rows
Triceps pushdowns
Leg extensions
Bicep curls
Leg curls

For each exercise, select a weight that is between 60% and 70% of the maximum amount of weight you can raise doing that exercise with good form (your one-rep max). Do 12 repetitions with that weight, taking one second to raise it with good form and two seconds to lower it with good form. For the first two weeks, do the circuit twice. After that, start doing it three times.

(2) On your alternating days, do cardio but no more than 30-40 minutes worth. Too much cardio can make you lose muscle, which will be counterproductive to your efforts. Instead of going longer, push yourself harder in your runs.

(3) At least once a week, replace one of your cardio workouts with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Here's how it works: After warm-up and stretching, do a 30-second sprint followed by 90-120 seconds of low-pace jogging. Repeat 8-12 times. As you get used to it, you can increase your sprint time or decrease your low-pace time (or both), but you shouldn't repeat more than 15 times.

If changing your routine doesn't work, you'll really have to watch your diet. It may involve counting calories and computing nutrient ratios, but for now just keep following your common-sense diet plan. If you need to adjust, put up another post here in a few weeks and we'll hook you up.

Good luck!

Honey, don't worry too much. As long as you are exercising and eating well, you should be fine. You mentioned that you did some weights too, didn't you? If your weight goes up, that could mean that you're gaining muscle to replace the fat. Muscles weigh more than fat. Keep in mind that you are losing fat in order to get skinnier. You may gain some weight due to muscle build up in the first few months. Also, keep in mind that when you're doing cardio, you are using your muscles. When you run, you build up calf muscles. When you do steps, you're working out your lower abs and legs too. All these things can cause muscle build up. So I wouldn't worry too much =).

Answer 4

Are you consuming more food or calories? If not, then its probably muscle. But, to continue losing weight, I would suggest changing your diet and drop your carb intake. Keep in mind to slowly decrease your calories, 100 calories a day each week, continue doing this for 4 weeks (by week 4, you should be consume 400 less calories), then re-evaluate your measurement, if necessary continue to drop the calories.

Answer 5

With your weight, fluctuation of 3-4 lb is very normal. Just drinking water could add a pound. Jeans weighs 1-2 lb. I wouldn't worry.

Answer 6

you are probably putting on a little bit of muscle.. and 30% is a wonderful bmi.. you are healthy and that's what is important, not that you get to a numerical value... also remember that water weight and what clothes you have on can make a few pounds difference.

Answer 7

you really should not worry about this. I'm 5'7 and 130. and i want 2 gain at else 10 or 15 pounds. i guess we all have the same thoughts. i am really skinny. everyday someone will ask why r u so tall? or why r u so shinny? i hate that. but i know that u look fine.

Answer 8

maybe cause you are starting to build muscle mass? not sure though, our bodies work in strange and mysterious ways.
