    Let guess... you have your goal at 1200 and you don't always eat that much --- and you set your weightloss goal at 2lb a week and you only have about 20 to lose?

    If that sounds familiar --- you are eating too little. Change your goals to 1/2lb or 1lb a week and see what happens.

    ^^^^^This^^^^^ I looked at a week or two and you rarely eat your exercise calories.....try it, just for one week and see what happens!!!!

    Exactly. Remember that you are already set up for a significant calorie deficit. Take it over 800-1000/day, and you launch starvation mode -- which causes your body to store EVERYTHING that it can as fat -- which is self-defeating, to say the least. Don't exceed your recommended calorie deficit (already set up with your calorie goal). If you've launched starvation mode, it may take exceeding your calorie goal for a while to kick-start your body back.

    Good luck!

    Mine hasn't budged in about three or four months, but just today someone said, "Wow, you are looking great. You must really be working hard." And I am. It's just not showing on the scale, it's showing on my body. It is very frustrating, but comments like that are what keep me going.
