There's only one problem

You're not eating enough. Your Monday looks like this:

Calories: 893
Carbs ~ 3-10 (wasn't sure what was in your salad or about the dressing content)

You should be eating about 2200 calories MINIMUM. Your body will not lose on the calories you are taking in. And your carbs may be a bit low. Add a cup of steamed veggie in addition to that daily salad

Eat up! The menu below only contains about 2000 calories and about 20-25 g carbs - just to give you an idea:

Breakfast: 3 egg omlette w/ cheese and a few mushrooms
3 bacon
Snack: 1 ounce macadamia nuts
Lunch: 1 cup salad 1/2 tomato, 4 slices cuke, low carb dressing
Large grilled chicken breast, or 2 small (with the skin on) 2 tablespoons mayo
Snack: hard boiled egg, 2 tablespoons mayo
Dinner: 8 ounce T-Bone steak (or other fatty cut)
1 cup broccoli

You can throw in a 1/2 cup of sugar-free jello and some splenda sweetened whip cream and still have room
