sorry to be checking in at the end of the day instead of the beginning...I've been OP all the way lately, but scale stayed exactly the same this week at 165.5 and though frustrated, because I wanted immediate reward for staying OP, I am reminding myself that it doesn't always work that way. Today the 'binge monster' was looking over my shoulder all day...had to schedule in on purpose more calories in my eating day than I would normally do, but as a strategy to avoid a full-on binge, it worked. Laura wow, congrats on your progress, and Patty, as you can see, I totally sympathize with getting stuck at a certain wt. The best thing we do though, is to remain OP...and we will eventually see the results we dream of...take care everyone, maajida
