HELP!!!

NOt sure what I am doing. I have done LCHF 12 years ago and lost weight, But most recently I started before Xmas, for 7ish weeks and lost 7kg. I went on holiday and started when I got back. I've lost 1.5 kg in 5 weeks!!! HELP.
A little back ground about me.

I have a 13month old who I still feed morning and night.
I have had lap band 4 years ago - NO I don't loose weight easily with this, I still need to diet, but once weight is off it stays off. (unless I have a baby and have fill out!)
I have just had Implamon in since I have returned from holiday.

So I was wondering could the implamon be making it hard for me to loose weight? I have been using Keto sticks and I was pink to purple, so good. (I have run out now and NO chemist has them in stock!)

A typical days eating

Coffee with cream x2
Lunch, about 100g meat, normally with cheese of a dressing (mayo) as its easier to eat with my band
Dinner, green salad with more meat, steak chicken, again normally with a cream sauce as its easier for me to eat.
NO real snacks, I was having Atkins bars but I have cut them out.
Sometimes diet jelly with cream.
More coffee with cream, If I am hungry I will have cream and coconut oil.

I probably need to up my water drinking!!! I have been tracking my food with my fitnesspal.

Definitely implanon, there's been many over the years that havent tolerated it, I think @sinders was one who had trouble with it.

What are your calories at? they don't look like they would be high?

about 1000 a day. Im good at trying to keep high. I've had to with feeding the baby and not being able to eat heaps. I have more liquid out of my band atm and so it is slightly easier. My fat is about 60% protein 30% and carb 10%. This is the majority but there are days protein and fat 40% and carbs 20%. But carbs never goes over 20g.

It must definitely be from your contraception as you should be losing on more calories then that when not breastfeeding let alone when you are.

I have had both the implant n the marina. I had a lot of trouble losing weight. On both of them. (And I would NEVER RECOMEND THE MARINA EVER) In that person who has to stick religiously to low carb. If I eat an apple or some popcorn I'll pop pn 2 kgs m then will take 2 weeks up n down to get god if it. N i can still go months without losing anything. Keep going strong. Sounds like your eating enough fats. I would try upping the water and see if that helps l. Good luck xx

Definitely ketosis make sure you are drinking enough fluids as being dehydrated will concentrate the ketones and give a darker reading.

my weight has only gone down 500g since 24.4.16 but i have lost 11.5cm. So i must still be doing something right!

That's a great loss! Remember we don't lose weight for a number in kg, we do it for the measurements!!!
