I just had my first "good" meal in a while.. yum 3 eggs w/2 slices of ham and 2 slices of yellow american I guess I was REALLY hungry.  I had 2 slices of turkey at like 2:30am last night and just had 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of turkey w/provolone for dinner.

Hi Catje! I hope the scale is responsive, and if not, please give it more time.  Our stubborn bodies can be difficult. Try hard to look at it as "numbers" - do not assign a lot of focus on them.  You are doing this yes, to lose weight, but most of all to be healthy and teach yourself new habits that will pay off over time. Today:  35 mile bike ride with DD! We rode at a steady pace, not real fast not many stops for about 3.5 - 4 hours. We started out with a hippy dippy energy bar thing - made with whole grains and apple. and good coffee.  At the first rest stop, about 7 miles in, I had 1/2 large whole grain muffin + 1 c 100% juice water, water, water and some watered down gatrorade Post ride lunch:  1/2 c pasta + 1 c cuke salad (in vinegar)+ 1 ounce chew bread w/butter + 1 hoemstyle ginger ale + 1 large veggie tamale in green sauce + 1-2 c lite dressed salad + 1 c starwberries + 1 small ice cream bar Supper:  crab cakes, salad, rice, probably!

B:  whole grain cereal with 1/2 c FF milk       blueberries S:  hard boiled egg       FF plain yogurt L:  2 WW flat outs       17 pieces LF turkey pepperoni       2 oz low salt turkey       2 oz LF swiss cheese       2 Tbsp hummus S:  17 pieces LF turkey pepperoni       2 mini cupcakes D:  bunless turkey burger with mushrooms, onions, salsa       Greek salad (very little dressing) S:   FF yogurt/SF jello dessert 1486 calories, 30 points

I stuck to my plan todat but it wasn't easy. We had one of my favorite meals for dinner, homemade meatloaf and mashed potatoes with green beans. Yum. but I measured everything and stuck to the plan.
