In my opinion, you should just keep yourself in ketosis and try to be

patient. People who have very little to lose will lose quite a bit

slower than people with a lot to lose. Are you still at 20 carbs or

did you raise your intake? Your level might be a bit high but, more

likely, it's just going to take time.

I wouldn't bother - you are so close to goal that it probably wouldn't

matter and switching diet plans can reintroduce cravings for foods you have

gotten used to not having. You are in pre-maintenance and now is when you

need to learn how to eat this way for the rest of your life.

How many carbs do you eat each day? Are you exercising? As you slowly up

your carbs to maintenance levels, you may need to watch your fat intake a

little more.

My vote is that if you are in ketosis, just keep doing what you are doing. If you aren't cheating, but aren't losing pounds . . . have you checked to see if you are losing inches instead? If you are, that's as good as pounds lost. Just keep plugging. This close to your goal, it will be much slower than for those having more pounds to lose.

Wanda, Kirstie and Terry thank you so much for your input. I guess I

won't switch horses in midstream. I just lost so much weight the

first 2 weeks, these last 8 weeks have been discouraging weight-

wise. I am enjoying this woe and could eat like this forever, so I

guess I have to be more patient. I guess it is true about those last

10 lbs. no matter how you are trying to lose it.

There have been no inches lost in the last month, at least not in my

waist, stomach or hips. I haven't been measuring my chest though

because if that is where I am losing it would be too depressing.

Thanks gals, I will hang in there and keep ya posted.
