Hello Willyb,

Just so you know.. if you are not getting enough food with all the excersise you are doing your body could go into a starvation mode. Are you getting enough water as well? If you dont drink enough water your body will hold on to what ever it can, so while you might think you are not loosing weight your body is replacing the fat with stored water.

Also.. I have read that maybe you need more and should try going up one rung on the OWL ladder and see if you get any results. So in stead of 20 carbs per day you would have 25. Many find that going up the OWL ladder helps get them going especially when they are not loosing on induction.

Try posting some menus and let us see if we can spot any hidden carbs for you. You could be taking in more carbs than you realize. All of this is just throwing out some possible things that could be hindering your loss.

Good job for sticking to it even though the scale is not moving.

Michelle
