I finally tried the cc pudding, and it's pretty good. I haven't tried it w/pp yet but it's definitely an improvement on just eating cc that's for sure! I'll have to try it w/pp next time. I haven't had a chance to log it in my journal, though. Thanks for being my guinea pig, lol

I think 2000-2200 is where I need to be...I weighed myself sat and I'm down to 211 plus I lost a couple of inches off of my waist since Jan 1st. (My size 16 pants are getting a little loose as well...I'm very excited b/c it seems like I've been on this plateau forever!) So I think that's a good place for me to be and it's easy to maintain that number.

That's good. It's always hard when you are losing weight for a long time because your body constantly adapts to the cal level after a while. That's why the smartest thing to do when you first begin your weight loss goals, is to take a couple of weeks to figure out what the absolute max amount you can eat w/o gaining is, and determine that to be your maintenance level. Then subtract your 300-500 cals/day from that amount. This way, when your body adapts, you can afford to drop a few more cals/day and not starve. I made the mistake of cutting my cals down to 1500 when I first began trying to lose weight, and then when I hit a plateau, I lowered them again to 1300, then 1200 until I was starving and couldn't take it anymore. I eventually did the research, ate about 1000 extra cals/day until I discovered my true maintenance level, and allowed my metabolism to reset to the new cal amnt. Then I only dropped to 1900 cals for weight loss, and I was much more satisfied at my meals, and thus stuck with it until the rest of the weight melted off. Now I eat more than I ever imagined I could (mind you I'm only 5 ft, and I HAVE to eat over 2000 just to maintain, and I can get away w/up to 2300 w/ no gains) it's a dream come true .... But just so you know, I know the plateau all to well, mine was about a year or so, until I wised up.
