Emeraulde, this may sound absolutely awful, but I'd stay at the weight I am right now before going on that fat fast. There's info about it in the Tips & Stalls forum--I read about it last night.

I can do higher carbs with fruits and veggies, but some of the things I've seen people go through to try to get things moving looks just plum scary!

And yes, I measured. Alas, nothing gone for months now, with the exception of a little while on vacation a few weeks ago--and now I'm wondering about even that because my tape measure says differently (clothes didn't fit after getting home--they didn't fit before, but they weren't THAT bad--or so I thought!).

I really appreciate your input.
