Can seem to get off the last 15lbs????

I have about 15lbs to reach goal and I just can't seem to get there. I am eating about 800 to 1000 calories a day, I work out for about an hour 4 to 5 times a week and I try to change it up on the treadmill. I do strength training about 2 times a week but I can't seem to push past this current weight. Does anyone have any suggestions to boost my metabolism and get me past this hurdle?

The strength training might actually be making you gain muscle which would make you put on a little weight or what have you. I say more cardio and less strength. The more you move around the more you should lose. Just a suggestion. =)

Also wanted to say you probably need more intake of calories. 800 - 1000 considering your exercise level is not sufficient, and will actually shut down your metabolism.

Try increasing your caloric intake with complex carbs and high quality Protein. Also try changing up your exercise routine. Bike instead of run, do weight training with different body parts. Try kickboxing, p90x, or Zumba

You body has become complacent with the current regime. Throw it a curve ball or two, and you will most likely see great results.

I try to practice what I preach, but my problem is I still intake way to many calories, and the good to bad ratio is not where it needs to be.
