The first 30 pounds were so easy to lose. Now I'm stuck. I reverted to my old habits for a bit and gained a couple pounds. Now I'm trying to get back on track. Anyone else stalled like me?

    I was. Lost 30 pounds, plateaued, then gained 5. Now I just lost those 5 again and I'm hoping I can keep losing now. It took me upping my calories (and not counting for a while) and going back down again to get my body back to losing again. Sometimes you just stall out and have to do a bit of a reset. It's frustrating, but slow and steady wins the race! I started losing in October of 2010 and it's been really slow sometimes and really quick others. Just have to be patient which is so hard!
