Hi Donna, glad you wrote. When you say that you are doing everything you are supposed to, here is what I think you are doing: Eating 50 grams of protein every day, drinking 64 oz of water, and no soda or caffine products, exercising at 18 months out should probably be up to 45 minutes a day for 4 to 6 days a week, closer to six. If this fits you, then you just have to wait on your body to respond, there really is nothing more than what you are doing. If this does not describe you, if you are indulging in sweets, treats, caffine or soda, little stuff you are not supposed to have, then you are tricking your body into keeping your weight, and you need to go back to basics, protein, water and exercise. You have to fight for those pounds, and if you don't fight, you then get to keep them. Join the fight girl, and know that the battle is yours to win, you are just in one of the biggest battles of your life. So get up and fight for it. Take care and best to you. Patricia P.
