Hi, /r/loseit,

I am a petite individual who is by no means overweight, but am unhappy with the weight I am at, and want to be my best self by losing the few extra pounds that can make a difference. I have two main problem areas - I am an apple shape, which leads to any extra weight collecting on the front of my stomach, making my it stick out and not be flat, which has been an area of self-consciousness for years, and I would like to create more of a thigh gap. 

When I began my weight-loss efforts, I "easily" lost the first 8 lbs by going to the gym (running, body weight exercises, some dumbbell exercises) and counting calories - both of which I still do, yet I have completely stopped losing weight. For reference, I calculated that I should be eating 1600 calories a day to lose one pound a week, and this food amount generally fits well for me (though I never lose the one pound it promises). I would love advice on how to kick me out of this plateau and help me successfully shed the belly and thigh fat.
