I had a three week stall too and it came around the 32lb. mark! I lost 3 lbs this week after waiting the three weeks! I guess sometimes its stalls and we need to check "under the hood" and try something different. I actually ate more calories and exercised differently...not more minutes, but diff. exercises. Just hang in there! I'm battling a knee injury, so I have to continue to adjust my workouts!!!
Keep Going!:bigsmile:

shake up your workout- Your body gets bored just like we do.. So if what you normally do is walk- Try jogging/running- go faster go harder.

I just got a WII so I did 30 minutes on that too yesterday---but didn't log it in---hoola hoop and dance step---I tried a yoga step---yikes I have no balance at all---I bet it will give me a hard time tomorrow fo skipping today!:ohwell: I really should get out the bike and straighten the spokes!

keep plugging along and watch the sodium and carbs....:flowerforyou:

I need to start tracking sodium--I don't do that and I do have edema---which I attributed to damage from surgery. Good ideas--thanks

You definitely need to vary your routine. As you do one particular exercise, your body becomes both mechanically and physiologically more efficient--which means you burn fewer calories.

Adding new activities, doing interval training can both help. If you are not doing any strength training, I would definitely recommend adding that first.

Keep changing it up, run, walk, jog, sprint, I am constantly changing the speed on the tread and upping and downing the intensity of the elliptical.:flowerforyou:

I just started a couch to 5K program where you walk then jog in intervals. I'm at the 30 pound mark so almost where you are, and it definitely shook my body up! If you can do it, I would recommend it. And I'm a big girl still but amazingly not having any knee pain or anything from doing it (previous knee surgeries, was told I'd never walk again LOL here I am running). Although I dont' have the stamina to do the full time, I started at doing it for 15 mins and building my way up.
