Liza:

Just a few thoughts:

Why are you using half and half instead of cream? I was told on this forum way back when I started to always use cream instead of half and half. I know it's low in carbs but cream has no carbs.

Another thought: You didn't mention water at all. Are you drinking enough water? 64 + ounces/day at least?

One last thought: Are you exercising? I know how difficult it can be especially when you're feeling tired but even 20 min. per day or every other to start will help.

I completely understand your frustration. I stalled for almost two months. I was drinking well over 64 ounces of water per day. Eating no more than 30-35 carbs per day and exercising 5 times per week!!! One thing I was doing at the time was having a glass of wine or low carb beer in the evenings. I cut that out completely as well as nightly low carb snacks. I did finally lose 2 pounds. I am thinking of completely cutting out aspartame now because of all I have read about it. I don't think that'll be too difficult for me to do.

Anyway, good luck and keep plugging away!
