    You are doing a great job. I do agree with those that have mentioned it could be that you are adding muscle or just going through a normal plateau. But, I also, agree it could be that you are not drinking enough water, especially if you are nursing, this is very important. I know if I don't drink enough water, it is definitely harder for me to lose. The other factor, though, that I have not seen mentioned yet, though, is you may not be getting enough sleep, which would only be natural with a new infant to take care of. Give it time, it will come off. Again you are doing great!

    Love, the comment about this being America and it will still be available next year. Thanks for the extra incentive for trying to have willpower.

    First...congratulations on a great job! (The baby is adorable and the weight loss admirable.) I think a lot of people plateau at some point from what I've read here and googled. I've been plateaued for a couple of weeks now (sigh* discouraging but apparently normal) and am trying to break it by changing the exercise routine and schedule. So wish me luck!
    All I know with any certainty is that I am doing a good thing for my body, and having fun to boot!

    Thank you all for your encouraging words. I'm going to try to focus on what I'm eating and lower the fat and carbs. I think it mat be time to clean off the recubant bike... It's been a clothes rack for a while now.



    Thanks again.
