I was given the same suggestion as I was eating just cheese to help up my fat intake. When I stopped doing that I noticed progress. Now I only eat cheese if it's a part of something - I made meatballs last night for dinner with Cotija cheese in them. I still do HWC in my BPC and I make a dessert with HWC in place of ice cream. I am not really a yogurt eater.

It's possible that dairy could be an issue for you. It's not exactly uncommon, but I wanted to add that weight loss simply does often slow down at times even when we are doing the same things and we know we're not overeating. But that doesn't mean progress has stalled. Just scale weight.
I am actually up a couple pounds from April but I just went shopping last week and had to buy clothes in a smaller size than things I bought for winter. I weight the same as I did at the end of January right now. But the jeans I was wearing them with no problem are too big for me now. I can still wear them because they don't fall off, but a size smaller is a better fit.
So I encourage you take measurements and more importantly photos from different angles to compare to so that you can feel good about the progress that you are likely still making even though the scale isn't showing you.

I had very slow progress. I took out hwc and progressed. I did make other changes at the same time so I can't definitively say the slowness was hwc.

I still eat hard cheese and sour cream, sparingly a few times a week, and continue to lose...

Heavy Whipping Cream. It is delicious.

I gave up cheese in March, but not hwc (out of my cold, dead hands, lol!), for two weeks. I did see an increase in the weight loss during that time. But, I really like cheese, and had been losing while eating it, just slower than I would've, so I added it back in. I do avoid the store bought shredded cheeses (they're treated with corn and potato starch to keep it from sticking together) now, and just shred my own. That's the only change I made after the two weeks without it.

Maybe that's my problem! HWC & CHEESE! Ugh. Ok coconut oil and tuna... I'll have to research this more

I didn't know this! I usually use this for ease to grab that pinch of cheese in the morning, but it wouldn't be to difficult to just grate my own. Thanks for the info.

I buy the cubes, its easier to measure how much im eating

What does HWC stand for?

I see you got your answer but, for future reference, I made a blog similar abbreviations or terms used on this list:
