As weird as it's going to sound... stop running. Find some other form of exercise to do. Your body gets used to the running and it then becomes harder to use running to get yourself to lose weight. Try biking, rollerblading, aerobics, jumping rope, etc. You should vary the kind of exercise you do to keep your body "guessing." You can come back to running later, but don't stop changing it up!

This may sound entirely wrong, but I'm here to tell you that it works! Eat something fattening.
A lot of times what can happen is that our body goes into "starvation mode", or "conservation mode" if you will. Since you probably aren't supplying your body with much fat, your body, in an effort to be conservative, will try to hold on for dear life to the fat it already has, lol.
Not to worry. You just have to indulge every once and a while.
Note: Don't do this often--just when you notice this type of stalling.
This advice may sound backward, but I promise you it works. Many doctors and health advisors have written articles about this phenomenon, as well.
Good luck and keep up your exercise routine, by all means. You'll be back to losing in no time. :)

Your body will adapt to lower calories intake. This is an old survival mode of the body to make your food intake go further. Do not worry, try this. Increase the intensity of your running, just a bit. run a little faster and a little farther. or add some sprints in the middle of a run. This will naturally burn more calories. Also you may want to add a little resistance exercise, weight lifting or push ups, pull ups, etc. Resistance exercise burns calories quicker than aerobic activity and continues to burn them longer after the exercise is over. This can help. Look at the diet and see if you can tweak it a bit, but do not worry.

it is normal to stall a little bit every once in a while, say most dieticians. don't lose faith and just keep doing what you are doing. the weight will start coming off again soon enough. ive been on a diet once or twice in my life and everytime i have stalled but after a while the weight started coming off again.

Sorry to be the bearer of undesirable information, yet foodstuff regimen is an excellent larger area of weight alleviation than workout. while you're no longer eating a nicely-balanced foodstuff regimen it is wealthy in protein, calcium, fiber and mono-and-polyunsaturated fat (and frequently without quickly foodstuff, junk foodstuff, comfortable beverages, saturated fat, trans fat, and intense fructose corn syrup) you ought to artwork out for a number of hours an afternoon and nonetheless no longer drop 10-20 pounds in 2 months. to grant you an occasion: i grew to become into doing 30 minutes of cardio a minimum of 5 situations each and every week and potential coaching 3 days each and every week, and that i grew to become into gaining flab. the reason? i grew to become into eating too lots and many what i grew to become into eating grew to become into rubbish. So I adjusted my foodstuff regimen, and that i've got been dropping between 4 and 5 pounds each and every week for the previous month. foodstuff regimen will make you or smash you.

Over the years my weight has gone up and down... and always gets frustrating dieting when you hit those plateaus....
Sounds like what you are doing is healthy. Keep it up and don't watch the scales so much!

Your body is probably adjusting to your new activity level. Try to increase the intensity of your workout a bit but maintain the same caloric intake.

Keep doing what you've been doing..your body needs to take a break once in awhile from 're-adjusting'...it'll start back up in a week or so.
You're fine--don't change anything.

It mite take some more time. Try and ask your doctor. Some people's bodies don't react as fast as others.
