You can do 3 things to get you losing weight again: consume less calories, increase your daily activity level or both. Our bodies adapt very quickly so you need to continually change things, whether that be your diet or workout routine. Stay motivated and you'll reach your goal. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
