Sorry about the feeling of hopelessness. Been there, done that.
It is discouraging to follow the plan strictly and your body does not cooperate by dropping pounds.

All I can suggest is keep on keeping on. Whether you lose or gain, whether you stick to it constantly or fall off the wagon periodically, you know in your heart the low carb way is eating is better for you. Even if your body refuses to let go of its fat cells, you are healthier - which isn't visible.

Hang in there and know we will help as best we can to keep you motivated.
