Okay, so I've technically lost 11 lbs in 7 weeks, as of tomorrow. Not bad overall. But, the first 5 lbs came off in the first 2 weeks, then 2 weeks of plateau, then roughly another 5 lbs lost in week 5 -- the week i first eliminated all sugar/grains. Then 2 weeks of another plateau.
Is this normal?
I know since I only have around 10 lbs left to lose my weight loss won't be a dramatic 2 lbs a week, but shouldn't i at least expect a modest 1/2 - 1lb /week consistently, given little change to my overall calories, staying primal (now also mostly dairy-free) and keeping my carbs (for close to 3 weeks now) below 100 g/day? I did see tiny losses on waist/hip measurements, but not much really.

Is it possible this is hormonal/TOM related? Any other women out there have long plateaus attributable to TOM?

And, how do you stay motivated to stick with the plan when you aren't seeing results??
Or, should I change something up again, since it seems like i lost the most right after big changes (1st, just tracking/measuring portions/cutting cals, then going primal)? Most of the past 10 days or so (exc yesterday w/a small splurge) my carbs have been close to 80 g / day. I can't really see going much lower than that.

Today (b/c it's Ash Wed mainly) i've decided to do a modified fast (only chicken broth for lunch and dinner). We'll see if that helps kickstart things again.

Thanks for any suggestions or commiserating!
