Question: I have been using MyFoodDiary.com for a few months now and have lost 15 pounds.  While I'm thrilled with the weight loss, I haven't lost any weight for the past 2 weeks.  I'm doing all of the right things. I'm walking 45 minutes five days a week and I'm pretty consistent with eating at my "lose a pound a week" level.  People on the forum say I have hit a plateau, and they assure me that it won't last forever.  What causes plateaus and how can I get back on track?
