I did not gain weight at first, but I do lose very slowly -- not the dramatic 'swoosh' a lot of others report, and I also stall for long periods of time -- lose and gain the same 5 pounds over and over for weeks before it's actually gone for good. I am 51 years old and I am sure that has an affect. I also quit smoking 14 months ago, which probably also had some impact. Exercise seems to have the best impact for me -- without it I just do not lose.

Just a thought -- have you tried Fitday.com to track your exact carbs, calories, etc., just in case you might have some 'carb creep' or your calories are lower than you think? It really does help.

Good luck,

Peg
