Hmm...that's too bad that you're stuck. Are you eating the exact same amount of points every day? i.e. right now I eat 24 points a day. I've had leaders in the past say that sometimes it's a good idea to vary the points a little bit each day since you do have those 35 flex points to use throughout the week. Therefore maybe one day I'd eat 27 points, another day 24 points, another 24 point, another 29 points. That way you kind of 'trick' (for lack of a better word) your metabolism as it doesn't know exactly what it's going to get.
It's awesome that you've lost 30 lbs though! Way to go! Congratulations!!

Thanks for the congrats. I do vary my points quite a bit actually & although I usually stick with a breakfast/lunch routine for a whole week & then have something different the next. My dinner is usually something different every night (unless I'm just being lazy!)

The cardio exercise that I mentioned is usually running. I try to get in at 2 miles of running 3-4 times per week. I do my pilates routines in the morning before I get ready for work & I usually get some sort of ab work out during the mat portions. The crunches are killing me though-I just started those not too long ago & its hard!
I'm definitely looking into the core plan for next week. Its worth a shot!
