Oh no - you know it's very dangerous when we start deferring to Mary. It's like deferring to the Marquis de Sade.

Oops. maybe I am too easy. Just noticed that your first weigh-in on new scale was not a morning weigh-in. Should be a morning to morning comparison. Did you weigh the next morning on the new scale? Could that be a starting point? If not, maybe just deduct 2 for a 4.5 loss so far and go from there.
The voice of authority?

RobHol said:Don't know if I am on the EC or not, Karlynn, but if I am reading this correctly, you weighed 159 on the new scale, and now 152.5 on the new scale -- so you should credit yourself with a 6.5 pound weight loss!
I agree, it sounds like 6.5 to me too!!!! Way to go!!!!!

I think I'll go with 4.5. It's probably more truthful.
Oh, and I shaved my legs too - that probably accounted for the additional .5 loss!!!!

Challenge: Today, we'll have daughter and her family over and wife will make gobs of sour cream dip to go with chips. I can't eat one bite of that! I am a chipaholic. If I have only one bite, then later when company has gone, I will be in kitchen shoveling in all that's left and eating all of chips. I will pretend I have some, then secretly throw away the leftovers late tonight.
Excellent work Bob!! And COOKER!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!
It's 8:30 am Pacific and hubby is still sleeping (he needs it) so I'll have to weigh in later. Just wanted to chime in as today will be busy and I likely will have to just weigh in tomorrow.
I, too am a chipaholic. I have been known to wolf down an entire bag of Kettle chips at one sitting. Lately (since I do all the grocer shopping) if I just can't avoid buying a bag at the store (hey...I deserve it....blah blah blah...gotta have a few......type self-talk) I open them up at home, pour out a bowl full and toss the rest of them in the garbage! (or, of course, just buy one lunch -size bag of chips). For me, the key is to give in to the urge once in awhile, or it will bring me down.
I also am a rummaging after meals kind of gal as I clean up after the meal. Mmmm. one extra bite of macaroni.....scrape, scrape, scrape....yum. No more. I'm fixating on that garbage can or sink disposal. In it goes.
I am trying to serve myself up more vegetables and smaller pieces of meat.
When I go to a restaurant (which we do at least once a week, now, with the kids gone) Before I dig in, I kind of summarize what I will eat, and what I will leave and what I will bring home in a doggie bag. I generally try to bring home at least one third, if not one half.
Keep up the good work, everyone!!!!
Cooker often leaves us with a quote. I've been tossing this quote at my kids when they have a break-up with a relationship.....but, in fact, it works well for my relationship with food as I know I'm going to figure this whole thing out and find a way to live it without thinking too hard. Alan Parsons Project (way back there!)....

Well, it BETTER slow down, or this time next year, you will weigh minus-92 pounds!
Okay, okay, you took the doughnut challenge, and passed -- Well done!

oooooooh, a monkey woman
I knew we had something in common 
Original Weight 255 (If I remember correctly).
Monday's Weight 253
That would have been better except for Sunday's pancakes & sausage for breakfast, ribs for lunch, steak & pumpkin pie for dinner. (actually invited out for three separate meals on Sunday). I don't plan on doing that again for a long time!

Our lunch today -(for the holiday)
Filet
fresh green beans
sweet potato fries.
The fries were very tasty and very healthy - lots of fiber in sweet potatoes.
2 lb of sweet potatoes skinned and cut into 1/2" sticks.
Put in bowl (or ziplock bag is easier) and add 1 tsp canola oil, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and 1 tsp chili seasoning. Mix until sticks are coated well.
Spread in one layer on a greased (Pam) cookie sheet and place in a 400 oven
Cook for 35 - 40 minutes, flipping 1/2 way through the time.

The Madame Marquis de Sade checking in . . .
I would calculate the difference from the first weigh-in on the new scale to this morning's weigh-in on the new scale.
Whatever weight difference there is should be resolved with next Monday morning's weigh-in.
And by the weigh (get it?
), I dreamed last night that I visited Bonnie and she was skinny as a RAIL! Like about 115 pounds of RAIL! I thought, boy, this diet is really working for Bonnie! Now let's see if she read this . . . . !
Congrats to all of my fellow dieters who have posted today.. We did GREAT.. Week 3 will probably be a little harder...But, I went back to grocery store and bought more diet type foods...to stay on track.....I have noticed..I am less hungry?...Only the 3 P.M. slump...but I can drink water..seems to get me dinner time..We eat around 6 P.M...so not bad...I am very pleased with myself That 1 lb a week will get me down slowly..but better than not losing at all...I am walking a little more..karlynn, you are lucky to be so young that your muscles don't hurt..like it would..if I did a threadmill.....But whatever works for one..keep doing it. ......Me, I am counting calories..trying to keep daily at 1,500................Bonnie

Labor Day cookout was a battle! I ate three Nathan's hot dogs -- I was the grillmaster so kinda hard to refrain BUT I ate them plain, without buns. My granddaughter made some mac and cheese herself, so I had to eat some of that. I passed on my wife's sweet potato casserole because I know it was loaded with sugar. My son in law polishes that off anyway. And I ate some lima beans. Passed on the chocolate chip cookies.
Biggest thing so far -- I have had only 3 potato chips and no dip! But the company has gone and it's all here, crying out to me! Help, guys, I need strength! I haven't done too badly but I could take in a month's calories with that dip and those wonderful chips! Ummmmmmmm! Oh dear, real test....

Good idea. It's getting dark now, so Sadie and I will take ourselves down to the basement where I can ride the exercise bike and throw her the ball and maybe I can forget about the tons of food around this house.
