That all sounds pretty normal. Be sure to check out the " BFL Lady

http://health./group//files/

It's a collection of posts from women who didn't see major changes

You might also check out the " Uh-Oh, a Plateau! " article. It doesn't

sound like you have plateaued, but sometimes making a few minor

adjustments will speed up your results.
