Hi beachers,
Last Monday I hopped on the scale after my first week on phase II, and found that I had stayed just the same. No big deal, I thought, but when I got back on this morning, I hadn't dropped anything at all! So I thought I would post a sample of my menus here, and you guys could maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong - and what I could do more of, as well as what you've done to bust plateaus in the past! I'm reevaluating my Valentine's Day goal, but I'd still like to see a bit more of a loss by then!

If you guys need any more information, please let me know. I'm exercising about three days a week, for 30-40 minutes at a time. During the work week, I get more than enough water, but I tend to slack off on the weekends just due to the fact that there's no water cooler to walk to!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me - I called my mom this morning to complain that I hadn't lost anything (as she's my accountability partner) and she reassured me that it would happen, but I shouldn't get frustrated, and then she suggested that I post on here, since you guys are a great support system!
