Today is Wednesday, and I didn't post yesterday because I took a day off. I stuck with my diet but didn't do any weight training or ride my bike. Today I'm back, sticking to my diet faithfully (only got 1500 calories though, was trying to hit 2000). I've done 30 minutes (4.7 miles) on my bike and will do another 30mins before bed. Also did the usual weight training The scale still hates me, but I'm going to power through this plateau and not let it derail me. To health and happiness.

I hear ya! I've been plateauing for 2 weeks now. It sucks. I've been doing the low-carb thing this week. Hopefully that will help. Just try to mix up your eating and exercise--maybe some more resistance training?
I'm not sure what I did, but I've dropped a few more pounds. I guess you've just got to be patient and hang in there. I did take a few days off from training, stuck to the "diet" though. Maybe I just needed to let my body rest. Well, back to working out today.

Nice job breaking the plateau!!
I think I'm gonna hafta go easier on the exercise, and maybe a bit on the diet. My husband suggested taking a week off exercise, but I'm in the Halloween Challenge and if I don't exercise for 30min a day, I don't earn pts for me team..lol. So Maybe I'll just cut back on the exercise--do 30min a day instead of an average of 45min.
Keep plugging away. Whatever you're doing seems to be working--20lbs is awesome!
Thanks bikini. I went back to doing that hour on the exercise bike and the weight training today. I hadn't done anything for 2 days and it feels great getting back to burning this fat off my bones.
Hopefully I'm done plateauing and I'm sure you'll have that major breakthrough soon.
Well, one more day closer to my goal.
