Weight Loss Accountability/Support Group Thread

When I'm counting calories like I am now I use My Fitness Pal and it almost always states a measurement, so I use a little scale and measuring cups.

For example, last night we had salmon, broccoli and baked sweet potatoes. I measured out a cup of broccoli and didn't worry about whether it was level or heaping, but I weighed the salmon to get 4 oz and weighed my 6.5 oz sweet potato. My son's and husband's were over 9 oz which just shows what a difference you can have. The thing I'm most careful about is fats. I used exactly 1 Tablespoon of butter with the whole meal.

I like the weighing and measuring part because it makes me feel in control, what gives me anxiety is something like trying to estimate the meals when we eat out.

Della, I cannot carry a tune in a bucket or remember the second step to a dance. That does not keep me from singing and shagging in the kitchen. Until SO is home:>) How does a hoola hoop sound?

A hula hoop sound like fun and a great waist exercise, Twostep!

I'd watch that shagging in the kitchen though. We have Brits on board who have a whole different definition for that.

Thank you for the heads up! Had a British intern at work whose household shipment was late. I offered a comforter as loaner

I usually don't eat anything between 8 PM and noon. I have two meds to take on an empty stomach and not together so the morning can drag on. A couple of meds need a full meal or risk burning a hole in my gut which has happened so I eat a lot of creamy foods.
In spite of this I have been losing weight. Who knows why? I hope it isn't cancer.

Its me again (Alizerine) with my new name.
It seems my weight loss might be due to intermittent fasting. One of the techniques is not to eat for 16 hours. I often did that without realizing that it was a thing.
