I weighed 260 lbs about a year ago and I was steadily losing weight until I hit 225 lbs at the end of the July and I seem to be stuck there. My workout routine consists primarily of lifting a few days a week and mixing in cardio. I've been running a few days a week lately. Any suggestions on how to switch things up? I want to get down to about 210, or whatever weight I need to be fully ripped.
Do you have a severely restricted diet? If so take a week or two break from your diet, and eat a lot more; don't worry you won't gain much extra weight back from this, especially if you continue exercising (don't increase though).
If he's on a severely restricted calorie diet, or doing more cardio than his calorie intake allows...his metabolism has probably been compromised and has slowed tremendously. To reverse this, a slight overfeeding of calories is needed.
I'm not on a severely restricted diet, and I don't count calories either. My diet is mostly eating lean and healthy foods 80% of the time, with two or three crappy meals mixed in per week.
If you've been doing this for a while though, you're BMR would still adjust to this new routine. So you either need to further restrict your diet (I would not recommend) or increase your diet for 1-2 weeks then bring it back down. That's just the way I see it; I can't see there being anything else that would keep you from losing weight.
Just keep doing what ever you're doing, but increase you're diet; don't increase the intensity of the workout (I know it's tempting).
How big are your meals? Just wondering because even though you said you were not on a calorie restricted diet, guys on here are telling you to increase your caloric intake.
