I am stuck! I've lost 13 lbs since July 3 (my first day here). For the past couple weeks though, I've stalled. Can anyone make recommendations? Thank you!

    You've lost 13 pounds in a little over a month? That doesn't seem "stuck" to me! When I started, it took over a month for the scale to even more. Hang in there... your diary looks good from the few pages I flipped through.

    What exercise do you do? Have you tried mixing it up a bit and trying new things?

    Yes, I do drink quite a bit of water. Usually at least a gallon daily.
    I am also exercising usually 5 days a week. I do a combination of dvds, walking/running, wii work out games, bike riding, and bowflex.

    i appreciate the comments!

    someone told me i am eating too many carbs once. but i don't feel that i am??

    night time eating can be problematic @ times for me, but i've done much better since tracking!

    Your diary looks great. Nice to see your eating whole foods, not much processed. Are you drinking enough water & how about your exercise? My only suggestion is maybe to switch to some spring green or romaine lettuces, instead of iceberg, more nutricious, wont make a difference in your weight loss though.

    Maybe increasing the exercise will help.

    YES -- track your sodium!!! It can make a huge difference and I know that from personal experience.
