Rider conditioning - plateau

[Bob & Amber Roberts <mlaboure@flash.net>]

I'm trying to get myself in better condition.  I have a new Arab gelding
and want to be in the best shape possible to ride him (so see - this is
endurance related.)  Have been counting calories and walking.  Have lost
10 pounds, but have been stuck at the same weight for 10 days now!  So
this must be what people mean about being stuck on a plateau.  How does
one break a plateau?  Eat more, eat less, exercise more?  I was only
eating 800 to 1000 calories a day and I think my body thought I was
starving.  Any ideas here?
