Hello! I've lost 25 pounds since the beginning of November which I feel good about, but I've still got another 45 lbs to go before I'm at a healthy weight.

I've reached a frustrating plateau at my current weight and it seems I keep shedding inches everywhere EXCEPT my waist. I have no more double chin, my thighs and butt are disappearing (good grief my coworkers keep commenting on this!!), but I still have to hide my big waist under loose-fitting shirts!

My size 16 jeans fit snuggly around my waist but are loose everywhere else! I bought 3 pairs of size 14 jeans because I thought I was ready, but I can't button them because of my tummy! They fit fine everywhere else. I was such a "pear" until I hit my late 20's, NOW I'm the classic "apple" (and am in my early 30's) - what the heck is going on??? Anybody else solved this problem?
