Hi, Jan. I notice that your goal weight is very close to your starting weight. Have you noticed anything else? Like looser clothing? One of the things about a low-carb diet, is that you are reconfiguring your body to its proper ratio. You may not lose weight on the scales because you are adding lean body mass as you reduce the amount of fat you carry.

Dr. Schwarzbein stresses in her book, that the scales cannot be trusted. Instead you have to trust how you feel and look. I know that for me, the benefits (and I've only been doing this for about 2 1/2 weeks) are better vitality, mood, and general health.

If your skin is more supple, there must have been other changes that you weren't aware of. And if you never attain your goal weight, it's still a healthy way to eat and live.

Don't be discouraged. Instead, pay attention to how you feel on the program. It's worth it!
