Hi Steveelea,

Welcome!!!!! Congratulations on your great weight loss! You are really on the right track.

And congratulations on finding one of the things that are problems for many! Artificial Sweetners! They can stall many for several reasons. You are one that they do cause problems for, some can eat AS and not have a stall. Others stall with dairy and ohters, nuts, but the most important thing is that you kept a great food journal and could go right to what it was that caused it. I have several boxes of the Atkins bars in my garage, but they are not coming out until I am offically on or past my goal. I did take some with me when I traveled and was glad to have them, but I do not use them here at home. I do use Sugar free jello, however, and it does not stall me, but I don't want to eat the bars, because they are almost triggers for me, they are toooooo good!

Good to have you here sharing your experinces with us.
