MOVE-ing on....
Today marks my last day of move. I have been making myself miserable and if I were losing weight it would be worth it, but, I am not. I haven't lost so much as an ounce in four days. I strongly suspect the two pounds I lost in the begining of this little adventure were water weight left over from my period. After talking with kind friends who also follow this way of eating and taking a long hard look at what I am seeking to gain from losing more weight, I realize the areas in which I want to lose lose can be slimmed down with the right types of exercise. I don't honestly want to be just a whole lot smaller. I feel healthy the way I am.  I just want certain areas (upper arms :Op) not to jiggle. If I keep eating this way (restrictive MOVE misery as I like to call it)  I am going to eat something a whole lot worse than a piece of cheese or an Atkins bar, purely out of misery. I enjoy this way of eating. I know I can eat foods on the induction list and easily maintain my current weight. I am planning to add them back slowly to make sure nothing causes a spike, which, I suspect none of them will. Then I am moving onto OWL and doing it the right way. I can't stay obsessed with the number on the scale. I will just make myself crazy. There is a reason we are to stay in induction a limited amount of time and I think my time is just about up. Have a blessed day all, and to all of you who supported me in this hail mary attempt to lose a few more pounds I am grateful beyond words. In the words of a friend I have got to start accepting and loving myself NOW.   P.S.    Also I ate a serving of cheese with my pickle snack and it  was so  AWESOME!!!!!!!

Good luck on moving forward with your plan and not reverting back to off plan. You are at my goal right now and I am just 5'4" but pretty solid because of playing tennis 3/4 X 's a week for years and then golf for about the last ten.

You're so right stopping making yourself miserable for a few pounds. Welcome back to the land of happy meals (no, not thoses ones!) and healthy goodies. I'm moving to OWL next week and I have wayyyy more pounds to loose than you and I'm terrified. But excited too. Hope we can share the experience. And who knows? OWL might be just what your body needs to resume its course?
All the best and more...
