Your body needs a jolt. Id throw in some cardio ans maybe change your foods. Get some lean protein in there

you have to eat diffrent foods everyday. Your body gets used to eating the same food all the time. If your excerising you need to up your caloric intake otherwise you are just starving your body and thats when it says nope not going to shed anymore weight.

change up your exercise routine. Your body also gets used to doing the same thing every time, and it takes less effort to do it once you are used to it. Instead of walking try some ellipical, or even do intervals where you run for a little then walk for a little then run again. Anything to change it up!

All these girls are right on the money... Change up your diet and include some egg whites and turkey bacon for breakfast, grilled veggies and chicken for lunch and maybe some salmon or tuna with broccoli for dinner...

Your body will also get used to you only walking so try and go for a bike ride, or roller blade, or even jumping rope for a solid five minutes will do the trick!

Make sure you're drinking a ton of water and not eating anything past 8 pm.

Also add in some weight training. If you don't have access to free weights of any kind or a gym... then try and do push ups. Challenge yourself by either starting out on your knees and then progressing up to your feet, if that starts getting too easy put your feet up on a step in your house and do them like that, the incline will really work!

For abs, do 10 sit ups, 20 crunches, then repeat until you're dead and can no longer feel your abs

HTH!!! You can do it!!!
