How long did you stay in OWL Rung 1? Did you add a new food or did you raise your carbs? To be on the safe side, it is probably better not to increase your carbs or introduce a new food before TOM is over. 
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Just a week in rung 1, I added an additional 5 grams of carbs of veggies a day. Just things like tomato sauce and eggplant. I'll stay with the extra veggies until TOM is over, excellent advice, thank you!

I agree with Georgiana -- there is no rush to climb the rungs so if you are waiting for Aunt Flo to come visit I'd stay on Rung 1 also. I'm staying on Rung 1 because I didn't loose any weight but it's been a stressful week but more importantly I have no desire to add anything other than the 5 carbs of veggies to what I've eaten so far. Good luck!!

I am parked on berries because I am not that concerned about drinking and terrified of legumes. I love beans... lentils.. mmm...There is no way I could eat a half cup of lentils at a time only. OWL is so important, but there is no set speed to 'rung climibing' as long as you aren't at the point where you should be in premaintenance. I say you along with the rest that you are doing fine.

You should at least stay on each rung for awhile to make sure you have no issues with that food group. I would wait, making sure I was still losing

A great way of adding more veggies without overfacing yourself with bulky veg is to make sauces to serve over meat etc from pureed cooked veg like peppers or onions/celery etc. It adds flavour without seeming to be piling extra food on your plate
