Hey MsPony, that is how my weight loss went when I did the NT route. I was so frustrated...I blamed it on stress, and it may have been. Lord knows I've had my share in the last year or so. It wasn't until I started this primal thing that the weight just 'fell off'. Each morning I feel thinner and thinner. Then again, the big stress load is behind me now.
My daughter is thinner now too.

It has been almost a month.

Good luck with the milk!! Tell us (me) how it goes 
We got new animal cages at work last week, TONS of work, then were starting remodeling Tuesday. Which means *more* work that has been going on. I'm exhausted, thank god I don't eat terrible, I don't need to be sick.
I got up at 7am yesterday for 9am shift, then at 8pm went to go relax with a few beers with my coworker. I stayed up with him mainly chatting until 12, got home at 1230...ugh!! I'm exhausted, almost feel asleep standing up w/ head on hubbys chest at lunch. I couldn't eat lunch
I was going to experiment in the kitchen tonight, but I think when I get off @ 630 I'm just going to bed.
I haven't been eating as much lately But, again, I've been working hard and not stopping to think about much. You would think I could work my hiney off, lol, its still the same size.

Oh, also, since I'm not used to lots of yeast anymore, I was burping TONS last night! Yuck. It made my tummy kind of icky too.

Oh man!!
Feeling better than ever. My belt is on the next hole as of today. That is three holes better than I started this whole thing almost a month ago.
Sam is full of energy and plays outside every time she gets a chance. She is also not a chow hound anymore. Unfortunately we found out she still has to have the surgery to remove the growths in her throat.
Breakfast:
butternut chocolate cake (I know, probably not the wisest of choices, but hey, I didn't have to cook anything.)
water
Lunch:
biggy salad full of veggies, topped with sliced turkey breast
homemade dressing
water
Dinner plans:
homemade chicken salad (full of veggies) on top of a bunch of dark greens
homemade salad dressing
water
no snacks for anyone

This is what really inspired me to try grain free. We're actually doing an atkins-type induction, then may try bringing some things back in. Or not, depending on how we're feeling. But I was so tired of fighting with my son about food! It was constantly asking for more and more food, and he's so overweight. Today was our first day and we both enjoyed the freedom! I posted a list on the fridge of "ok things to eat" and told him he could eat as much as he liked. I've never been able to tell him that before--the child would literally eat until he vomited if I didn't rein him in. I'm trusting his body will self regulate with the very limited carbs and he will eat appropriate amounts after a few days.
Breakfast
sausage and eggs, I had spinich in mine
Lunch
ds had tuna salad and string cheese
I had bacon and string cheese, coleslaw
snack
spinich dip
dinner
baked chix thighs
salad
I'm trying mashed cauliflower.

Hi Donrae,
Good for you! I had to clean out all the bad stuff, as I said, and give it to charity. Now if Sam wants anything, she is going to have to make it or eat leftovers. I forgot to clean out my baking pantry and found her elbow deep in some chocolate chips. So I gave it all to my neighbor. (Hate to waste the stuff, even though it isn't good for you.)
With all the toxic sludge out of her body, she is finally able to absorb the nutrients, thus feeding her body what it needs. We ate pretty good most of the time, however she needed more.
Having her home from most of school lets me be in control of everything she eats, that really helped in the beginning when she wasn't sure what to eat.
(She is on two different diets, a soft mechanical-thickened liquid diet and this 'primal' diet.)
Tomorrow I'm buying my raw jersey milk and that will be the only type of dairy we are going to consume. No cheeses unless I make it from the raw milk. I think that was a downfall for us. Too much store bought non-raw cheeses.
I'm also finding out that tomatoes and/or bell peppers make me feel yucky, so I nixed them from our menu.
Abifae was totally right, once you eliminate then add back in stuff, you can totally tell when something doesn't agree with you.
And yes, I don't regulate how much she eats. She can graze on anything now w/o me worrying. She (well, we) have a diminished appetite for sure.

Ah ha! Nightshades!
Glad you are identifying the things that your body does not like!
