My weight loss has been averaging about 2 lb per week since I started OWL, despite ups & downs and various so-called stalls. I weigh several times a day on a good scale and can usually match small "ups" to meals & water drinking and small "downs" to bathroom visits.

Longest stall was when I introduced cream, berries, and splenda - about 1 week - took me out of Ketosis. Adding high-fat yogurt for breakfast seemed to knock me out of the stall - down 4-5 lbs since then.

I am a serious social drinker but find I am drinking far less than before. I eat more cheese than recommended but the carb counts on the cheese I use seem to allow this. I drink Yerba Mate, an interesting, nutritious South American tea-like beverage the contains Mateine, a Caffeine-like stimulant without some of the bad side effects of Caffeine.
