Severely Depressed

Today's weigh-in: 222.8...which is the same as yesterday (and pretty much the previous three weigh-ins, too).

I've asked a couple of friends who do the low carb diet for some help, because I'm terribly disheartened right now. I've been doing this low carb diet since last week, and it's not going well for me at all. The first five days were great, but my weight loss has suddenly stopped and I can't understand why. I'm not eating anything different than I was last week, but my last five weigh-ins have been 222.4, 223.2, 222.6, 222.8, and 222.8. Yesterday, I had two cups of coffee (not low carb but only 19 grams of total carbs between the two cups), a celery stalk with natural peanut butter (11 grams), a salad of iceberg lettuce, spinach, and kale with diced chicken, cheddar cheese, and dressing, pork tenderloin with green beans with butter, and a couple of fat bombs because I was worried there wasn't enough fat. All I drank other than the coffee was water and diet Coke. I'm crushed that I didn't lose any weight yesterday, because I calculated my total carbs, not even net, and it was less than 40. The only thing I have done differently this week than last week is that Sunday I started doing a little mini circuit of pushups, planking, dips, squats, and lunges, but I'm only doing the circuit twice and I'm not doing many of each exercise yet. I really am depressed about the last few days, especially since I'm not enjoying this diet. I'm already tired of rich, creamy, meaty stuff. I need some suggestions for something to kickstart the weight loss again, because if I can't get this back on track pretty quickly, I'm going to give up. This sucks.
