Weight loss Plateau

I seem to have hit a plateau - which can be good or bad - bad because I am not seeing the scale move - good because it means I am not gaining, and when I do lose it will, hopefully, be substantial.

So here is what I am doing:

- trying not to eat too much - I need to look more at the calories and nutrient value

- exercising on the Tony Little Gazelle - I feel like I am getting a good workout -    generally for 30 minutes a day - wondering if it is a good enough workout

- strength exercises - right no with 3 lb weights - arms mainly - and then squats, leg lifts, arm circles

In a month, the scales are done 7 pounds - which is not bad - I have been used to losing more, but that was because I was really strick on a diet - the diet of choice was usually the Atkins, low carb diet - I have lost 45 lbs 3 different times.... and of course have gained it all back.

So this time I am trying the slow and steady, lifestyle change.
