make it 6 meals or so. every 2-3 hours will keep that metabolism going to burn that fat

Hmmmm ... is it related to osteoporosis perhaps?  I'd get that checked.  If is is only fatty tissue then further weight loss should do it if you need to lose more weight.

When was the last time you hada  complete physical? Check out your Thyroid, it may be underactive = slower metabolism. Im not an expert (yet) so go see one!\ngood luck.\nbe sure to mention youre a vegetarian and for how long. \n\nOne more idea- Genetics & lifestyle.

perhaps it could be your diet has changed; are you eating more or less?  Usually sudden weight loss (keeping all other variables constant) indicates a health problem.  Most people will tell you to go see a physician...

you won't see very impressive results without some exercise. if you cut down on your calories too much your body will store the fat. try cutting out sodas, sugars, and other processed snacks for one. add more protein to your diet too.

if you value your health..see a doctor. I suspect it's related to your sugar level.

No matter what the reason you might want to vary your workout. You will see a much better result. You have probably plateaued

try doing more reps at the "plateau" and eventually you will get over it. also try other exercises to strengthen the muscles you use in benching.

Don't despair, you've done GREAT so far and stalling like this is perfectly normal.  It sounds like you've made all the dietary changes you can make, so I suggest you focus on keeping up your activity level and/or boosting your metabolism.  \n1) Keep up the exercise, and look for ways to incorporate more movement into your daily activities.  Every little bit helps.\n2) Green tea or green tea extract is believed to help the body burn more fat and carbs.  It's worth a try.\n3) Try not to stress out too much -- I suspect stress helps to keep us fat.  \n4) CONGRATULATE YOURSELF.  You've already added years to your life and vastly improved your quality of life.  Way to go!

well that is because you are gaining muscle weight not loosing fat wieght. You should try a cardio workout. like swimming or running to loose the weight

I can relate to how you feel.  At times I get that feeling that my metabolism isn't working and I feel my belly area is experiencing some kind of miscontrol and then I start seeing this belly fat.  Sometimes there is no easy answer, but try to have good eating habits such as eating fruits, vegatable, raw nuts & olive oils, clean proteins (broiled, grilled chicken/fish and eat less red meats, and a lot less junk foods (processed, frozen, etc...read labels).  Drink water most of the time instead of fruit juices, soda (even diet) or alcohol which all contribute to weight gain because of the sugar contents or the so called empty calories from diet drinks.  Try "The Zone" diet (goto zoneperfect.com), you eat normal foods but it's all about portion sizes and sugar level balancing which help you lose weight, burn fat and decrease that feeling in the belly.  Make sure you are getting enough fiber and take a daily multi-vitamin.  Hope this helps.

You might be gaining weight through your fat turning into muscle, which weighs more.\n\nI'd stop doing any weights in the gym, and do more cardiovascular work. If you get a bad back stick to more swimming- I'd go everyday if possible.

Do you eat sugar?   If so, stop........the pounds will drop.  Are you active?  If not.......get active.  \n\nIf you do not see a difference in one week or even 2 days.  I'll eat my words.

most likely you had reached a plateau , and eating more actually revved your system up , and charged your metabolism

I don't think you are over wait.  Probably all the weight is coming from all the muscle you have.  Muscle weighs more then fat does.  So i don't think so. As long as you eat right and excercise then i think you are in great shape.

Thats normal.  a few pounds unstable is not serious.  \n\nWorry yourself if your weight keeps dropping or you don't stop getting heavier.

Your body may be at a plateau.  Give it time to adjust.  Your body may be trying to play "catch up" with your loss and is "getting used to" your new weight.  Depending on how much you're exercising, you may actually not be eating enough.  Also, when you add exercise, you may see a gain the first 2 weeks or so and then you'll start seeing a loss, however, you'll see your clothes fitting differently.  If you attend meetings, talk to your leader. She can look at your food diary and see what you're doing & make suggestions.
