    first - you're doing weight training - sore muscles are swollen muscles - you may have water weight fluctuations that are hiding other body composition changes. Keep calm and carry on. Second- you have 2 kids - I don't know anybody with young children who's getting enough sleep (which can affect weight loss). Are you paying attention to your sleep habits?

    Initial weight loss is water weight, then weight loss slows down. With so little to lose you probably should aim for 1/2 lb a week. 2 lb a week is appropriate if you have a lot to lose--you don't. When you lost weight previously did you lose very quickly? Eat a very low calorie diet? Slow and steady is the way to go to keep the weight off and to ensure you aren't losing muscle mass.
