Fattiegirl, thanks for asking the question.

Nat, thanks for the definitive answer. I've been wondering for a while if I've been eating enough protein. I'm eating about 200 calories/day, and breaking it down to 4% carbs, 26% protein and 70% fat, so that sounds about right. I've been on that for almost 2 months now, still in the induction phase, and just don't seem to be losing weight. I did get down to 179 on 12/11, but since then I've bounced back & forth between 180-182!

I have to say I feel great, generally. Fewer headaches and mood swings, and my hair and skin are healthier than they've ever been since I moved from the coast to the desert. But I sure would like to lose some weight before all my clothes wear out. I don't want to buy new stuff and then "ingrow" it!

The only thing I can think of to do is try to drink more water and wait 'til I can get started exercising again (in Jan.).

Any other suggestions?
