Congratulations!

Thanks to you and Chris for noticing. I laughed when I saw Chris
congratulate me: she works that whoosh fairy pretty hard herself!

A few days in and although im finding myself thinking about food im not
feeling hungry and sticking to breakfast, lunch and dinner and approx
2500 cals per day. Ive found a banana sorts me out when im feling hungry
so they will do fine for the odd snack when required.

Ive weighed my muesli and found a suitable sized coffee cup filled is
exactly 100grams of my muesli and thats how much i put in the bowl of a
morning. That will make it much easier in the morning by just filling
the cup. I just have to measure the milk now so I can round off my
breakfast to 500 cals.

I expect to make it through the weekend eating properly which will be an
achievement in itself.

Nice tweaking. A good attitude to adopt is the concept of adversity.
You *will* meet adversity. You *will* have challenges. The cool thing
is, you can knuckle down and face them and work through them and solve
them. That's the skill you were using when you figure out a way to
measure your muesli. Another person might have whined, "it's too hard
to tell!" :-)

Unlike Susan, I like bananas. I tend to eat my fruits with a bit of
protein, so I rarely have just a banana alone, but I think they're great
nutrients and very nice for keeping things moving, if you know what I
mean. One way we like to eat bananas is to slice a V out of the banana
and put peanut butter inside the groove. It's just a dite of
peanutbutter, but enough to make it stick to your ribs. (Another way to
look at it is it lowers the glycemic load of the meal.)

Thanks. I credit the power of Fitday. I've been logging all week.

And I love bananas I just think there are better places in my WOE for them
rather than a snack to tied ya over.

Well, I *did* tell him to plan some 300 calorie snacks, and he was
having them when he'd have had a snack anyway. I believe in progress,
not perfection (though I really think bananas are pretty perfect anyway.)

I always thought your goal was too low for a woman with significant
bones and muscle mass, (like me), but Imay have to set my goal lower
yet. My new lean body mass measurement suggested I might have to put
164 as my goal. (I really, really hate how my "perfect" goal weight is
perpetually ten pounds away, where the ten pounds in question are
sitting on my butt and thighs.)

It's funny how that works. I am also large boned, and still have a
good bit of muscle, but unfortunately it goes down as the fat does.
I'd never have thought I wanted to be this low, but it just seemed
right. I'm now thinking I don't really want to go back up to 145-150,
but haven't officially changed that as my goal range. It wouldn't
break my heart to be in that range, certainly.

average is 139. It may well be up after last night's dinner, but I
don't know that I'm likely to make it to the gym today, which is where
I weigh myself, so that's it for now.)
