I am inside my 5 lb maintenance Range this week instead of below! ;)
My husband thinks I should keep my bite goals the same as last week and just see how it goes. I will probably decrease next time if it goes to 147 or above. I like to stay over a pound under my goal instead of riding the line ;)
I am now getting 2 servings of fruit everyday. For some poeple this may not seem like much, but quite a bit for me from almost NO fruits and vegetables at all before. My goal is to eventually get 5-9 servings fruits/veg a day. I am eating 10 Sunsweet Prunes everyday. 2 Sunsweet Prunes equals one bite for me, so I eat 2 prunes (1 bite) at Breakfast and 4 (2 bites) at Lunch and 4 (2 bites) at Supper.
I am still getting 1 bite of Peanut butter at each meal 3 times a day. This is supposed to help Supress the appetite for 12 hours and it really does help. I measured out my 3 bites of peanut butter once just to see how much Peanut butter I was getting with 3 rounded bites everyday. It ended up being right around 2 Tablespoons peanut butter for the 3 bites. Thats nice to know because that was 2 Tablespoons Peanut butter was significant in clinical studies I read from the Peanut Institute. It is a proven fact Peanut Butter regularly helps people keep their weight off long term. It really does decrease appetite! Try it!
Scince I have added the Prunes 3 times a day, I am able to keep my body running more smoothly, and I noticed it seemed like my cravings and/or desire for extra food was decreased even furthur than with just peanut butter.
Prunes are really good for keeping blood sugar stable too, so that might have something to do with why they say it helps people lose weight.

Maintenance Plan for Week 4
I am soon going to be making my new Stickk.com commitment contracts for next week, so I am evaluating my current weight vs. bites and figuring my bite plan out for next week!
Weight: 147 lbs https://trendweight.com/u/cd1f67ad57c04c/chart/2w.png
Below 5 lb Maintenance Range
Still below 5 lb Range, I am increasing my bites by 5 this coming week, starting on Monday.
Monday-Friday (N days): 45 bites
Saturday-Sunday (S days): 55 bites
My daily plan for N days looks like this, I recently started eating breakfast before I exercise
7:30 Start exercising 4 miles
aprox 7 AM- 7:30 AM 7 bites
12- 12:15 PM 14 bites
6 PM or when family eats 24 bites
Total Monday-Friday N days 45 bites
For my Weekends I just eat around 3-4 times whenever I want and then I divide the bites out like I want to (55 bites total)
Counting bites just is such a good portion control system! I can stay in control and still have a Capital S Meal once a month! I am hoping, God willing to go out to eat for date night with dear husband towards the end of March! I look forward to that meal, and yet I am still enjoying all my yummy bites in between there!

Maitenance Plan for Week 3
I had my Capital S day yesterday, so I am not planning on weighing until Tuesday.
Based on how things went last week, This is my eating plan for next week. I have increased my bites by 5 bites Monday-Friday for a total of 40 bites these days and increased my S days bites to 50 bites instead of 45
7-7:30 AM 6 bites
12-12:15 12 bites
6-6:15 PM Or when family eats: 22 bites
Total bites 40 bites
I changed my eating times this week closer to when I exercise and the meals are farther apart, I don't know if I will like it or not, I guess I will have to try it and see!
Im still figuring out exactly how many bites to keep me right in my 5 lb maintenance range, and I will probably be adjusting it from week to week for a while, maybe forever! That's ok! Id a lot rather adjust my bites than my calories! :)
