Hi Lisa Marie,
I am an extremely slow loser myself. I have been on this WOE (with variations throughout the time, but now on Atkins) for 7 months. I have only lost between 16-18 pounds. The first 3 month plateau I figured was due to the candy with maltitol (hidden carbs). So I stopped eating them. Then I started Ketosis (was on Suzanne's plan but stopped losing on that), and started losing again. Now I am on yet another long, long plateau and I am thinking it is perhaps Splenda (Diet Rite, low carb fudge, low carb ice cream). So I'm stopping that for a while to see if that is what is doing it. I've also heard the regular peanuts aren't good to eat because they are legumes (or something like that). Peanut carbs can add up, so maybe you could try another snack. I feel for you. When I get frustrated at the lack of losing, I just read this support site and realize I'm not alone. Also, I know that if I go back to eating the way I used to, I'll start gaining back. At least we are staying the same and not starving. Try to stick to it and look at it that way. Hope this helps.
