Thanks mouseissue so much! That is very helpful! I don't have a set doctor, I visit a sliding fee and free clinic and a few doctors there that treat my emergencies, like microplasma and such...but they won't test for non emergency. I did have my thyroid tested, and there was nothing irregular, which actually was frustrating because I am again, left with no answers. But I believe you are right...as a vegan on low carb, it's ridiculous I'm not losing more weight...I hardly eat anything that sticks you know? I do feel like crying because I am giving my all, minus exercise. Hopefully, when I graduate in May, I can get more tests done...but I totally agree with you. Maybe my school clinic can help me out. When I was hospitalized back in September for two weeks, they did a lot of testing and they still have to do many tests, but my body couldn't handle much more, and what was sad, I knew that as soon as I left the hospital, I wouldn't get any help because I don't have insurance, and my hospital stay was covered under an assistance program because I am in full time school, but only things done in the hospital. They think I have Ulcerative Colitis...I don't know if that affects weight loss, but I too, like your wife, actually have gained 3 pounds. I was 221, now 224-225. I promise I'm not cheating...and something must be off. Thank you so much for your suggestion, I think I will check into it as much as I can, and see if the SFA health clinic can help me. Do you know of any specific tests I might ask for, or any imbalance I can ask to have done to see if maybe something is weight correlated? I appreciate you again, thank you. Oh, and I will start walking just in case too...can't hurt! Over the last Christmas break I was walking 15 miles a week...no change then, but maybe with a better diet...shoot, I don't know, at this point, I'm willing to try anything, the last doc I saw at the clinic didn't recommend being out the weather with the chilly air and pollen we have going on in TX, but I think the benefits will outweight the negatives thanks again! Have a super night!

Part of it also is I didn't expect to exercise this early in the program, my impression was many people didn't exercise at first, just follow the dietary constraints. I thought when I lost a little more weight, and I could more easily do it on my heart and lungs without the weight, then I would start again. I used to weight train when I was younger and I loved it...but in due time hopefully I can do it again!

I'm not sure what to say. I haven't been on in a while because I was hoping to provide an update on my weight loss...but I can't   regardless of all my efforts, I am still stuck and the same place I was last time I posted about this...I'm going on three weeks at the same ugly weight. What I do know is that I don't work out, if I did, I'm sure things would move forward, but I've lost 17 pounds or so on FTS and that was in the first two weeks, the last two to three my weight hasn't moved. I'm grateful for what I lost, don't get me wrong, but I need to lose more. I don't eat any sugar alcohols and nor have I...so I can't cut them out. I only went over the 20 carbs one time by 3, but that was a long ways back and it wasn't intentional. I drink only water and almond milk. I added the LaTortillas in my diet and the almond flour biscuits so that I could increase my calories without increasing my carbs, so I eat one of those or a GG crispbread everyday to help with calories because my calories were too low at 200-300, but I always stay within the carb limit of 20, and sometimes a little less if I'm not hungry to eat more. I've read everything I could find on here, including Doug's latest post on stalled weight loss, and other than exercise, I'm doing everything right. I don't get it. I haven't given up, I'm just trying to figure out what to do. I"m hoping that someone can tell me if it will kick in all the sudden or not? Is this normal? Did anyone else go through this this early in the program? The lowest I hit was 221 and the highest in the past couple weeks is 224 I seem to bounce around there. Any help family is very appreciated...helpful information I might not know about is great because I'm new but I'm at a loss! Thanks again for your time everyone and hope you all are having a great day!

I did make them and they are SOOOO GOOD!  I ate three    they tasted so good to my tummy and my mouth! Thank you! Mine are 1.6 carbs...but that's okay, they are great. I really thank you for posting this, I've been craving bread and nothing has come close to satisfying my southern biscuit craving except for this! Now I'm going to do some searching for cabbage soup for dinner to go with my biscuits, because I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten my last one of the day just yet! My appetite has come back 3fold the past couple days!

will do Doug. I usually discover I am or am not having adverse reactions to something when it "slips" into my food without knowing, the other day a slice of red onion got in my salad from Subway...not good. My doctors at first suspected I had Celiac's...I don't thank goodness because I absolutely love the LaTortillas eat them everyday. They are so awesome. I'm very ill today unfortunately, so I'm going to have a tortilla with butter...I think it will sooth my hungry but sick tummy so glad you and Rena told me about those...I'm addicted!
