I'm one as well..
One thing I learned is that I lose well, when I follow the plan exactly...when I try to "tweak", I run into problems like stalling or too much sugar at my rm and then fighting the cravings for the next 2 days.
This time, my head is more in it and I'm not such a slave to the scale. I weigh myself everyday, for sure, but am not bothered when it doesn't move or if it goes up one pound after eating out.
This is my plan for life...for my sanity!! It is the only plan that keeps away the cravings and gives me the control to make good food choices everyday.
