    33 pounds and u think you are failing!!!!!!. congratulations to you.

    try changing the exercise routine or walk a little more. your body might have gotten used to the calorie intake.as well. also may be not enough water? i am trying and i have lost may be a pound in 2 weeks!.so you are lucky.keep it up

    If you've been steadily loosing since december than thats really good! Don't beat yourself up, try changing up your workouts but don't worry, just be happy your not gaining! Congrats on how far you've come. :happy:

    1 week isn't a plateau, it's your body adjusting a little. A month is a plateau, and means you have to re-examine your routine and eating habits, but a week is far to short to start making changes. give yourself some time, and realize that this is a long term thing, stay on track and your losses will return.

    Thank you all so much for the advice. You were right. I had to step back and re-examine my routine. I had stuck with the same workouts since i started and i guess i needed to confuse my body lol. I had slacked off on drinking so much water but got right back to it. i realize how vital water really is to being healthy. I love this site lol.
