Just keep at it, and if your having issues over the next month, pick up a personal trainer once per week, just to give you some good exercise tips. Everybody is different, and personal trainers are great because they can target your exercises to help you loose the weight much cleaner and faster.
Also, as to your diet, just cut out sodium and sugars. Sugar goes directly to fat, and sodium messes with your sodium potassium pump that makes ATP (the bodies energy source) Finally, drink A LOT OF WATER, if you want to shed the weight, take your weight divide it by 2, and thats the number of ounces you should drink in a day.
Hope this helps

LOL ya, i've lost a few inches from my hips and waist, thats VERY noticable, but im still the exact same weight i was when i started working out 2 months ago, so it looks like this is normal for right now, which is good!
i damn near cried when i got on the scale for the first time in weeks, i thought maybe i lost 10 pds cuz i saw the inches came off of my body, but turns out, i only lost like a pound lol
i got SO depressed over that. i felt like i've re-arranged my whole life for months, and been working really hard to getting my health back on track, and after all that, i lost 1 pd, ya....i was about to cry
and i've been doing light-weights to gain a LITTLE muscle, cuz muscle burns calories (like you said). and i know my metabolism has jumped up alot cuz i get hungry like every hour now.
thanks for the help!
