Q: After 8 weeks of following a diet and excerise plan my progress has stalled. What should i do?

For the past 8 weeks i've been religously following a diet and excerise plan. 5 days out of the week i do aerobic exercise for 45-60 min (a different work out dvd each time) followed by 40 min of strength and toning exercises using free wieghts. I also keep a food diary and eat between 1500-1600 calories a day. I've revamped my diet so that i eat a lot healthier: whole wheat breads and pastas, lots of veggies and fruits, and lean meats. After the first 6 weeks I lost 11 pounds, but now after two weeks i havent lost anything what should i be doing differently?
