I always weigh my vegetables, Mia, and then key that into my food tracker Fitday.com (before eating it) to see what the "damage" is. There is a food tracker here on the site but I've never used it. But I say, as long as you stay within the daily net carb limit, I say eat all the lettuce you want!
You will! Just be patient with your body, because it will only give up weight on its own timetable, not yours. I have ridden out some very VERY long stalls (2-year long), and yet didn't gain and managed to start losing once again this year. Never give up and you WILL get there!
