Plateau

I've hit a plateau.  I have lost only one pound in the past 4 weeks whereas I was losing an average of 9 pounds a month.  I'm slightly disappointed buy I know I need to keep making changes.
I am trying out different group exercise classes to try and keep my body guessing. It is entirely possible that my body just got used to my routine. I have been doing the same thing every day for months. It is time for a change.
I'm down to a size 18 and have even bought a couple of XL shirts in the regular women's section of walmart.  I won't be buying expensive clothes for some time. I want to make sure I am at maintenance before really investing in clothes.
My husband and I have been struggling with my new schedule and new priority list. We are working together but it isn't always easy. I have to remind myself that he isn't used to me being so active and having so many friends. Not that he doesn't want me to, he just needs to adjust as much as I do.
I still find great difficulty in feeling my changes are real. I can see the weight loss in pics but I have yet to internalize. 
It is a journey and I am happy to be moving in the right direction.
