I have lost 16lbs but cant seem to lose anymore. I was wondering if I should do

some other type of exercising or something different as I have heard that

    Your body has just hit a plateau and got used to the exercises, so it is not burning as many calories in the process. Try mixing in some strength training workouts at least 3 days a week. Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, so this will help you as well. Also how many calories are you eating a day? You may need to bump that down a couple hundred for a week or so, see if you get any results from that. Hope this helps! Congratulations in your weight loss thus far! :)
