I stalled, and found out that I needed to eat more fat!! For some reason, I started trimming the fat off of my meat, and not eating the sour cream and real butter and oils, and I stopped loosing!! Someone in this forum suggested that I try more fat, and it got things burning again!! I eat an atkins bar now and then, but I only drink the new lo-carb slim fast shakes, they taste great, and have lots of fiber!! only 2g of carbs per can. (for us women readers ) It is thick and chocolate, so it also satifies the TOM cravings too!!
