Hi Sgorny,

I'm afraid I don't have the skill to put together a file to which people can add information. But if others want one, perhaps someone can build it?

3 or 4 packs/day? 3

restricted or not? for the last 2 weeks I have only had 2 restricted items - when my weight loss stalled after week 2 I decided to cut back on the bars to try and get me moving again. Getting by without them just fine so saving them for times when it's not convenient to make something else.

total pounds want to lose? 35 (at least - may bump this up to 45 if I get to the end of the road and am ready for more)

Interesting observation that you will stop losing if you only have 3. I had slowed down a ton about 2 1/2 weeks ago....I switched to add more exercise (30 minutes on Wii a day) and either a 4th packet or a restricted each day (one or other) and the scale is moving again. I was so afraid of the restricted packets
