Moonwalker- to the best of my knowledge, everybody weighs more at night than in the morning, which is why it's recommended you weight yourself in teh morning, after toileting and before you eat or drink anything.

Freckles-IMHO the way you went about it would be the only way to determine what is causing the slowdown, or as close as you can get to really knowing.

I'm not trying to criticize anyone, but I do think a lot of people jump to conclusions. It's impossible to gain 3 lbs of fat overnight from a serving of sf jello or one Atkins bar. Now if you eat a bar or two a day over the course of 2 or 3 weeks and change nothing else in your diet and you gain 3 lbs, THEN I'd blame the bars...

I think, and this is just my opinion, that people are just a little quick to point the finger at certain theings because they were told by someone, who was told by someone else, that they HEARD of someone stalling from aspartame. Things take on a life of their own on the internet.
