Re my gradual weight loss too -

Starting weight around Sept. 2005: 186
(have been usually in my life between 125 and 145, but got as high as 190 at some point, I think back when I was in landarch school and working too, eating for comfort).
Present weight, Oct 2008: +/- 151

You can tell I like slow weight change at my level of overweightness. I've bounced around before and would rather have the weight steady. My goal, should I accept it, would be in the low 140's - anything lower would be "gravy". But that will come with increased exercise. So, my real goal is not to just eat crap because it's easier.

Okay. I've had three days in a row of little bitty increases... .bear down day coming up.

Could it be that I ate the whole weekend?

Just the numbers
82/188.6/-11.5

I'm frustrated too Joe.

I tend to retain water (seriously, I take a diuretic).
I was fine for a while, then 2 or 3 days ago, my ring has gotten tight, and weight shot up 3 pounds.

It'll go down, just have to keep eating right. Drink more fluids

What is it?

yesterday -

breakfast scrambled 4 eggs, shared with Jillian.
Her and I made a joke and put some grape jelly into our eggs. So add about.. a teaspoon? maybe less.. grape jelly.

2 hot dogs

1 measured cup of quick oats

1 package of carrots

dinner-
about 1/2 of some kind of steak. Not really half.. about 4 bites. I just didnt like it.
some scalloped potatoes
and about 2 cups of collard greens. ohhhhh yum.

exercise/activity-
Painted the hall closet. Cleaned house.

Didn't get to eat breakfast. I had coffee though.
ate a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, water
petite sirloin, baked sweet potato and a salad w/sweet tea for supper.

water - about 80 oz. for the day.

shewolf, quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a South American grain - a little bigger than couscous, with a spiral shape when cooked and an interesting texture. One of the most unique things about it is that it is a complete protein.

I've bought it at Whole Foods and Central Market in the bulk bins. I found Inca Red Quinoa at my neighborhood HEB, but haven't cooked it yet.
