Fitness Questions - Tricks To Keep Losing Weight!

Fitness Question:
I have lost 63 pounds over 2 years on the weight watchers program. Since July, I have started walking and now own a treadmill and exercise 1 hour 4 times a week. I have noticed that my weight loss is at a stand still. Should I cut back on my food intake in order to see results on the scale? I am still following the weight watchers program and I am doing the same thing I have done since I joined. I need some advice on how to make the exercise work with the diet now in order to reach my goal weight.

Fitness Answer:
First of all, congratulations on your amazing weight loss on the Weight Watchers program! If your current cardio routine has started to plateau your weight loss, try switching to a high intensity cardio exercise which will burn more calories and keep your body's metabolism stoked throughout the day. Great examples are sprints, jumping rope and spinning. Limit these sessions to 20 minutes. Here is a great article on burning major calories with different cardio exercises:

1. Fuel The Body with a nutritionally dense diet
   
2. Build The Muscle with weight training
   
3. Burn The Fat with cardio exercise
