I don't feel like I am loosing weight these days but what I think is happening is that I am building muscle . My bike ride is so much easer my waist still seems to be getting smaller I feel great but in the last month I have not lost a pound and now that I am heading to the beach for 2 week I'm not sure how it will go being out of my routine , although I have found in the past I get incredible energy when I am at the beach don't be surprised to see me jugging at 11 pm on Ocracoke .LOL hopefully I will burn off the extra calories I get I’ll still stay away from sweets no problem but it is other things that will make it hard . Still waiting for my blood test to come back. I’m sure they will be good, just like to know how good lol I am going to hit one goal though I am going to Jog on the beach I know that for sure I have the energy now :rainbow:

You've been at this for a few months now. Everybody hits a plateau at some point. By doing the same routine over and over your body gets used to it. You need to surprise your body from time to time, by changing up your routine. On the other hand, people tend to obsess over pounds. If you're losing inches you're still doing okay. Last fall I went thru a period of about 6 weeks where I lost 3 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my hips and no pounds. People kept asking me how much weight I lost and when I would tell them none they wouldn't believe me. Stick with it and Have fun at the beach!

I have heard/read arguments that agree and disagree with this. I'm just happy I'm maintaining at this in my pushing 40 life smiley Can't see the muscle for all the jigglies on top of them.

Well the good news is that I didn't put on any when on Vacation in spite of my over carb eating when there I also exercised lot more so I think that helped. I staid away from sweets too .Riding my bike on flat ground is a lot easer then here in the mountain and I did a lot more too.
