Feeling Discouraged
Try upping your calorie intake with a few extra protein shakes each day and see if it helps. Also, adding exercise to your routine (yeah, yeah, I now...I'm horrible at this) also tends to shake you out of a slump and get your body to start letting go of some of that extra fat.
Good luck!
2. You are at about the time for the great 3-6 week stall. Go to my journal if you want to read about why it happens. (current journal).
3. You NEED to eat and drink enough or your weight loss WILL indeed slow down as your body will go to starvation mode and retain every single pound.
4. You are a lightweight. You will not lose huge numbers compared with people who have more to lose so don't compare yourself to others. According to my chart you are doing just great :)
