The key to losing weight is to eat healthy and excercise regularily. You should also be drinking 6 cups of water per day, that realy realy helps. The more weight you loose and the closer to your goal weight you get the harder it is to loose those few extra pounds. But don't give up! If you do it this time and keep up your healthy lifestyle, you'll never have to loose the weight again. Good luck!

Maintaining and increasing exercise is a help. As you lose a lot of weight, your calorie needs drop because you aren't carrying that lard around. Just try carrying 13 pounds of sand and see how much extra work that is--that takes extra calories to carry around, too. You will need to step up exercise to make up for that. Strength training exercises will step up the metabolism, too. Staying with your diet is also difficult. Many people start cheating about the 4th or 5th week. This will slow weight loss as well. Or, you have a pizza or a too-large cheeseburger one day, get discouraged with the scale the next day, and give up. Monitoring your diet may not prevent cheating, but at least you will know what went wrong. There is also a chance that something is wrong healthwise. Liver problems are often unnoticed and take the form of stubborn weight, often with low energy. Most drugs, including non-prescription ones, poison the liver. If you eat fast "food", that can poison your metabolism (it is better called fast, good tasting poison). A good cleanse may rid you of a quick 3-20 pounds of undigested gunk and/or poison-bearing fluid, and then improve your metabolism. Many supplements, including those from Herbalife, will give you a boost and help you get back on track. Alpha lipoic acid and milk thistle will boost liver function as well. Finally, checking with a doctor may reveal problems you didn't know you had--just don't let them prescribe more drugs for conditions that could be better treated with natural remedies.

If you wish to speed up or keep constantly losing weight, you must use phentramin-d which can provide your body with high metabolism. As you can read here, http://p.gs/rwkvo, it helps in burning away the excess calories and keep you energetic through out. I'm using it and getting great results.
