Just jumping in to let you know I'm having the same problem. Between the hair falling out and no weight loss - its all becoming a little frustrating. This is one of several plateaus I've hit in 4.5 months, each one lasts a bit longer - EEKK.
I've also noticed that I'm letting that frustration bring back some of my old - and very poor - coping methods. Its just a small bite here and there or a handful of this or that. Bottom line - I'm eating things that I don't need and they have no nutritional value. The extra calories certainly can't be helping. I'm trying very hard to learn to take a walk and a drink of water when I am feeling so frustrated!

I know this one! I ate a dozen cookies from the dessert table at my best friend's son's wedding this past weekend. It took me half an hour but I ate them and didn't dump.... damn it. I've gotten frustrated and thought "well what the hell". Bad habit from the past which I am determined to nip in the bud again. At least I still dump from french fries or this month could get ugly.
Keep your chin up and press on.

What's been going on with me is that the weight is jumping around within the same couple of pounds for a while. I'm losing a little bit now--not very quickly, though. For a while I wasn't losing anything, poundage wise, but I was still losing inches, cuz I got into a smaller size of jeans that I hadn't been able to fit into a couple of weeks before. It's quite disconcerting, but as long as I'm making progress, it's a positive thing. I put a new picture up on my profile.
