Need help, please review...

Hello, I am on my 2nd week of OWL (still rung 1) and have been in a weight loss stall for the last 2 1/2 weeks (very small loss of inches as well). I need to know if I am sabotaging my own efforts because I'm starting to get desperate! Here's what I ate yesterday:



The 'oopsie muffins' for breakfast are just plain oopsie batter poured into a muffin pan.

The 'base salad' listed in my lunch is 1 cup of spinach, 1/2 an avocado, 1/4 of a red pepper, 1 serving black olives, 1 tbsp ranch dressing & 1 tbsp Duke's mayo.

The 'pumpkin puree' in my dinner is 1/2 a cup of pumpkin, 1 splenda packet, 1 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tbsp of butter, and some spices.

So, is there anything I need to change... my personal stats are in my signature. Thanks in advance!!!

You are a bit heavy on dairy there - you are not on that rung yet so if you're stalling watch it. Cutting down on some cheese may bring your calories down some. Not sure whether that would be helpful for you or not. I would not sweat the calorie part though.
You could eat more veggies to make your net carb go up to 25.
But most importantly I would get rid of that Atkins shake. It is a known staller for so many people (me included). So try cutting it out.

Your salad sounded very yammy and healthy.

What are drinking through the day?

Thanks for the quick reply... I had a feeling about those shakes, but I don't want to let them go, they're so yummy However, if it's making me stall... it's really not worth it. I have been aiming for about 64 oz. of water a day... sometimes I'm a glass short, sometimes I'm a glass over. I should probably be drinking more, huh?

The first thing I see is the heavy cream. It stalls me instantly. I would cut down to a few tsp in your coffee and let the rest go! See how that works!
