I can't believe it! This morning I got on the scale and I was down 5 pounds! Yesterday, I made a concerted effort to eat and drink more and it must have triggered something because WHAM! I just love it when stuff like this happens. You struggle and struggle and this makes it all worthwhile. Anyone out there who is stalled, keep in mind that if you stick with it it will turn around for you. Stalls don't last forever.

But, my frustration with the stall brought me to this Low Carber site and I am so happy to have found you all. Support is so important. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions!

PS: I also stayed away from the Atkins bars yesterday on the advice that they have hidden carbs. I don't know if that played a part or not, but I just thought I'd let you know.
