Well I am 22 weeks PO. Last week I had a 1 lbs loss then the last meeks before that it was a 2-3 lbs loss per week. But now this week ZERO. I knew this day would come but do not like it. I am sure it will start up again but with about 70 lbs pounds to lose it is kind of hard. It also seems to have slowd since I changed my diet, I was going by the doc and dooing a low cal low fat and low carb diet but now with the advice of the online fellow DSers I added fat and stoped counting cals and jus****ching carbs and make sure I get my protien in. I work out 5 days a week but I do not know if I am eating to much or what. Any advice would be great.

Chris - I can't be sure .... But it sounds like the normal peaks and valleys of losing weight. I have dieted my whole life and there are always "stalls" along the way where I stop losing temporarily. I am expecting the same even with the DS. Do you also track your measurements?  If you are working out, you could be losing inches but not weight (replacing fat with muscle). 

2-3 lbs a week as an average is great!!  Don't discount how far you have come by only focusing on how much more you want to lose. You're a it 1/2 way there in just 22 weeks - you're doing awesome!!!

Whenever I stalled, I would go down a size or three.
