John, my advice is the opposite if Phil's. If you are up to it, rather than lighten up on exercise, I find changing up my exercise or increasing my interval work often shifts a stall. I will switch from straight sets of weights to pyramid sets, or alternate long sets with less weight with short sets with failure weights. For cardio, I find the interval training is the best weight dropper I know. The morning after a hard Interval workout I almost always show a drop.
