resp:80 resp:86 that's what I'd been saying all along.
resp:82 resp:83 Better advice: portion control. Eat a little less than
you would have. Don't believe in "the clean plate club." At the same
time, don't deprive yourself of stuff, like say, a dessert. Don't
snack between meals-- especially, try to document what you eat... and
don't just say, carry a bag of something around, like chips. Stick to
the three meals a day-- with one mid-meal fixed snack if you need it.
But fixed portions all, total amount.
resp:88 again, the inches count more than the pounds in the long run.
Muscle weighs more than fat.
re: the water thing-- it can't hurt to drink a glass of water at every
meal.

I haven't really changed much in terms of dinner, we still eat the same thing,
though my portions are smaller. Lunch has changed from burger and fries to
a turkey sandwich from Subway. I love black olives and lots of vinegar, so
I really enjoy my lunch. I've never been one that has to have something sweet,
though I do enjoy the occasional dessert. Dessert these days is this wonderful
honey cake that's delicious, and low in cals made of rye. Courtesy Trader
Joe's. If I'm realy hungry, a snack woyld be Wisecrackers from Trader Joe's
again
Today's workout was shorter than normal because of a ticket that caused me
to get to the gym late, and piano class which caused me to leave early. My
aerobic workout was cut in half. Weight was te normal, except I didn't get
the time to do the calves and triceps, as the machines were busy and I had
to get to class. I guess I can give myself a break, considering I've been
really religious about the gym. I was thinking of skipping it rather than have
a less than complete workout, but in the end I rationalised that getting any
workout at all was better than breakin the rhythm that would most prolly send
me into a spiral of more missed workouts.

No thanks.
157 this morning. Pretty encouraging, even though it may be a
fluctuation. Will weigh myself at the same scale I used a week ago at
the gym.

gripes... weigh yourself weekly if that's what it takes to forget the
day-to-day variations that don't matter so much. (Just a thought)

Heh :)
Work out was good. On the cross trainer it seems that the more the resistance
is and the slower the speed, the more calories that are burned. It made more
sun to go at it slowly with a high resistance and then speed up when the
desired heart rate was reached.
Also found an aerobic achine that works on the hands instead of the legs. And
excellent way to give my legs a break while still keeping the heart rate up.
Finally sampled my 5 grain low-fat bread. I really liked it. Had it with a
tuna burger. Very satisfying with ome lemon juice on it. Also had some miso
soup, and a slice of the honey cake.

Although, if you weigh yourself weekly, you get a random sample of day to day
variations.

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).
