Shannon,
If you gave these up just for this WOE, you might want to go back to taking them. Did you check with a doctor before stopping those antihistamines??? You obviously have strong allergies, and need to take care of those
Antihistamines put me to sleep too; in fact *non-drowsy* benadryl or actifed will even knock me out. Have you checked with the doctor or pharmacist about trying something that you might not react so intensely to??
About the caffeine...it is an YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) kind of thing. It can stall some people; but many lose weight just fine drinking it. I found that it didn't bother me or stall me at the beginning. So I kept drinking my coffee. I'm currently trying to give up my caffeine, but it isn't because of this WOL specifically. As far as I know, caffeine has never hindered my losing on this WOL
I know how frustrating it can be when you are not losing the weight; and I'm not sure how it all works. But perhaps your body's energy is busy handling your allergies; and not free to work on weight loss. Just a thought.
Anyway, I hope some of this is helpful to you. I had to stop by and check out your questions because we share the same name
My two cents,
Shannon (too!)
