Just curious...when you say adding carbs made it difficult, do you mean that you had cravings again, or that you think that's what stopped your weight loss?
I'm expecting to have some plateaus, especially as I get closer to goal (I'm not really that far off anyway...), but so far I've been lucky...averaging 1-2 pounds a week. I haven't added back all that many carbs yet...mostly oatmeal and fruit and a very occasional piece of whole grain bread...so I'm wondering how that will go.
Only have about five more pounds to lose so I guess that's the hardest part. Every now and then I go back to the first two weeks of the diet and it seems to help but then.....
