Ok Dan. I need help. I'm 38 years old. Female. I have a congential hip dysplasia with a left hip replacement 2 years ago. I have been doing LC since 5/04. Started at 187. Got down to 159 and got stuck. I decided to increase the exercise. I started a women on weights class 2 days/week. Then I went to water aerobics. The whole class is great. They also meet 2x/week for "Power Hour". I can do some power walking and most of the other exercises with little modification. When I started all this I gained weight back up to 163 (one pound/week). I'm finally back down to 161. I'm stuck. I haven't lost in about 6 weeks. I'm measuring. Arms are getting bigger. My atrophied left leg has gained 3/4 of an inch. Abd is down. I read your post of 1.5 lbs of muscle gained etc. What gives. I'm still LCing. No real change in diet. I'm doing plenty of H2O. I'm ready to give up. Anybody? Dan? got any suggestions. I'm really new to this whole exercise thing and not sure what to expect.
