Answers:
You've hit a plateau. What you should do is try to do double cardio a day....do it in the morning before you eat, and again in the afternoon. Only do this to break the plateau...because if you do this for a long time, your body will adjust to the added exercise, and your results will suffer again. Go on a high protein, low carb/low calorie diet for 3 days and up the carbs and calories on the 4th day so your body doesn't get used to the low calorie intake. If you eat a low calorie diet for an extended time period, your body will adjust its metabolism to make up for the lack in calories. Eat 5 small-medium meals a day...this helps boost your metabolism. Also make sure you are lifting weights trying for progressive resistance. Do 3 sets of 6-12 reps. Start with 6 and work your way to 12, once you can do 12, up the pounds by 5. Abs and legs can have more reps 20-25.
Good luck.
