Frequently, people trying to lose weight will discover that the things they did the first few weeks to lose weight suddenly don't work anymore. It's not that the diet doesn't work; usually the issue is that your body has gotten used to what you are doing, and has adjusted itself in self-preservation. Whatever diet plan you are following, have another one ready as a back-up. If you are on a low-carb, high protein diet, try going to an exchange-type diet, continuing to keep an eye on carbohydrates, fats, and sodium. There are a hundred different diets out there - some heavy in fruits, some heavy in protein, some heavy in grains. Stay away from the ones that don't make any sense to you or that seem too daunting, but look for something you can do differently.
Supplement the change in diet with a corresponding change in activity. If your activity has consisted mainly of walking or light weights, find another form of exercise that you can do. And don't be afraid to sweat or feel muscle soreness! Some of you older folks may be somewhat limited in what kinds of activities you can do, but be creative (and careful!).
