Plateau? (spelling?)
I lost 30 pounds in 3 mths (out of the 80 I have to lose from baby weight). For the past three weeks I haven't lost anything. I can't get past this point and I started going to the gym a week and a half ago.
How can I get past this?

Re: Plateau? (spelling?)
well with the first 30 i didn't do any excerise except walking a few times a week.
Last week or so, I joined curves. So I have been doing that 4 times a week and I bowl 1 day a week.
I have been eating the same and I really can't eat any less. I think I eat pretty healthy.
I know I need to drink my water. That's where my weakness is. I tried adding Crystal Lite mixes to it, but I still can only down 1 sport bottle a day.

You might be building muscle? Are you doing more cardio than weights? You should probably stick to cardio for a while.

i dont mean eat less, i mean vary what you are eating more. if you dont eat enough, you wont lose any weight.

It's true - I always find that, when I eat more, smaller, healthier meals throughout the day, I lose weight easier. If you eat too little your metabolism slows down and you hit a plateau. If you eat regularly, but healthy, fiber-rich foods, your metabolism will speed up.
Also, try changing the kinds of food you're eating, and change your workout routine. That might pull you out of the plateau.

I agree. I would change what you're eating (keeping the points the same). Maybe swap out some carbs for protein.
