Guilty!
 

I do the same thing! I jump on and off the scale about 20 times a day. It's a hard habit to break and for the longest time I wouldn't buy a scale because I knew I would do that! Sometimes I think I was better off not knowing!

another day....
 

Okay...so this morning I only hopped on the scale a couple of times (but made dh go on a few times to see what was going on)...since I was late for work I had no time to continue, but it does look like I've lost some more weight, which is quite thrilling!

I'm still hungry sometimes so I think I'm not eating right combinations or enuf veggies or fibre maybe? And I'm still having trouble getting in 50 grams of fat..but I figure that's mostly to my advantage.

I'm a bit anxious about this weekend as I'm going to Montreal for a family event which will be EXTREMELY STRESSFUL!!!! My brother is flying in from Florida, so it will be very nice to see him again.

We are staying in a hotel and will be taking all our meals out, so I know I'll have to plan carefully and may not have the information I need to calculate all fat grams. I know there is a "chicken" place nearby, as well as a fish place, both of which I'm sure I can handle. Bought myself one of those calorie/fat gram counting books which I hope will help.

Hope you all have a great weekend....I'll check in later!

Frouf:D

Good luck Frouf! Eating out is always difficult for me, but I have learned how to handle it a lot better than I used to! One of the tricks is to share a meal with someone or take half home and have it for lunch the next day (that probably won't work if you're staying at a hotel though). But scour the menus, they have lots of low-fat options these days!

I was doing great until tonight! Took the kids to an amusement park and indulged in too many goodies! I think I will walk 4 miles tomorrow to try and make up for it! :lol:

You sound like you have been on a roll! Don't let the trip set you back! You can do it!

I'm so amazed that you have a hard time eating all your fat. I have a hard time NOT going over! I think in the beginning though, I was the same way. I was so motivated and SO GOOD that I never went over on anything, but then I also lost about 10 lbs a month! (This was pre-Xenical.) How I wish that enthusiasm could have been bottled into a blue pill for me!!

I go through weeks when I'm ravenous, by the way. I think I'm having one of THOSE weeks right now in fact! The hunger thing eludes me, I wish I could find the secret to eating less and NOT being hungry, unless the hunger is all in my head!

One good day!
 

Well I didn't walk 4 miles on Saturday, but I walked 2 and I stayed with my plan! Ate within my "exchange system", didn't go over on fat or calories and didn't eat before bed. That alone is a huge accomplishment for me. Now if I could get back to doing that every day! I'll take it one day at a time!

Today we're taking the kids to a ball game. That will be a real test for me as the place is loaded with ice cream, hot dogs, fried dough and a million other goodies!

Here's to ending the weekend on a GOOD NOTE!
