Hi Sarah,
Don't let the scales get you down. Although they may not be moving right at the moment...take a look at the way your clothes are fitting you and evaluate it that way....you're most likely still losing inches.
Don't freak out...just
as they say, do everything you're suppose to be doing...eating correctly, drinking lots of water and exercising and before you know it the scales will move, I promise you!
Maybe take a peek at what you're eating....have you been eating a little more salt than usual? Or perhaps you're coming up to your TOM.....or what about your cheese consumption.....just a few things to consider and if none of these things apply.....just be patient and keep doing everything you're suppose to be doing and it will move.
We're all here behind you....keep up the great work!
Cheers!
Sarina
