Some thoughts. First, with all of your exercise you may not be eating enough calories. Essentially the exercise may be telling your body to conserve calories because it is not getting enough nutrition. Some trainers will recommend a high/low regime. For three days eat at the lower end of your calorie range and then on the fourth day eat more calories. Second, change your exercise routines. The body adapts to exercise which means you need to increase the intensity to get the heart rate up. For a big guy like me this could lead to joint problems and pain. My trainer has me switch up my cardio every 4 or 5 weeks. He just switched me away from the bike and has me on the stair master. Now after about 5 minutes of stairs my heart rate is where it was after 25 minutes on the bike. Third, think about taking supplements. Some studies suggest chromium may help the body better manage sugars and thus help with weight loss. Try spreading your nutrition through out the day (5 or six small meals vs 3). Up your fluids.
