I've been working out for about a year now and lost 25 lbs, going from 265 to 241. But now I have plateau'ed and cant seem to get anywhere past 241 242 for almost the past month. I work out about 2 hours a day 5 days a week. Basically, mondays and thursdays i work on arms, tuesdays and fridays chest shoulders and wednesday i do back and legs. Except for for wednesday I run between 2 to 3 miles for the last half hour of my workout, depending on how my knee feels. And if I miss a day I use saturday as a backup. It just seems like I am doing alot of work and not getting anywhere.

I am tempted to take supplements, but i dont want to take any type ephedrine like hydroxycut. I would rather lose it naturaly. I am tempted to forgo some of the weightlifting i do and go more cardio and get something like billy blanks boot camp and do that for a month.

If any suggestions can be made I would love the help, my current goal is to lose the weight and get to about 210 220 that like the perfect body weight for my body type.
 
too much exercise...once the body gets used to doinf the same thing over and over it uses less energy to accomplish each time after you do it...you need to give it a new challenge to rise to so i suggest this:

- do 2 - 3 days without carbs...none at all...train both days...on 3rd day train again and after workout have protein shake than abouit 125 - 175grams of carbs...anything you want just don't have any fat for ther next 2 - 3hrs if you can

- training wise do the exact opposite of what you were doing...if doing high reps, do low reps etc...give it something you haven't done before so as to shock the body and make him go again

- do this for about 2 weeks and see how you go but you'll need to change your entire program as well and nutrition needs to improve on top of what is is presently
