Well I am not sure I have words of wisdom for either one of you. But maybe I can add some encouragement. Lost inches is a big deal so congrats on that! Sometimes I lose inches and then don't lose weight for a while. I KNOW it takes longer to for everyone to lose those 10-15 pounds. If you start out only needing to lose 10-20 pounds it might take your body a bit longer to start shedding that excess weight. I know for me the first 20 went off pretty quickly, but these last 15 are dragging. Maybe us short people also have a harder time dropping the last few pounds.

I also know that once I hit a weight I was at for a long time in the past, my body just seemed kind of stuck there. Like it was visiting an old, familiar place and didn't want to leave. I had to just wait it out.

The only other thing I can suggest is that both of you post some menus for the rest of us to look at. Sometimes things can be seen by the long termers that newbies just don't think about. I know both caffine and dairy can be stallers for some people. So can nuts. How are your calories (i.e. are you getting enough?) and fat intake? At five foot tall and 138 I keep my calories anywhere from at the very least 1100 to 1400 or 1500. I also keep my fat at 65-70% of my calories.
