Hang in there Jacque. I'm sure it is discouraging. If I were you I would weigh my self because you may be pleasantly surprised. Also I have found over the course of my many ups and downs in weight loss that I always gained when I didn't weigh myself. I realize that isn't the case for everyone but for me the scale helps keep me accountable. I think you may also need more restriction. I literally can only eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time and that has to not include any difficult foods for me like bread, pasta, fruit or veggies with skin or any fibrous content to speak of. If I eat the hard foods I will stick on the first bite and then I can't eat anything until the next meal if I have a PB incident. I can however drink with no issues so I know that I am not over restricted.
