I need help with my diet..ive reached a plateau and its bugging me..?

ive lost around 20 pounds in 3 months im now 127 pounds...i want to be 120 pounds..im so close to reaching my goal but its all stopped...i exercise daily (7 times a week) doing 20 minutes jogging...30 minutes rowing and the rest sit ups and squats i also try to walk everywhere i go i.e local store and groceries....i eat healthily but i dont eat an awful lot i have 2 main meals a day with lots of fruit and veg in between and water i know people would say eat 5 6 meals a day but i dont think i can get my head around that routine as i think i would put on more weight...this adds to around 1000 calories a day....if i carry on with this routine throughout summer will i not lose any more weight?? im 18 years old and i know i shouldnt be worried about my weight..ive also got into the phycological phase where i still think i am fat...everyone surrounding me are saying to stop even my teachers....i just want to reach that 120 pounds its just a grasp away!!!

Also even though ive lost 20 pounds why have i only dropped one dress size?

First congratulations on your accomplishments. Not everyone can do it and you have proven yourself to be a strong willed and minded, smart young woman. Dont fret! plateaus are completly normal. Its your bodys way of saying...emmm.....whoa, let me rest for a minute.

It sounds like you are doing a fabulous job. If you want to lose those last stubborn 7 pounds, continue what you are doing, but add the following tricks:

1. water. I dont know how much you drink, but try drinking at least 100 ounces (4, 24 ounce sports bottles of mineral water a day). Its a nice little trick and it works because fat is hydrophobic, it is repellled by water. Water goes in, fat goes out.

2. with your breakfast in the morning, drink a large glass of NATURAL (not from concentrate) grapefruit juice. It is an EXCELLENT and highly effective natural fat burner and it kick starts your metabolism.

3. incorporate 3 servings of yoplait fat free fruit yogurt. It aids in proper digestion and it actually has been known to shrink the waistline. Youve seen the commercials. Plus its yummy :)

4. dont eat 3 hours before bed. If you go to bed at 10, make 7pm your cutoff. If you are hungry, drink hot green tea or ice water.

5. speaking of green tea, with every meal (minus breakfast) and snacks, try lipton diet green tea (the cold kind in the bottles) they have citrus flavor and raspberry. This aids in flushing fat as well.

6. Last but not least, DONT STRESS!!!!!! trust me, stress produces cortisol, which is a nasty ilttle hormone that triggers fat storage, not loss. So stay positive.

If you do what i just said you will lose those other 7 pounds in 3 weeks to a month.

Good luck
