Thinking of going backto liquids for a week....
Roz...totally NOT offended!! I value your and everyone else's input. I got in the habit of saltine crackers as a snack.....just for the crunch and salt I think. Seemed to satisfy me....but no more!! Done with that!! Yogurt, protein shakes and beef jerky so far today. I needed to get reeled back in. I am too early out to mess up....I am totally committed to losing this for life. So please accept my sincere gratitude for all your post.
Oh - I hear ya! I love the salty crunchy foods... I wish I dumped on those! I've never been a big sweet eater, and I DID dump on sugar...
To get a salty "crunch" take some pepperoni slices and microwave or bake them for a short time. They will crisp up and they're like chips you can pick up.

I know all about loving the salty things! But I also notice that when I have something with high salt content then I stay the same for days after - water retention most likely. But I thought I'd share my secret salty fix - I mix a teaspoon of Lipton onion soup mix into some plain greek yogurt (the onion bits give it crunch and the onion flavoring gives it a kick), then I spread it on deli meats, or dip yellow pepper slices, etc. It really saves me from reaching for the bad stuff. I know it may sound gross, but I think it's delicious!
Good luck! I'm sure you are shrinking even if you are not loosing pounds.

I had the same 5 week stall but this week I dropped 5 pounds and I didn't change anything. Stalls will happen throughout this process and I was told just do what your doing and it will fall off eventually. I love that I haven't had carbs and I intend to keep it that way - makes such a difference not just in losing weight but in my energy level, etc.
Wow that is soooo encouraging!! Thank you!! And 5lbs!!! Holy COW!! I have never lost 5lb in one drop!! That's amazing!! I can only hope!! I am strictly watching the carbs....didn't realize there was so much in my yogurt as well!! But anywho...onward...looking for some good results this week!! Absolutely...no CRACKERS!
