He said what?!

One thing I've learned, a positive attitude will be your rock when the scale won't budge! That will happen from time to time, don't give up! It has to mean more to you than a number. Think about how much better you will feel. Chasing after that one year old when you fuel your body with good healthy food and keep it strong with good healthy exercise. It's worth every drop of sweat! You can do this momma! Read up on staying hydrated and food protein to carb ratios. I live in Texas too and the heat will suck the life right out of you! Rooting for you!

Jillian Michaels workouts are tough! Good for you for keeping up with it.

IMO, and I didn't look at your diary, but pay attention to not just how much but also WHAT you're eating. Upping natural lean protein, cutting back on sugar and carb calories, and focusing on lots of veggies may help break you through your stall.

Culturally, men (and a lot of women) think they need to offer advice when all we are trying to do is vent and get a little sympathy. Maybe mention to him that sometimes you don't need a "fix" of the problem, just a little emotional support through it.

Congrats on your successes! Take measurements and see how your clothes are fitting - you may be surprised at seeing success in ways other than on the scale.

A month isn't really that long for your body to adjust to changes. You did change something partway through as I noticed your calorie goal dropped. Some of your burns seem a little high but again those are estimates. Find a balance somewhere and stick with it. You didn't gain the weight overnight, so be patient and let it happen.

Weigh and measure your foods accurately - if you don't have a scale yet buy one.

Jillian workouts are tough so cudo's for sticking with it. Again be patient and maybe invite your husband to try Jillian's workout so he can see how hard you are working.

This is your journey so don't let his opinions sway the progress you have already made.

he's trying to help you. don't get righteously offended, his suggestions are good!

When I first started, I lost only like 2 lbs in two months due to water retention. Then, suddenly I was down 10 lbs. Keep going and DON'T give up. It will come off, just takes some time to see it on the scale.

It sounds like your husband is TRYING to be helpful, but really isn't and/or cannot truly relate to the issues you are having. I'd just keep it on the down low, to be honest, because the LAST thing you need is discouraging words.

As for not losing 2 lb per week...I know this whole thing (counting calories) doesn't work the same for everyone. I'm not trying to tell you how to feel. But for me, I had to have the mindset of "I expect to weigh less in 30 days or 1 year than I do right now" without imagining it would be exactly 1.5 lb each week (my settings until I got closer to goal and reset to 1 lb per week). EXPECTING to be down 8-10 lb each month is a recipe for failure and/or giving up, for a lot of people!
Track, weigh, measure, whatever it takes. Exercise is great, too...but you also need to give your body a chance to adjust to the way you are eating which may be less calories than in the past - even more adjustment for the body if you haven't been doing the Jillian Michaels workout (or other exercise) long-term and that is newer to your body as well. It's not an instant thing for some people. It takes a little time to level off and start seeing losses, for some people there is initial success and then a slow period and for others it starts off rapid and then slows.

Most of all, be patient. If you are truly eating at a deficit long term then you will be several pounds lighter in a few months. Would you rather lose 30 lb in 2-3 months or over a year period? My way of thinking is that I could go hardcore, burn out, and weigh the same in a year, or keep at this steadily and be down several pounds. I prefer the latter.

Seriously, I don't mean to sound like a know it all, but I started using this site 15 months ago wearing a size 22 and weighing 262 lb. My first goal was to weigh 220 lb and hopefully wear an 18 by the end of the first year...met that easily even with losses of less than a pound some weeks. Now I weigh 179 lb (losses still going slow but strong, too) and wear a 12 in most things. It's totally worth it to improve your health, nutrition, and fitness...and there is no bonus prize for getting to your goal in x number of months.

I know people hate hearing this, but perhaps you're eating too little? To use myself as an example: I started WW Feb 2013, lost 45lbs by Aug 2013. Maintained for about 6 months, then started to gain even though I was still 100% on track (eating well and exercising). No changes other than I had steadily increased my exercise. Continued to gain with no clue as to why, lost motivation, ended up gaining about 10lbs. Came back to MFP recently (I created an account ages ago but never used it) and started to track both here and on WW. I was also eating about 1200 calories and not eating back my exercise calories. Learned more about BMR & TDEE from the forums and ran my numbers - my BMR is 1414 before any exercise/activity so I'm already in the negative calories eating only 1200. When I added increased exercise into the mix it was no wonder my body started holding onto everything! I've increased my food intake and 4-5lbs have come off this week alone (yes, some of that was water retention from TOM).

So, moral of the story is take a look at your numbers and how many calories your body needs to function. You may just need to fuel it more!

Also, I don't know how much you have to loose but 2lbs per week is ambitious (as I have seen commented by many much more knowledgeable MFP folks). Perhaps drop to 1lb per week (thus increasing your calories) and see how you do.

Well of course you can't walk outside! Walking in Houston this time of year is like walking through warm Jello! But there is always the mall- go early, before the stores open, so the shoppers don't get in your way!
