Congratulations! You've hit the "plateau" almost everyone hits about a month into the plan. Don't be depressed. This is normal and is just your body adjusting to the weight loss/change of nutrients/exercise.

You said that you can "feel" it. That is what matters, not the scale. Chances are, especially if you're exercising, is that you're starting to build muscle mass. That probably is why your weight hasn't changed much. Muscle is more dense than fat and takes up less room for the same or more amount of weight. This is a good thing. I would wager that you've lost inches and that your clothes fit better.

Keep up the good work!

Joan
