Then how often, how hard and what you are doing at the gym?

If you haven't taken a long hard look at your diet then I would recommend you do that. Track everything you eat for a week or more, you can use this site or www.fitday.com to do that. Find your maintenance calories (the # of calories it takes to maintain your existing weight), then cut 200-300 calories a week till you start to see the inches fall off. Try to eat 6-8 times a day, if you require 1800 calories a day eat 6 meals at 300 calories a piece, try to get some lean proteins with every meal as well. If you're a vegetarian then read up in the Specific Diet thread there's a lot of good information in there that you can use to get protein and still maintain a Vegetarian lifestyle. It's not all about lb's so don't get hung up on scales and weighing yourself and go out and buy a tape measure and track your measurements. I changed my lifestyle almost a year ago and initially lost about 25 lbs in 5 or 6 months. However haven't lost a lb since September, but I need a belt now even though I didn't 6 months ago in the same pair of jeans. Keep up the good work...it does take time for your body to get acclimated to a new lifestyle and more then likely your metabolism came to a stand still prior to you changing what you eat.
