Hi guys,
Guess what, 2 weeks and no weight loss.  Feeling alittle frustrated about losing 2 pounds to gain back 2 pounds.  This has been going on for 2 weeks now!! I'm stuck at the same 9-11 lb weight loss in 2 months! 

 I just saw Doug's posting in the dessert forum about Splenda having carbs.  I think I read that Splenda can cause a stall in some people as well as sugar alcohols.  I have a question.  Can the fTS sweetner be used for baking?  I saw where Umpa uses xylitol for baking, stevia for coffee.  What is the FTS sweetner used for?  Can it be used to replace Splenda?  I make these mini cheesecake muffins that are 3 carbs each.  I eat these in the morning for breakfast with 1/2 cup of fresh berries.  I'm concerned that these "delicious little treats" are sabbotaging me!  Can I convert the Splenda and use another sweetner to find out if indeed the Splenda is the culprit? 

I'm desperately seeking an answer.  I have increased my water intake.  I know I need to do a better job of keeping track of the number of carbs I consume throughout the day.  I realized the other day that I was enjoying almonds for a snack but my portion was off.  I've since elminated the almonds.
Please HELP!!!!!!

I have a question regarding low carbing and hypothyroidism.  I read on the internet where low carb diets can cause your thyroid to slow down.  I was just wondering if anyone else on this site has had this issue.  My husband is flying by me by leaps and bounds.  I'm still at the same weight I was at last week.  Pretty frustrating! 

Today is day 8 on the FTS plan.  I've had the symptoms I previously posted off and on for the last week.  Last night however I experienced new symptoms that sort of shocked me.  I woke up from having a nightmare and was shivering.  This morning I felt drained and sort of like I had the flu again.  Did any of you experience this?  It has me concerned.
