WOW! i was recently stalled with my weight even increasing one week. i was doing everything right...i was trying to point the finger at low carb bars, artificial sweeteners, etc. so finally i decided to count my caloric intake one average day. holy moly! 2800!!! i included EVERYTHING (oils i cook with, etc.) wow, no wonder i was stalled out! i never imagined i was overeating this much...i am going to count calories (arrgh) for a couple of weeks and keep it around 2000. if anyone has any similar experiences to share and what they did about it i would appreciate the input! and if anyone wants me to keep them updated, sure no problem.
