Hello Heatherbee...I don't think I would refeed just yet...For 1 you haven't been on this WOL for very long and I would think that if you are craving sweets you could easily fall off the wagon...I have heard people say it is hard to go back to eating this way and others who says theres no problem...But with you only being on it for this short period of time I would agree with kingb and say don't do it.

By the way...I think everyone goes through weeks where they don't lose a pound which is what it sounds like you are doing...Have you been measuring you inches to see if you are losing there...I didn't lose a pound the 2 week I was on this WOL and during the 6th week I only lost a pound...But during those 2 weeks I lost more inches than others weeks...You body has to adjust to the loses...
Good luck on a WOOSH FAIRY coming your way to pick up a couple pounds!!!

Thanks for your feedback kingb123 and Happygrrl.

To be honest, I am really kind of scared to refeed. While, a coke or gatorade sounds good when I see one, I am not feeling deprived by not having one. Also, I am not experiencing any hunger, which is a nice change. But I have been reading alot of threads about people that have been stalled for weeks and months. I have never been stalled more than two weeks on any other diet. And it's important to me to keep loosing, since I am getting married on May 16. I think that I will continue doing what I am doing for now and see what happens at my next weigh-in on Tuesday.

I have lost inches over the past month. I am going to start measuring weekly from now on. Here are my stats:
bust: -1.5
waist: -1.5
hips: -2
arms: -.5
legs: -.5

I also work out doing cardio and weights three times a week and do abs 2-5 times a week, which really helps take the inches off.
