I have been ddoing this for 9 weeks now and alittle history of me. I have hypothyroirdism and take lexapro alos. I take a multi vitamin, Omega 3 and Calcium w / Fiber. My problem is i lost 10lbs within the firast 3 weeks and now i keep gaining back 2 - 3 lbs here and there. It is very frustrating I have tried all diets and really thought this was going to be the one, taking sugar out of the system and only consumming 20 carbs a day should have done something today is a real downer for me nothing is looking better and I am also 49 years old 230lbs when i started. [ / icon_sad. gif] [ / icon_surprised. gif] [ / icon_cry. gif] I always would buy any infomortial pill and even tried Nutrisystem and Weightwatchers I always failed due to no results happening i know everyone is different buit come on now whats up. I even walk 20 - 30 funny book a day i am not a exercise lover and have seen results from others with out having to do so. I am on the verge of giving up this can be a boring cycle of food. Help

Are you drinking all the required water? Could you please post your specific menu for a day? It should include everything, any drinks, snacks, chewing gum etc.
With hypothyroidism it is very difficult to lese weight on any diet, but if you had results in the beginning, you really should not be gaining...

I also had a problem with my weight when on Lexapro. I gained 8lbs my first two weeks on it and I didn ' t change a thing in my diet. Maybe you are losing inches - measure yourself every week. That was a lifesaver for me. After Induction there are so many options recipe - wise. I even found a recipe for pizza with an egg and cheese crust. Don ' t give up. I have only lost 4lbs in 3 months but I am fitting into clothes that I haven ' t worn for a year. Remember that this is a healthy lifestyle that you have chosen and eventually you will reach your goal.
