I went out and bought a new scale yesterday as I'm losing hope with mine. It's a Tanita with body fat and water monitors. I think it's last year's model as I can't find it on their website. It was easy to set up and I stepped on it and then my old one. My old one only weighs in 1/2 pound increments and the new one in 1/5 pound increments. They were actually fairly consistent. So this is a new game I play, try the new one, then the old one. This morning the new one showed me having a loss for the week of 4/5 pound (hey, I'll take any loss!) and the old one showed a gain of 1/2 pound. That's nearly 1.5 lbs difference!

I also picked up a Salter food scale. It's something I've been toying with getting for sometime. I've never been good at portion control and I think it's part of what's been slowing down my weight loss lately. I've been lying to myself about eating one portion of lean meat, when in reality it has probably been closer to two-three portions. And I know even my cereal serving has been creeping upward in size.

Hope everyone had a good long weekend... I just wish I would have done something fun rather than be at home lazy the whole time. Maybe the next time a holiday rolls around I can make a plan!
