Hello all-
I am new here, and reading these forums has been so helpful. My husband has done low-carb for 8 years and I am finally joining him.

I am 5' 10", currently 147 lbs. I lost 5 lbs. in the first week and would like to lose 7 more pounds. However, after losing 5 lbs the first week, I have not lost an ounce in the last 5 days. According to what I have read here, that may be totally normal.

However, I just started using FitDay, and if I am interpreting right, I think I am eating too many carbs still? Here is my page from yesterday:

Sorry for the layout, but it says 41.3 carbs, which is way too many. Is that total, or net carbs though, and how do I tell? Also, I exercise 3-4 days per week for 30 minutes, and drink lots of water.

Thanks if you got this far!
