Why cant i lose the weight?



okay.. i basically own a gym at my house.. i dont have it all but i have enough to make almost any boy down here drool.. on an average week i will alternate dumbells(various exercises), bench press, omnigym glider (dont know the proper name), treadmill (run/walk .5-2 mi), stationary bike (3-6 mi), and 100 ab lounges with leg press tread. stationary, karate, leg press, and the ab lounge.. i do it 4 to 5 times a week and on weekends i generally swim, kneeboard, and tube on the lake. i have decreased my calorie intake to 1600 fat intake only 17 per meal I started at being 5'2 weighing 149 and have resulted in 4 months later at being 137.. i need to lose 12 more pounds and i have been working for weeks to drop another pound but it wont come off.. i know im gaining muscle and my body is getting used to this, but i physically cant use my squats or dead lift because i had a knife go up my knee hindering my ability to support that weight. i need to drop those pounds in the next month.. thx

you could possibly be overtraining. take a week off. then when you start back your body will get a boost. also try dropping your calories to 1500 and your fat intake to 10%.
keep working out but also do weight watchers. it is healthy and effective.
you could be gaining muscle. try doing stretches. i heard you lose weight that way. and you should also go on a diet.
I feel for you. It's hard when you plateau.

You could try eating soup for a few days instead of solids.

Or maybe shock your system by going out for burger and fries.

There are supposed to be a number of ways of shocking your system out of a plateau.

If you try one and it works, let me know please!
Check to see if ur insulin resistant with blood test at doc, that was my problem with losing. A pill they give helps that condition and u lose easier.
My first suggestion would be to vary your routine. Your body gets used to the demands placed upon it. You should change your routine about every six weeks. I would recommend walking on the treadmill some days at an easy pace for about an hour. On other days, push yourself to walk at a brisker pace perhaps incorporating some hills. You may also want to consider investing in a heart rate monitor to control the intensity of your workouts and be consistant. Cardio should be the bulk of your workouts, with 5 days a week for 30-60 minutes. Try to accumulate 90 minutes of strength training during the week. Either 2 or 3 days a week. Just be sure to give yourself a day of rest between strength routines. Also, try to eat 5 or 6 small meals per day as opposed to only 2 or 3. I have seen people lose weight, by consuming more calories and eating smarter. Finally, don't exercise on an empty stomach. Try to eat 1-2 hours before your workout and consume a meal containing both protein and complex carbs within 30 minutes of your workout. I hope this helps
