    You have lost 26 pounds...have you recalculated your calories to take into consideration the weight that you've lost?

    I'm going through this right now and guess what... I'm bigger than you! But I can feel my body changing and I'm putting my all into workouts until I break through. It's going to happen for me and you! Sorry about the diet bet though, ugh!

    I joined the DietBet on Sept.1 and started doing the 1200 calories with 250 calorie burn. So that with that adjustment I don't think I can go lower.

    When people add resistance to their routine, oftentimes they will retain water, initially. I seriously would not be bothered by this...When I started lifting I couldn't get the scale to budge and was pretty frustrated, but it did, finally, and while it wasn't linear by a long shot (I encountered some pretty frustrating stalls along the way), I tweaked and adjusted intake until things started moving along again... :)

    No, that's for sure...just wanted to check, because sometimes people forget to recalculate.

    ETA...So you're eating 1200 + the 250 burn, or 950 net?

    950 Net usually .. sometimes a bit more, but I try not to go over 1050 net

    So there is definitely some padding there....Fine tuning the calories is such a pain in the *kitten* to me, LOL...drove/drives me nuts.

    Seriously, though, I would give it a little more time and see what happens...
