weight loss goal

Is 5 pounds a week a resonable amount to loose?  If so, can I loose more? How? Cut calories? I've tried everything and its pretty much just staying at a ooss of 5 a week.

Depending on how much you need to lose, 5 pounds can be not a lot or way too much. I started loosing at 7 pounds a week and now I am lucky if I can lose a pound a week. The closer you get to your goal the harder it is to lose.

One thing that I do when I see that I have reached a plateau is change up my excercise or eating habits. Your body gets to its peak performance once it gets used to something and kind of stabilizes your metabolism. I like to try a new class at the gym or something like that to jolt my body out of it and begin burning again.
