WEll, just enjoy the fact that you lost those initial pounds, and have patience, (pause here, I'm listening to my own advice, O.K.) stick with the program and it will come around.
I lost 20 pounds in 8 weeks, week 9, 10, and heading to 11, nothing. But I'm sure, when you really think about it, it makes sense your body is adjusting, and it will try to hang on to what it is used to, but there is tons of examples here to prove it will start to give up again, and you will lose, (note to self are you listening?)

Sorry the bars may be a problem, (oops forgot you did say you cut them out) look in the recipe thread here for sweets that might help in that department.
How about starting a journal here? It's a great tool.
Cheers Kathy
