on weekends eggs still in the morning, then some type of meat again maybe ribs, last weekend was brisket, pulled pork, chicken and no sauces just some seasoning. I do BBQ a lot on weekends but that's all meat off the bone, zero carbs.
even the pork grinds aren't an every night thing.
and a ton of water, 7-10 16.9oz bottles of poland spring a day.

Looks like you're eating per Atkins Induction phase. I don't see any immediate warning signs. The only other question: Are you taking any medications? Some are known to slow and interfere with weight loss. Just remember, we share good information on this forum; yet, we are all different in how we respond to foods.
The thing that really started me years ago when I first went low carb (Atkins Induction) was to stay completely consistent with my eating. I slowed my expectations by starting to weigh myself monthly, and before I weighed in, I started to notice that my clothes were looser, as I was losing inches around my waist. In the beginning of a dietary change, we are not metabolically flexible, so little things can serve to slow you down. When I mentioned "fat adapted" in an earlier post, it can take up to 6 months to efficiently and readily burn fat, because you've been burning carbs for fuel up to now. You train yourself to adapt by the foods you eat, but it takes a bit of time.
By focusing on the eating plan and not worrying too much about getting immediate results, I started losing weight consistently. Surprising what can happen when you focus on consistent lifestyle habits without looking too often for results. You will get there . . .
