Great to see you've 'gone". Hope things keep running along smoothly from here on out!

LizRR Do you use the WF salad dressings? I do not plan on using the restricteds but would like to experiment with the WF dressings. I need a little "spice" .
I actually LOVE apple cider vinegar with a splash of evoo - I am addicted to the acid kick. I'm not too much of a fan of the WF dressings as dressings - I use them for marinades and sautées, usually doctored up. My favorites are asian or sesame ginger w/some soy, and I like the spicy BBQ on my kale chips, I also use the ketchup w/Tabasco with my turnip fries.
Oh, but been meaning to try the raspberry jelly dressing recipe.

Fantastic! I was just going to say things will move along better for you from now on but then realized that was an awful pun too!
But I am sure this is why you were getting so frustrated with your rate of weight loss lately.
Ishbel and Dana; again, thanks for clarifying and keeping me on track. I come here to be accountable and to be honest. I will talk to my coach in the futre for any planned deviations and come to the posts if I want to do a mindless cheat!! I still find it difficult to follow some days; I have emotional hunger often and maybe I need to open up a bit regarding that...but I don't know if this is an appropriate place for that. I have used food for just about every emotion most of my life and this is seeming to be the most difficult aspect for me. I also miss sweets; so these puddings and bars are real treats for me. What happens when you go back to real food and there are no more packets; can you continue doing a pudding each day to get your sweet fix?
I've been on this plan for seven months now, and I still occasionally have challenging days - like today. On those days I just eat a little extra protein and that seems to help. I would bet you that many of us are emotional eaters. I know in my case it was often out of boredom. It was a total comfort issue for me. I do feel now that I have broken that chain.

I've had a restricted almost every single day since I started, and truthfully I don't know if I could have done much better weight wise if I hadn't had them. I really think they helped me to stay on plan. Even after all of these months I still look forward to my peanut butter crunch bar and a cup of tea.

Busymom I am glad things are moving along. I hope you find some relief!
I had a great weekend and no problems staying 100% OP. A peek at my scale this morning said 200.6. So stinking close! Official WI is tuesday so maybe I will be singing a song in onederland!

Hope you make it over to the "other side" by Tuesday. I remember it was like pulling teeth for me to get into onederland. The first time my weight loss ever slowed down was right before onederland. Very frustrating indeed.

Can't wait to hear you sing in Onederland.
I am doing a great job staying 100% OP. Hoping the next couple of weeks sees me at the 1/2 mark.

MeadowWheeler and Dana, thanks for the positive thoughts. Another quick peek at the scale this morning and 201! The big moment might be delayed but WI isn't until tomorrow! I love this diet! I feel so good about life right now. I will be at my halfway mark when I hit 199 and then it feels like it will be less about not being fat and more about being fit.
You guys have a great day!

Hang in there. The scale could very well move down by tomorrow! The halfway point was a big thing for me, so I know how you feel. I love your positive attitude. Keep it up!
Today is WI day for me. Hope I made it to the 170s. This weekend was a busy one for us. My youngest daughter had a slumber party. She turns 8 on Thursday. So, I spent most of the weekend running around. I discovered that I no longer want to eat cake. The super-sweet smell of her birthday cake was a big turn off for me, and I was able to slice and serve it without being tempted! So, I was able to stay OP without a struggle. That's a big thing for me! It makes me more confident that I can stick with the program in maintenance.

I totally hear you about not being tempted - I've had several situations where the 214lb Liz would have jumped to be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in line for pizza, cake, ice cream, cheese biscuits, etc - now I am not even tempted when it's right in front of my face. Good luck on WI today!
