I weighed 283 pounds and went on the South Beach diet. A year later I was sitting at 193. Most of that weight came off in the first 6 months. I hit 193 and still wanted to lose another 20 pounds but kind of winded down to a loose phase 3. Since then, I have gained a little weight back and I am now up to about 216! I decided to drop another 40 pounds and put myself back on phase 1. I spent about 2 weeks eating regular carbs to kind of shock my system and then the next 3 weeks on phase 1. Unfortunately, I didn't lose an ounce!! Can anyone make any recommendations?
