Krissy,
Sorry to hear you seem to be having the same problem I do... I have lost 63 lbs in 5-1/2 months as well... SUX, huh..... However, I am losing inches, so I have "kind of" taken that into consideration in my frustration..... Hate to say this, but "glad" to hear there is someone else out there with the same problem..... I've started the plateua buster and make it through a couple of days before something comes up to keep me from sticking to it.... I did read on the Texas board that adding more fat should help with the jump start as well Who knew that one???
