Don't give up ouch - I just know something good will happen soon! Are you taking any supplements like l-carnitine or green tea extract? Maybe something simple like that would help. L-carnitine is pretty expensive (to a cheapie like me) but green tea extract isn't too bad...

I know Atkins has a special diet for the metabolically resistant (fat fast) in the book I have (DANDR) in chapter 18. Have you thought about trying that?

I'm doing my best to send good vibes to the whoosh fairy for you!!!!
