He did and I only lost two pounds last week. I have been eating pumpkin seeds all week that said they only had one carb per serving,  I have to think maybe their label was off a bit. But I guess 2 is better than none. I wish I had a magic wand just to just take it all off and be done with it. Sometimes it's just so frustrating yet I can't imagine doing this any other way. It is so nice not to starve and to get to eat all the stuff I love and still loose weight. I have to just hang in there and let it come off. I have plans to go on the Harry Potter Rollercoaster with my son in Feb so I better get in gear here!

Thanks guys I know coming here has helped so much , everyone has the same feelings when they dont lose . We all feel the same way some can just handle things better then others . I do feel like I am strong now I feel good ,no more cravings and sometimes I dont even eat 15 carbs a day ,unless i make me new fav mashed cauli  I could eat the whole bag . Who ever thought I would be wanting a whole bag of cauli  ,LOL boy things sure  have changed .
 
 And Yes Doug I Am Staying The Course !!!!!!!!!!

I think it is so important to look at your success as you go along.I think as women we are way too critical of ourselves.Sherripie you will succeed,you already have.You have lost over 100 pounds.Head to the gym and try to lift a 100 pound barbell.Bet you can't.You are a inspiration to all these women on the Forum that say they can't. You have the *want to**.But my dear, if I had a magic wand I would give one to everybody in this country because we are literally eating ourselves to death.I am so proud of you! , and everybody on this forum because they are taking control of their lives.Not just complaining but doing!
PS
I want a picture of you on the Harry Potter Ride!!

Ok well this is 2nd week I have not lost ANYTHING no inch's no pounds NOTHING    I am staying under 20 carbs I am STAYING THE COURSE .  But what is going on I have to say I do get so frustrated when I see the guys & girls (mostly guys  ) that lose a LB a day .
I am also showing keytones .

 I also know that I feel great ,
I can sit and watch someone eat a doughnut and not want one ,and that is amazing .
I have not had a piece of bad sugar white  bread since August the 4th .
I love cauliflower!!!!!!
I am thankful for this forum .
I guess I am just a SLOW loser.
 Maybe just maybe I am going to have a huge drop next week . I sure hope so .
 STILL STRAPPED IN & STAYING THS COURSE 
Thanks Guys , JO

Staying the same is still good.  It is better than gaining.  Maybe add a little extra activity each day.  Just change things up a little and see what happens.  Maybe eat your larger meal at lunch and a smaller meal for your dinner.   Or eat 5 small meals.  Just keep on track, the scale will move.

Tell us what you are eating. We may be able to help you.

Shihtzumom1 that is true better then gaining but I have alot too lose . I was thinking that same thing about lunch & supper even though we eat supper early it might help Beebs this is what i ate yesterday most of my days are pretty much the same .unless someone puts up a delish recipe  I dont really get 6 in the morning but I always count 6 just to make sure I cover my coffee. I eat the ice cream 1-2 a week usually it is jello /whip cream

my eggs say 0carbs
 2eggs /1/2cupmixed veg ,coffee with creme 6 carbs
 homemade chicken salad /lettuce  with 2tbsp bacon ranch 4 carbs
 2pork chops baked augrautin cauliflower 4carbs
 bryers icecream  nuts                          5 carbs

[beebs]

What kind of cream are you using in your coffee?

[joagain]

Heavy 0 carb

[SherriPie]

It might just be me but when I eat the Bryers Low Carb Ice Cream I don't lose anything. Something in it just doesn't work with my body. Maybe it's having the same effect on you as well?
