If you already know that all that's required is to eat less and be more active, do that!

I agree with your advice but I am more active now then what I was before when I lost weight, I worked in an office, I just went gym three times a week and ate a low fat diet and lost weight.
This time around I go gym five times a week, I am on a calorie restricted diet and my weight loss has been very slow, 22 lbs in 20 weeks ( 5 months) I hit a weight a weight loss plateau, so last week I started on supplements to help me through it and this week i will hit the weights to help shift it, I can't be anymore active, I think five days a week is enough, i cannot eat less, I eat up to 1,300 so if I am already doing what you have advised me to do and I am more active now then what i was before what else can I do? I am not naive as to believe I can sit and eat cakes and take pills to lose weight, nothing is easy it takes work, I just used to do weights before I didnt like so I was trying to avoid it but since my weight is not shifting I have no choice but to start lifting weights from tomorrow, then I am sure my weight will shift and I will come online and tell the doctor...yep, you were right , I was stubborn....
