"very little carbs if any per day... " that part of your post was the first thing i noticed wrong too.....like elsie said you need to eat your veggies..... this is not a no carb diet....you get most of your carbs from your veggies, not to mention many of the nutrients your body needs on a daily basis come from veggies.

also are you getting any exercise in? if so know that your muscles will hold on to the water to help in the healing process from all the exercise. as the muscle starts to heal it will release the water.

i would strongly suggest you drop those low carb bars also. they can cause stalls. since i have restarted this woe, i have not relied on them, but other times i have and they definately weren't friendly to me in my weight loss then. now the only time i would even think of eating them is if i was in a real crunch and had to have something to sustain me until i could get home and eat a proper meal, even then i don't know if i could actually allow myself to eat them.

good luck and hopefully you'll notice a change soon
