:Clap: Congratulations on your weight loss so far! That's just awesome!

If you haven't lost any pounds or inches in 5-6 weeks, you've hit a plateau. Your body is taking a break. You could wait it out or you could do either of two things ....... exercise more or eat less. I'd rather switch up my exercise, either increase the length of time or up the intensity. That would be my personal suggestion. Using weights is also good as it builds muscle and muscle burns more calories.

Here's a thread on the subject of weight loss stalls. Perhaps there's something there that can help. http://sbdbb.com/showthread.php?t=1072&highlight=stall

You've done a great job! Be proud of yourself! :Clap:

i needed to hear some thoughts of encouragement, my husband and i started the diet in january and he is no longer doing it . . . i think that is part of my problem.
