Hi, HOPEFULL!
I don't use Aspartame. Can't help you there. BUT I did have a 'mini-stall' (up and down with the same silly pound) for about 10 days during my 5th and 6th (this) week. . . .
Yesterday, I upped my fiber and carbs just a bit to 20, since fitday showed that my net carbs were at about 15 a day for a week or so and I'd been a little "backed up". Lo and behold! I dropped 2 pounds this morning on day 42! Sometimes, I think you just need to surprise your body a bit. I agree with everyone else that 20 carbs, or as close to it as you can come, is the best thing. It is weird, though, I don't crave carby things anymore and my carbs just sort of slid down a little lower . . . now I guess I'm going to have to conscioulsy make sure they're a little higher!
Patience is the hardest thing for me, but I'm beginning to get some. I know I didn't get this big overnight, and I know I won't lose it overnight.
Hang in there! You're doing really well! I know we'll be hearing that you've lost another pound or two in no time at all.
