You are not alone. I have only lost 20 lbs since Oct 25 - I have been exercising really hard - over 100 miles on the Gazelle ( almost an hour per day- 6 days per week) and sticking 20 carbs. a day. I have not cheated since the start. You have done far better than me!! I know if I do not exercise I do not loose. My body quickly accepts the new calorie or carb level and just happily sits there. Merry x-mas and don't fall off Lcing during this tempting season.
