Not to be cruel, LadyBug, but how is eating ice cream going to help any of that? It's not going to help you lose weight or get you healthier. It's probably not even going to make you feel any better. There is a small percentage of people for whom low carb doesn't seem to work, but for the rest that have difficulty losing weight, there is a cause for it; it just needs to be tracked down and dealt with.
I tried taking a peek at your journal, but since you don't typically list the actual foods you eat, I couldn't get any suggestions from there. Is it possible that you are regularly eating a food that your body is sensitive to but is still low carb? I'll give you an example; my DH was eating peanuts and almond butter all last spring and didn't lose an ouce even though he was being completely faithful to low carb. He lost inches, to be sure, but not an ounce of weight. Come to find out that he's allergic to nuts, even though they weren't giving him any particular allergic symptoms. Now that he's doing this without the nuts, he's having better success. There are a lot of foods that you can be sensitive enough to to keep you from losing weight, but not so sensitive that you notice any symptoms; eggs and dairy are big culprits as are foods that feed a yeast problem such as aged or fermented products and vinegar. How about artificial sweeteners, caffeine or low carb treats? Still consuming any of those?
I can understand your frustration and I wish you success with whichever method you choose to get the pounds off, but don't just lapse back into high carb eating because this doesn't seem to be working for you. You said that you started out losing so you know that it's possible, so what happened between then and now that made it stop? That's the question that needs to be answered.
