Well here it is Friday again. I give up, I am going to be 219 lbs for
the rest of my stinkin life at this rate. This is week FIVE of my stall
and I am sincerely frustrated and disappointed. I have done everything I
know to do to kickstart my weightloss again since I quit smoking and I
haven't lost one single lb. I haven't gained either and yes I know
that's a Good Thing(tm) - But working hard on the track to walk 5-6
miles each day and 3 miles on my bike each morning. Watching my
calories/intake carefully to stay under 1600 calories a day. You would
think that I would at least lose a single friggin POUND! ^%#@@!!#@ -
ARGH.
I'm now considering maybe a 2-3 day Fast. Any thoughts on that?

Susan, you WILL lost again. I'm certain of it.

Rather than a fast, I'd recommend that you seriously consider a refeed
day. Go out somewhere and eat a great dinner -- eat 2500-3000
calories for the day or so. Then do a couple of days a little below
your 1600 average. Then got back to 1600. Seriously. This often
will get the weight loss started again. And even if it doesn't, an
extra couple of hundred calories isn't going to hurt you.
