I have discovered some kind of critter has tunneled under my new garage ( had to cut away a bunch of brambles, and only now is that side of the garage visible ...) I am putting a snap trsp under an orange crate. I don't know what it could be besides some kind of rat. I don't think ground squirrels tunnel underneath concrete structures. Wish me luck. (sigh.)

Don't worry too much about the plateaus, folks; as I have preached before, your body wants to hold on to that weight; it likes stability -- sooner or later it will let go and you will drop some. It's the overall average weight loss that tells you something. Don't give up if you're on a plateau!
