STALLING!!

It seems that nowadays, all of the information that we need, or want, can be found on blogs. I can usually find good tips, motivation, recipes, etc, on most of the blogs that I've read. What I can't find is anyone that has any tips for a weight loss plateau that APPLIES to me.

I have been counting calories since January 9, 2012. I've lost a little over 31 pounds since then, but now I'm stalling. I started stalling when I started taking birth control! We already have one child. Both my husband and I, work full-time and we're full-time college students, as well as parents. Birth control, more specifically: NuvaRing, sounded like the smartest thing to do.

Well it was. Until I had it in for a little over a week. My weighloss went from roughly a pound+ loss to NOTHING lost, with an occassional GAIN. I know, I know, I shouldn't use the scale to determine how I look. I can't help it.. I just want to weigh what I did before I had my son. Or at least very, very close.

So the question that I'm asking is this, is there anything that I can do to get out of this slump, without stopping the birth control? I have not changed my eating habits, though I want to sometimes. I have not changed my exercise habits. I'm still walking different routes and speeds 3-4 nights a week, and playing softball for 2 hours on one night. Has anyone else experienced this? What have you done?
