Don't stop. Here's some things you could try:
* Change Exercise routine - add some variety to the exercise you are doing to work different muscles and keep your body from getting too adjusted to the one exercise you do frequently.
* Weights - try doing using some light weights to work your muscles. Strength workouts are a great way to burn more calories.
* Move more - take breaks in your day to walk around, use the stairs, add any thing that keeps you moving around during the day.

Thank you for replying! I forget about changing up my exercise routine, that is something I can definitely do. I was thinking the other day about adding an arm workout back in to tone those muscles. It's too bad we're going into winter time, I like to walk too.
I have been doing a lot better with moving more since I got my FitBit. I like trying to hit my goal of 8,000 steps a day, and it makes me feel enough guilt in multi-floor buildings that I've stopped taking the elevator.
I think I need to find another type of cardio to do. I have a bike in my apartment, so that one is easy.
