It's a trade-off. I can weigh daily and not get too bothered by the
numbers all that often. The point is to do what works, i.e. what will
keep you motivated.

Ease of losing weight is age-dependent. The older you are, the
harder it gets.

Only to a certain age, then people lose weight again.

Right, at some point your taste buds stop working and your
teeth get loose and painful and you're so tired of living
you don't even want to get dressed in the morning, nevertheless
go out to eat. So you lose weight.
Wow, good news! ;-)

No fat cottage cheese has an icky metallic taste. Not a good idea. Slim Fast's
Hot Meal is passable. Found somehing to substitue for butter with half the
calories and half the fat.
In all it's randomness, the scale has not registered anything higher than
158.5 in the last 3 days. Today it registered 156. I'm finally breaking
through.
Bought myself an mp3 player (long overdue) to help with the pace-motivation
for my workouts.

(Last I looked, all the calories in butter and its substitutes came from fat.
The fat may be corn oil, or even canola oil, but it's still fat.)

Butter substitutes tend to substitute water or air for the fat and charge you
for them.

But nonetheless, all of their calories still come from fat. Water, air and
fat are just about all that is in margerine.

If you use 50% more (by volume) of a spread that's 50% air & water (by
volume), then you've applied 25% fewer calories to you waistline (vs.
your old 100%-pure-fat spread).

(The point is not calories; the point is fat intake. Sure, you are getting
fewer calories, and less fat, using margerine instead of butter, but the
calories are _still_ 100% fat. Don't believe me? Read the label.)

It's true, most of the calories are still fat. But there's still only
4.5 gms fat / tablespoon of this new stuff (I don't remember the name)
as compared to 10gms in the "Can't Believe It's Not Butter" stuff. I
haven't had a chance to try it yet, so I don't know what it tastes
like. I'm a huge butter/butter-like-substance fan. I need something on
my bread. We'll see how this works.
Had a huge dinner last night. We were invited over to dinner at former
boss's place. Dinner was delicious though there was "ghee" (Indian
clarified butter, sometimes substituted for oil in dishes, and more
fatty and cholestrol-laden than oil) in most of the dishes. The scale
registered 158 this morning. I'm glad it still hasn't registered 159
and it's been about 4 or 5 days. I can safely say that I'm definitely
under 159 lbs now?

(I substituted honey and fruit preserves for butter on my bread. Salt and
pepper, no butter or substitute, on potatoes and corn. Salt and pepper on
salads. Salsa in tuna, instead of mayo. I really needed to eliminate fat
from diet. Still do.)

I don't like sweet stuff on my bread. So no honey or fruit preserves.
We cook potatoes the Indian way. I like to have corn without any
condimenmts.
I usually don't have anything with my tuna. Sometimes some Miracle-
Whip, though I haven't had that in a year now.
I've looked at what I usually eat, and think that most of my problems
were huge quantities and an intake of fat that I would definitely not
miss. And a serious lack of exercise

Oh man. I hate mayo. I will have to try that salsa with tuna thing.

Miracle-Whip isn't exactly mayo.

But it's a good enough substitute.
My exercise routine was interrupted by a page and spending an hour in the
locker room on the phone trying to conduct a conference to solve problem.
Luckily the call ended before my phone died, or I would have had t o return
home. I was able to resume workout after the hour, but it did mean that I got
home at 10:00 pm. today also showed me about how fanatical I've become about
my work-ou, once I've got to the gym,. Getting to the gym is a whole different
story. Also, working out to Bad Boy Bill is highly motivating, pace wise.
Dinner was salmon steak and Orange Juice. Today my carbohydrate intake was
only 43%. Which i'm not complaining about.I guess the fish contributed to the
low carbs and the high protein.

Salmon isn't too expensive. At least I can afford it from the local
Meijer

Isn't tuna the one with the heavy metal problem, not salmon?
I eat a fair amount of econo-canned pink salmon because it's a
quick/cheap/convenient protein.

How big are "small amounts"? And how frequently?

I thought it had to do with location as well. Though, from what I vaguely
remember from news broadcasts, there is a problem with ocean fish, as well
as, lake and river fish. And also a bit of an issue with oysters and
shrimpies.
