And the scale hasn't moved since two weeks ago! I'm still down the same 30 lbs I was down two weeks ago, however, my clothes are fitting better.  So eventhough I haven't lost any lbs, I think I must be losing inches.  I still can't wait for that scale to move again though. lol. But I do think some of the culprit may have been all of the gatorade I had been drinking, so as of this morning, I got a big water bottle with squeezed lemon in it.  It's refreshing and not making me gag.  I'll see what results I get from doing this.  Thanks for all the suggestions I got yesterday on how to get the water in.  I'm trying them all out!

Elena,

You are doing Fantastic !!!  I hit 2 plateus already and I will be 8 weeks out on Tuesday (2/15/11) My last plauteau lasted 2 weeks, but like you said, we are losing inches. So after 2 week plateau I all of a sudden dropped 10 lbs in a week (AMAZING). Up your protein and fluids, That's the advice I was given and it worked.

Good Luck

Your journey has started out just like mine did.  I dropped 24 lbs in the first 10 days, then nothing for over two weeks.  And that's how it went for me the entire ride.  I'd drop a chunk all at once, then nothing for weeks.  Continue to measure because I was dropping inches when I wasn't dropping lbs.  Always.  I stair-stepped my way to goal.  Perhaps you will too!  Wild ride ahead... keep your arms inside at all times!
