OR, try this variant of the Wendie Plan that we call the Maggie Plan:
Use all 49 WPA's in the first 3-4 days of your week, then stick to target for the last 3-4. It seems to work for many of the women on this board who try it. There are a few rules with it, though--you MUST follow the Good Health Guidelines, eat good healthy food. and have a glass of milk late afternoon/early evening.
I think this will be easier for me to do than the Wendie plan. So the first days of my week are Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Mon-Thurs. are the lighter eating days.
Sunday Phase 1.5
B: quinoa pancake, avocado, kefir
S: peanuts
L: turkey mb with sauce and parm cheese

Be well -

Snacks through out the day: cheese stick, sf werthers, NSA fudgicle (2), and 5 swedish fish at the movies with my best girlfriend.
I keep having these little slip ups...1st with the couple bites of cake and the the swedish fish, but each morning I hop on the scale to a loss...Day six and I've lost 10.5 lbs....must be all the exercise I've been getting
Breakfast: 2 eggs; 2 slices turkey bacon; 6-8 oz V8; 2 cups coffee with ¼ cup 1% milk and artificial sweetener
Lunch: Spinach Salad with 2 slices turkey bacon (crumbled) and NF Feta Cheese
Snack: Apple with peanut butter
Dinner: General A-Rods Chicken (chicken and broccoli); brown rice
Desert: SB Friendly Lemon Torte
Not a happy weigh day today, but I think it's just one of those weird scale things... I weigh exactly what I did last week, but I snuck in a mid-week, non-official weigh in on Wednesday and I was down 1.5 pounds at that point... next week the scale will be friendlier, I'm sure.
Monday doing Phase 1:
B: lf cottage cheese with avocado
L: salad with roasted chicken and dressing
S: carrots and ss peas
D: chicken patty and roasted green beans
Had a decent weekend -- food was on plan, alcohol consumption was not. woke up this morning only .8 lbs. higher than Friday, though, so I'm hoping I didn't do too much damage. Looking forward to a good hard workout this morning to get rid of those toxins.

Matilda, I have a question for you. I notice that you drink a kefir most mornings. At first I didn't even know what it was but later found it in the grocery store. In reading the ingredients, I noticed that there was a log of sugar included. What do I not understand? How does that affect your cravings and isn't that much sugar not a good thing? Hope you don't mind my asking. I'm just trying to learn.
Z - A question for you too. What kind of oats and how much and is it as simple as just soaking them overnight in (how much) almond milk?
Today my plan for phase 1.5
B - mock pancakes w/sf jam or syrup, v-8, decaf coffee w/sf creamer.
S - 1 hb egg and 1/2 apple
L - leftover spaghetti squash deep dish pie
S - 1 tsp almond butter
D - leftover spaghetti squash deep dish pie and grn salad
S - ?
Now that I've made a plan, just need to stick to it!
