It is one of the most annoying feelings to be in a plateau. But you are so right just keep going and you will break it!!  

There is a lot you can do to get the scale moving. Try a week of eating 1500 a day. As you lose, you need less calories to keep losing. If you don't exercise, start (and can). If you do exercise, switch it up. Up you duration or intensity. Add some strength training/circuit training. Up your protein and high fiber foods. Ask yourself if you have been slacking. After a while, we aren't as strict with our foods and tend to eat more than we think we do. Get strict with tracking. I started using Bob Harper (Biggest Loser trainer)"Ultimate Cardio Body" and it promises extreme weight loss workout. I can already see a difference in my body and on the scale. It's a really tough work out with lunges, weights and some plyo exercise. Some of them I jog in place or you can march in place. But it works. So start changing things up.  

:) thanks for the tips Suzi. I am very religious with my calorie tracking and keep my average monthly at 1750 or below (what every website says I need to loose ~2 pounds a week). I actually hit my plateau when I switched up my workout. It got too cold outside so I took the time I used to walk and now swim and some other exercise.
