 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?

To trigger fat burning, exercise at 55%HR Max HR Minus Resting HR X .55 
+Resting HR) and continue that exercise (same speed) until HR drifts up 5 
points. This will put you in adipose tissue burning mode for up to 12 hours.
