I lost 10 lbs since I started jogging but have since plateaued. Why?

Q: I lost 10lbs since I started jogging around three months ago, but I have since plateaued.  Why is this?

A: First of all, good job for taking up exercise!  Don’t let the plateau discourage you.  It’s really quite simple; You need to either jog longer, harder, or slightly lower your calorie intake to shed more weight.  Basically you stopped burning more calories than you were taking in because you were hauling around 10lbs less than before, so your not burning as many calories.
