Update. Weekly weigh-in. (now that I have a scale)

Well as I said, I bought my scale last weekend and was surprised to find that I had lost 15 pounds in about 3 months, at 160 pounds. I weighed myself this morning and am down 5 lbs to 155!! So happy, Im keeping up with my walking and running and small portion sizes. Custard cups are generally half a cup, so I use them for my meals so I know how much Im eating. That and I wont end up over eating like I would with a normal size bowl.


Keep up the good work everyone. Remember, a short walk or run is better than none at all.

Ugh, right, the weight in tomorrow morning......yay I am so excited (sarcastic)! lol
No, I am hoping that reverse psychology will work and that I will NOT have gained or maintained and that I DO lose weight.....
Way to go Lucy! Thanks for all the tips by the way. I Think i will be getting some frozen yogurt tomorrow at the store!

haha nice twehner, love your sense of humor.

The custard cup this was I can usually never finish whats in a normal sized bowl and feel over stuffed if I do,so if I only see X amount of food, Im going to savor it more and not just woof it down. I encourage everyone to try it. Chapmans frozen yogurt is 60 calories per 1/2 cups o I know that I can either have that, or not even a whole lindt ball for that amount. Hmm one bit or 10? 10!! By the way, frozen yogurt, low call is the way to go, have it when you want Ice cream, it makes a difference.

Whooo Hooo Hooo .. am so PROUD of YOU!!!   GREAT JOB on the weight loss and Congratulations on the scales and reaching the 155 mark!!!  

Love the idea with the custard cup and measuring can be crucial!  My larger dinner plates and regular cereal bowls are no longer used ... I use the fruit cups and the smaller salad plates for my regular dishes now.  

Thanks for the encouragement and sharing this profound statement ... "Remember, a short walk or run is better than none at all." ... it was well worth repeating!!!
