God wiseowl_123 wish I could eat some of those carbs my readings would be off the scale.But you are doing well,I think it's because I've been 17 years type2 diabetic that I cannot eat carbs now but I'm not going hungry with the veg.to fill me up Keep doing well good luck to you.
 
Made low carb scones. 2 cups almond flour. Half cup fine coconut. 1 Tbsp xylotol and 1tbps baking powder. Pinch salt. 3 oz cold butter and 3rd cup of full fat milk. 2 eggs. Mix all dry ingredients then rub in butter. Beat eggs with milk and gently add to dry mix. Do not over mix. Spoon 8 to 10 spoons onto creased baking tray. Brush with a little milk. Bake 180 c for 15 to 20 mins. Approx 3 to 4 carbs each. Quite nice when you fancy something for desert.

The problem is, Granny, that what is too little/enough/too much for one person can be quite the opposite for another. Your 6 lbs in 5 weeks is nice gentle loss, and there are advantages to that, in terms of how our skin reacts.

I didn't have masses of weight to trim off, but it happened quickly for me. I was only concentrating on getting my bloods right, and the love handles, and more disappeared FAST. I appreciate how annoying that might be for you, but it's how it was. The downside is, I am left with loose skin on my arms and my previously noticeable bosom have gone. Losing more slowly may have helped me. Of course, that's only a theory, as I can't change it now.

If you want to try to accelerate your loss you could just try trimming back your fats a bit. The thing about fats is that a small amount can make a real difference to some folks, so don't go too mad paring back or your end up hungry and really not getting enough nutrition.

Good luck with it all. :)
