Still holding at 138. Depressing!
I have been ravenous lately. I also have been running at least 20 miles a week. So why am I not losing weight? My hypothesis is that I am burning a lot of calories and then eating a lot because I am so hungry. (Overeating is more like it.)
I am at work right now and will leave at 3p. But I did a 20 minute boot camp workout this morning before work and ate a light and fit yogurt with water for breakfast so I am feeling good about things.
I just really wanted to weigh 130 by July 18th but I might have to reassess that goal. At this point I will settle for 135 which if I buckle down should be reachable!

Also on EHow.com you can type in How to change a set point and it has information on how to accomplish the new set point.
Keep the faith, you're almost there. You are really doing great.

I am down to 135 from 140. I, too, am sort of plateauing and not losing as much as I'd like, given counting calories and being more physically active. I'd like to be down to 130 by the end of them month. Should be do-able.

Some other ideas are calorie cycling (google it) or just changing your routine - maybe instead of running 20 miles, run 10 miles and swim 10 miles.

also its possible your body is building muscle, which weighs more. have you been measuring yourself?
