I've also seen it (once) at the old Price club (maybe S&R has some?). They're good old fashioned oatmeal that needs to be cooked. Very nutty, and great with a hint of salt. You can do it! I voted yes to your May challenge, so you know most of us are gunning for your success. Sometimes the best thing to do with a plateau is not to force the issue, take your mind off the weight challenge, eat a little bit more. Then the following week, change tactics a little. Eat more protein, add more muscle training, interval training, or try a new sport. Your body will be a bit shocked by the new activity, but it might be what it takes to get those few lbs off.

Try measuring your waist, legs, etc.. you might see the improvement. Keep it up! :) Hi MM. dont be discourage with your weight-loss program, maybe some of your “fats” turned into muscles, so your weight will be about same.

When I had just 5 pounds to go and the weight just wouldn't budge, I had to bite the bullet and do SBD's Phase 1 -- strictly, absolutely no cheating. After a few weeks of that plus exercise, I lost the weight, got cut, but was also DYING to eat all the carbs I could! Needless to say, I couldn't sustain the discipline and gained the weight back tout de suite. I recently tried to be that strict with myself again, but I got SO cranky and started dreaming about food! I think those of us who truly love food and aren't blessed with naturally skinny physiques have to decide which is more important: how we look, or how we feel. Sometimes, those last few pounds just aren't worth it. Don’t be so down on yourself, MM, the last few pounds are always the hardest to lose!

And such a forceful name to boot. Will keep my eyes out for these...anyone know if they are sold in Manila? Joey, thanks for the suggestion, the oatmeal tasted great! Tulip, I think I would faint several times during the day if I only ate 2000 calories, I suspect I am closer to 4000 right now...heehee.

So glad you enjoyed the apple in the oatmeal! :) I must admit though that it doesn't take much for me to enjoy oatmeal because I love the stuff :) I have your granola recipe bookmarked...I just love these oaty/wheaty/cerealy things!
