Hi Berrybums5:
It is true that we tend to lose faster in the beginning and slower as we near our goal but that is just our body adjusting. Make sure that you pay attention to your inches loss as well. I find sometimes that the scale will not budge but man o man have i lost a ton of inches! start measuring yourself and keep track of your progress. If you have a craving for nuts, almonds, pecans, macademias or walnuts are the better choice. peanuts can defintely cause a stall.
another important thing is to make sure that you are drinking a significant amount of water. folks who are doing the m&e program try to consume at least a gallon of water per day. you can never drink "too" much water!
as for your supplements - all of the above that you mentioned and Vit. C. - that can be alot of pills to take so you might want to try to look for a multi-vitamin (w/o iron) that will give you many supplements in one pill. Vitacost.com offers a wonderful women's vitamin that contains l-cart. and cq10 along with all of the other supplements that we need.
also are you exercising at all? activity will defijntiely speed up your loss.
hang in there - you're doing great! the loss will come - remember one day at a time....
