I've been trying to lose weight for about a while now, i recently lost about 25 pounds in about lets say.. 5 or 6 months leaving me at about 150 on a average scale from your local Target. I never kept track through out the months but I slowly pushed myself into getting MORE active and eating correctly. I'm a biker who probally rides between 20-50 miles a week, I might be wrong and I try to do as much push ups and crunches I can within the week. I live in LA and I recently graduated from highschool less then a month ago. I want to have a fitter body to raise my selfesteem and less fat around the thighs and stomach region. I've always had big thighs for some reason and never had a six pack. So what my question is, should I keep doing what I been doing? OR Should I step up my game another notch? If so, what can I do to do so?

the scale is really not all that important a measurement of how you're doing in the grand scheme of things - how have your measurements change -how are your clothes fitting? How is your fitness level? have all those gone for the better?
How are you defining eating correctly? How many calories a day are you getting? Eating healthy is good but it's still very very possible to get too many calories of good foods and you won't lose weight - you need to use fewer calories than you take in. Learning about proper portion sizes is a good place to start...
Six pack abs are a by product of fat loss on the belly - all the crunches in the world won't give you a six pack if you still have belly fat - what will get rid of that... is losing that fat.. generally by reducing the number of calories - but it's tough to reduce unless you know how many you're taking in to begin with.
