Stalled. I Mean, *Really* Hard

It appears I have not lost any weight (overall) since the end of June. I am going to have to do some hard calculating on macros and why I am not losing weight. I still feel good. I have energy, but then again, I've always had energy. I just have a little bit more now. I'm eating at or under my macros. I don't use a lot of sugar substitutes...other than in my morning coffee. I've been doing 18-hour fasts (not eating until lunch) a couple times a week. I *am* in ketosis. My new blood monitor shows that I stay at 1.1 or 1.2 consistently. My blood glucose is generally between 86 and 93...and I've never had a reading higher than 100 after eating (2 hours). So I am still a bit lost as to why the weight loss has stalled....and for so long. I upped my water intake. Upped my electrolytes. I use MCT powder. And will be adding bone broth this week. I simply must get past this block. Because I know me....if I can't lose weight (even a small amount), I will say F it and
