Reply With QuoteBody for Life is a good plan; congratulations on your achievement. Now you may be ready to tweak it a bit to get that last bit of fat to go. Try decreasing the carbs a bit and increase the protein. You could also adjust the exercise. I don't know if you' re following BfL exactly, but if you want to see more muscle, you could decrease the reps and sets and increase the weight. BfL is more of a circuit-type routine that uses lighter weight and higher reps/sets to build muscle and burn fat. By building more muscle you'll also help burn the last of the fat.
Other people may have other good ideas.

I am stuck!
I am 5'9, 30 yrs old
Last year I weighed 220 lbs (of fat). I started a diet and got down to 190. Then I started working out and lost 5 more lbs. Then I started the Body for Life plan and got down to 170. Now its almost like I am stuck here.
I need to tone up. I don't care to be hugh but I want to be 'Chizzled' sorta speak. I still have a little belly that is only seeable with my shirt off. I don't look like I have fat on my when I am dressed but I want to see muscle.
Is there anything I should take? I don't want to take anything with major side effects (i.e Ephedira)
Is there anything I should do?
I work out 6 days a week and I am not noticing a change anymore. I pretty much follow the body for life eating program by eating 6 meals a day. I am working on changing it so I only eat unprocessed food. Fresh veiggies fruits and whole cut meats.
Any help would be apprectiated

What about Creatine, sometimes I hear it is good, and some times I hear that it isn't. Somebody told me that it was a 'THEORY' that it helps muscles recover faster.

Try the P/RR/S routine you'll find here. Carb cycling will also work - there are sooo many threads about it.
