I'm finding it hard to lose the weight?

Question

Alright! I've been serious about losing weight since December of last year, so in a few weeks a year exactly. I've been eating healthy food, increasing my fruits and veggies for about three weeks now (after falling off for the a millionth time). I have even cut off all of the "junk" food. I have loss ten pounds with doing that along with exercise, but ten pounds always seem to be my plateau point and it's frustrating to be honest. I like feeling accomplished when I can try on smaller sized clothing and feel good about myself, but now no more weight or INCHES are coming off. Someone please tell me what I am doing incorrectly. It would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you are in a caloric deficit. Eating 'healthy' doesn't necessarily mean you are gonna lose weight. its all about energy in vs energy out.
Don't forget our bodies are extremely adaptable, so if you are in the same deficit for a long period of time, the progress is gonna be really slow. that's why you should have refeeds every now and then, that's a kick to your metabolism to remind your body that is not starving.
Not if you are familiar with macros (protein, carbs, fat) and stuff? If so, you could probably take a look at carb cycling, Im doing that at the moment and I've been having good results :) If you don't know much about I would highly recommend to take a look at that and calculate what yours should look like, because sometimes we think we are eating the right amounts, but it's not always the case ️haha so yeah, I'd recommend that and download something like myfitness pal to log in your food for a couple of days to see how your diet currently looks like and then see what you are doing wrong, a lot of the times is our diet that needs some work
Regarding workouts, try to change it up a bit every now and then too coz your body gets adapted to that as well.

I've had the same problem. Changing to a healthy diet and exercising will make you lose weight in the beginning because you were doing much worse before. Now your body got used to your new lifestyle and has changed accordingly. If you are still not happy with the results there might be 2 reasons out of my experience:

1. You already reached your ideal weight.
2. No matter how healthy your diet is, if you consume (more or less) exactly the same amount of energy your body burns, you won't lose any weight/inches and just stay the same. If you want to keep losing weight, keep eating healthy but reduce the calories a little more.

Hard too say
The fact is that losing weight is the easier as you are more fat I believe
I used to be fat kinda , starter off strong and a lot - lost 10 KG in 2 months, got demotivated and quit a few times after that. Overall lost 13-14 KG im okay in weight now, not exercising right now cause I quit again

just do the right thing and eat the right thing at right time. I've lost 50 lbs with yoga.

Your "diet" seems OK, but see that you get enough calories. You need less than your daily need to loose weight, but if you eat too little, your body goes into starvation mode. Further, to burn fat you need low intensity cardio for long periods (minimum 1/2h but 1 hour or more is better).
