You have to mix it up, increase distance or pick up the pace.
Adding muscle increases weight but your are more efficient at burning calories.
I'm not sure using supplements are a good idea. Goals can be attained by hard work and the right attitude. I messed with Ephedra years ago. Not good. No wonder they banned it. Tolerance builds up in a matter of a few weeks, need to use more $$. Then you come off it and crash... ugh.

That all sounds about right!
Although my 1st successful diet stayed pretty routine and I still lost a ton. I think minus the supplements are the better choice. I honestly don't know if the Release product I took was Ephedra or not, I scoured the internet a couple times trying to find out but no luck. I never felt goofy or anything scary but had lots of energy. One might argue it could be caffeine or something but i'm pretty non-reactive to common stimulants. Kinda leads me to think it was Ephedra...
