My weight loss has come to a screeching halt.
Seems like the my only recourse is to go back on the Fuhrman ETL diet since the MWL isn't doing it for me anymore, unless anyone has any ideas for me?

I may have needed a little vent last week, but this diet is working and it's a lot easier for me to stick to it than Joel Fuhrman's 'Eat to Live' diet. Fuhrman's diet needs to be renamed to 'Eat to Live While Suffering.'
Glad I found MWL!
I've got a little over a month left to go to hit my goal weight. Once the weather gets nicer an I'm able to start cycling, my main sport that I've been doing for decades, the weight will come off a lot easier. I'm looking forward to getting back into my favorite shape that allows me to ride (peloton/group ride) with fit people.
I've got a little over 5 lbs left to lose, but at this rate and if the weather gets better, so I can start cycling outdoors, I may even reach the weight I got down to when I did Fuhrman; 102. That'd be cool. I'm pretty unstoppable riding uphill at that weight.
Please forgive the bragging, but I'm excited. Being lean and fit again is well within my reach.

As an aside, I’ve been fighting with myself to stay out of the pleasure trap for awhile now - with periods of success followed by longer stretches of difficulty. While I enjoy having a chance to celebrate the successes and efforts of everyone here each week, I’m embarrassed at my own lack of progress. I try not to compare and I am genuinely happy for everyone, but I’m only human.... and this has me not checking in here with you all as often, and I apologize for that. In the long ago past, when I consistently struggled to stay on plan, I would just fade away. Stop posting, stop checking in, stop reading and stop lurking in the lounge enjoying all the banter. That’s actually how I dealt with a lot of problems...fade away. I’m trying not to do that anymore, but sometimes I slip back into old patterns when feeling particularly stressed. This is Dr. Lisle’s ego trap, and it sucks too. I’ll figure it out, but I wanted to share where I’m at right now. Feeling battle weary. This one’s for me:

Connie - I miss calling you Rosey...LOL. Just thinking about flowers makes me smile. I’m glad to see the scale is cooperating. How is your Mcdougall plan going? Do you have Easter or Passover plans?
Rosey wrote:Laugh. Call me what ever you want. I chose Rosey because of it being so upbeat. For most part I'm sticking to it better. I don't really do anything special that day food wise. It's just another day for me. Same with all holidays. Holidays for me are about the people not the food/gifts which really makes my sister just younger then me mad at me.

I have been lurking at this thread. If you don’t mind, (as I do not want to derail or trigger anyone) would you please tell me how you adjusted the creamy pumpkin bar recipe from minimalist baker, that you made last year without oil?
Thanks,
Kathy
