Just curious now that you are up the ladder and all what you do you eat in a typical day? When I got to goal I switched from Atkins to S Beach and never did the ladder. Just curious…. 
So I started the thread asking who maintains without a scale and I came to the conclusion that I will share my experience trying to go scaleless.
Some of you may think that I am crazy and in fact I have my own fears about this but because of my unhealthy bondage to the scale god I am going to give this a try. My plan is to stay a comfy size 8, exercise, and eat right. I will post the ups and downs and if I break down and get on the scale I will post that also. I plan on using my pants as a guide and when they are too tight I know I will need to cut back. Anyone who wants to join in is quite welcome.
This week I feel very positive about my body and food. My sister’s and I went to Talbot’s on Monday and I got two very form fitting and cute tops. I was very happy with my purchase and I felt so good about my weight loss because for so very long I could not buy clothes that I desired. I had to buy clothes that hid (at least I thought). I have a closet full of cute jeans, pants and capri’s and it is very nice to stay the same size from season to season.
Good morning, a friend of mine was over last night and she said rolled oats have no carbs, I don’t want to argue with her but I thought they did! Google gave me very little info, what’s the truth? Thanks
LOL, I may mix my dressing/mayo too in bulk, and I thought about freezing it for easy access. Is it possible, does anyone do this? If so, how do you store it? TY!
I successfuly switched over to whole wheat pasta for my family – they really like it, which makes me very happy! as I feel I can serve pasta more often to them. I try to serve 90% healthy food and they do eat brown rice, multigrain bread, etc along with their occasional potatoes, and other carby not-very-nutritional stuff, lol!
I haven’t brought myself yet to eat any of those things .. the rice and bread do not tempt me in the least, but I may try to add in the ww pasta (a la carb ladder) and was wondering whether anyone else eats this regularly, or tried it, etc.
TIA!!!

Does anybody else eat a small amount of very dark chocolate daily for the polyphenol it contains? Yes, of course I eat berries too, but I tell myself why not eat chocolate daily to curb that craving. Also, it has some health benefits. Should I, shouldn’t I? It doesn’t make my bloodsugar spike, I’m pretty sure. I just want to know what others thought on this. The chocolate is 70%. I eat a small square.
