But this one was very good. I happened to not have fresh spinach and used frozen, and it was still very good!
I lost another 6 oz, so I have now officially lost half a pound! I "think" I'm finally on my way.
Won't do anymore updates for awhile.
(vacations, little trips, wedding, etc.) and I have just been maintaining the same weight for several weeks now. I have to go back to my normal strictness to get that ball rolling again. It's a little hard because our daughter is home after graduating college and will likely live here for a year or more until she likely gets married. She is tiny and doesn't need to be eating like we are, which means I have tempting bad food in my house! lol! Like chips and cookies and potatoes!!! haha! I am actually pretty good at home, but I break the rules when we are gone somewhere!
It's SO easy to justify.... I'm going to have to redefine special occasion. 
And that is great that you are at least maintaining. Make your daughter lock that stuff up in her closet!
Still losing between 6-8 oz and 1.4 lbs per day. It's pretty consistent -- 6-8 oz loss for 2-3 days then a 1 lb+ for a day or two then back to 6-8 oz. I'm feeling better and better the longer I do this. Energy level has skyrocketed to the point I feel antsy if I'm not moving all the time. Doing wonders for my "to do" list.
I am doing everything I should be, I can't, or won't do anything else. Except maybe try a 24 hour fast periodically. But as far as on a day to day basis, I'm not going to change. So, we'll see what happens.
When I hit that plateau for 2 weeks, I was eating 1 meal between 3-5 p.m. I switched to eating between 1-3 p.m. and adding some extra fat via olive oil, avocado, and cheese to my meal and that seemed to do the trick. Maybe you should try switching up the times of day you eat and adding in some extra calories for a couple days each week. The one thing that stood out in the article I linked on Mercola's site is when he stated that we have to take into account the time it takes for our food to digest when counting our fasting hours. I think he's correct on that. So if it takes 3 hours for food to digest then adding 3 hrs to the fast makes sense.On the downside, since the last day I posted that I lost, I have not lost another ounce.
Twenty-one pounds in 4 months is an achievement! That's 5.25 lbs/month which is pretty darn good when you consider that people on standard reduced calorie diets typically lose 1-3 lbs per month.
I will say this, I can't totally complain. My body IS changing, my shape is slimming some and my tops are definitely a bit looser. I know we should not focus just on the scale, but it's hard not to. Especially when you KNOW you got a bunch of fat to get rid of. 
And sat there smelling all that deliciousness for almost two hours with total resolve. It really wasn't near as bad as I thought it might be. And it just proved to myself that I am finally determined. No matter what does or doesn't happen, I can only make concessions once in awhile, not every time an opportunity arises.
