Well, I am STILL at the same weight I've been at for almost a month. I've been reading about so many others with the same kind of stall, that I'm just going to ride it out. But it sure it frustrating. Atkins for 5 weeks, 9 pounds gone. Not complaining I guess...just wanted to keep moving!

Yesterday I had another latte made with half and half...well Fitday.com straightened me out on that one. No more treats from Starbucks. Without all that half and half I would have been way under on my carbs, could have eaten a little more.

Question: what do I do if I'm just not hungry but haven't come anywhere near my calorie intake? Last night again for dinner, had to practically force a piece of salmon and salad. Just wasn't hungry. (Can't BELIEVE I'm saying this!! )

I tried to make some lo carb ice cream with just heavy whipping cream, Splenda and some vanilla flavoring and a few walnuts...what a mess! It was a weird consistency that would flake apart and barely even melted! Tasted okay, but looked more like that white divinity candy...at room temp. Does anyone have a better way to do this?? Really needing something yummy now.

I, too, appreciate this board....it keeps me motivated to NOT throw in the towel. Thanks to all who contribute here! It's helping!!
