    Are you lifting heavy? I couldn't get below 130 until I started really lifting heavy. No, I didn't bulk up, but I lost a few more pounds and my measurements went down pretty dramatically too! Also, if you haven't readjusted your caloric intake, you might try that. You'll have to experiment though- I had better luck building muscle when I was eating MORE.

    Wow, you are like my twin ;o) To date I have lost 27 pounds and I'm working on losing the last 15 in order to get to my goal weight. I've recently started incorporating weights into my workout routine so I'm hoping that makes a difference for me.

    I life 50 lb's with squats with Chalean...but don't go above that due to a flare up of Bursitis. (Very painful!) My Dr. said the scale isn't moving due to the muscle build up....but it STILL needs to move to hit goal and my healthy BMI

    We'll just have to keep plugging at it...1 lb at a time! I walked 75 minutes today (in 95 degree's)...and biked for around 1 hour....so if nothing else...I probably sweated a pound off! LOL
    :tongue:
