Is it normal to be at a standstill after only 5 weeks? I am happy I lost 14# total, but I've been doing the same things and I haven't lost any # this last week?! I have been eating some sugar free jello, pudding and soda. A half a cup every other day or so. I only drink 1 soda a day. Sometimes just a drink of it after a meal helps since I'm used to sweets after I eat. I do drink at least 80 oz. of water every day. Also, I'm supposed to drink metamucil 3 x's a day for diverticulosis, it has 10 carbs each time. I don't always do it 3x's. But I can tell I need the fiber... Anyone else have this dilemma? Thanks to all!
