I think I am eating hidden carbs, too. I have been eating ham that says zero carbs every morning and sometimes for a snack. I bet it has carbs. Plus, it must have a ton of sodium. I am not losing weight the way i should be. I have barely cheated and feel like I am doing se well. I need to be more diligent about counting my carbs, I guess.
I dont know what I am going to eat with my eggs now. If I make bacon I eat way too much of it, so no bacon.
Plus, my TOM is starting now.

I am frustrated with my weight loss, but feel so much better that I know this is the way I am supposed to be eating. I really need to get under 250 pounds by the 9th to make my first goal.

Awww I'm sorry hun I wish you the best!! Maybe it is the ham - ham is usually mighty salty and that may be causing some water retention maybe? Is it processed ham or chunks from like a big ham? TOM will definitely also have that water retention effect! I love bacon - have you looked for the bacon that's cured w/o sugar & nitrites & nitrates? I found some at publix - I don't know if you've got publix there, but maybe that would be a better choice - I just make 3 at a time so I don't go overboard. Would something like that help you? I know bacon is salty too but if you're eating less of it maybe it wouldn't be so bad? or also low-sodium? Maybe it would help your weight loss and help to develop a new plan to where you can learn to eat smaller portions of your beloved bacon? (lol bacon is beloved by me hehehehe)

Do you think you might be really metabolically resistant? you may want to talk to your doc if you can & maybe try the fat fast described in Dr. Atkin's book to see if that gives you a jump-start? Let me know if I can do anything to help
