Change up your routine.. When you do the same thing for a while - your body will %26#039;get used to it%26#039;...
Try a different work out and some different foods... You may break your plateau!

Thats common. Its hardest to loose the last few pounds. You need to switch up your workouts. If your body becomes accustomed to doing the same thing over and over again, you won%26#039;t see the same results anymore. Drinking plenty of water, and eating 5 -6 small meals per day will speed up your metabolism.

I think the answer is right there in your question... you are deliberately eating less than 1200 calories a day, and your body thinks it%26#039;s going into starvation mode with the low calories and heavier workload of extra exercise. It will begin to slow it%26#039;s metabolism to conserve energy (fat) stores. It thinks it will starve to death and is desperately trying not to let that happen.
Go back to the 1200 calories, don%26#039;t dip below that. You could even add another 100 calories a day, preferrably in the form of complete protein, such as a large hardboiled egg.
Going too low doesn%26#039;t make it go faster, it actually slows you down and makes it easier to gain when you go %26quot;off%26quot; your diet!
sounds crazy, but it%26#039;s true, you aren%26#039;t eating ENOUGH to lose weight faster! 3% 3 Votes -

Relax. It is very common for a person to loose a whole bunch of weight at first %26amp; then level off. Remember, when you exercise, you%26#039;re burning fat %26amp; gaining muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat- some people even see a slight gain. Just keep exercising, drink PLENTY of water %26amp; continue to eat healthy. A pound a week is better than nothing, right? Don%26#039;t give up! Good luck!

dont eat less
it makes it worse because your body NEEDS the food. What you have to check is on WHAT you eat. Maybe look up a food pyramid on the internet and hold yourself to it.
You can do some sports too for the fun of it when you have fun then it wont be a drag to loose the weight and maybe you should exercise everyday and dont slouch down but of course you also have to rest.
I hope this helps:) 2% 2 Votes -

- losing weight takes time. you should never be in a hurry to do it. BUT - one thing that can jump start a diet is detoxing. I used nature%26#039;s secret fast and detox program. I lost about 10 pounds in a week, but gained back 5 because it was mostly water weight. It literally cleans you out and included are appetite suppressants and nutritional pills. The only thing I did differently than on the box is I could not stomach the fiber drink, so I used nature%26#039;s secret ultimate fiber. I also drank 100% natural juice to get the pills down and I did have a chocolate shredded (20oz) every day for lunch from the smoothie king. I felt great after wards. the only side effects were a caffein headache the first three days but after that, I woke up feeling sooooo good.
