Drinking lots of water. The only thing I wonder about is that I am barely eating 15 Net carbs (im supposed to be at 20) Does this maybe have anything to do with it? Any advice is appreciated! Thank you

I also saw that diet soda is a weight staller and I have been drinking that. So im stopping that as well as the sweet 'n' low in my tea.

Not junk food...still the healthy stuff. I guess sometimes the body needs a boost. Quitting is NOT an option! SW: 293 GW: 193
