your experience with LC and exercise sounds very similar to mine. I lost a lot at the beginning, like everyone, then it seemed to slow down to a near crawl, and in fact my wt. didn't change at one point for 5 - 6 weeks. I work out a lot - 4 -5 days a week, lots of swimming and some cycling. I don't know for sure if I was gaining muscle wt. and loosing fat, but I feel and look a lot fitter, and the wt. did eventually start coming off again.
For me, a pattern seems to be emerging: I lose 4 - 5 pounds, get stuck for a week or two or more (sometimes a lot more), then I start losing again.
All I can do is stick with the plan, keep up the exercise, and just get used to all of this as a new way of life, a new set of habits. I'm starting to not worry too much about the pace of my wt. loss - it's gonna happen at it's own pace no matter what I do or what important social event I am hoping to lose wt. for and no matter what goals I set and no matter how much I worry about it.
