    First off I wanted to congratulate you on losing 17 lbs. I haven't hit that point yet where the weight won't come off. I'm sure I will run in to it sooner or later. I have read that when this happens you are suppose to change up your routine a little. Like try a new exercise, go an extra 10 mins. on the treadmill, drink an extra glass of water a day, or cut out a FEW calories a day. I hope this helps a little. Good Luck!

    Add weight training into your routine 3 days a week. Build your muscle mass! It is much more metabolically active and will change your shape quicker than diet alone! Sometimes our weight plateaus but our shape changes. Try checking your measurements.

    Good luck and keep with it!!!:flowerforyou:

    Yes definitely keep walking, maybe walk a little longer each day and add something else in . Situps and pushups would be fine but it doesn't have to be that. Find something new and active that you enjoy. Like me I am starting to learn kickboxing and I love it. :smile:
