I weigh myself at the same time everyday, and record a "number" weekly
(Wednesdays). Today it was acting very screwy-- first it said 114.4,
then 114, then 113.2, then 113.6, all in the span of 5 minutes or so
(all I wanted to do was double check the reading, but then it kept

The best thing about ASD for me is reading people's personal stories. It is

every meal - chicken breast, crumbed fish, eggs, baked beans, some cheese,

Anyone have any opinions of Taking Off Pounds Sensibly?
I'm a newly elected co-leader of a group, and I'm always looking for

(Ponderal Index) had my body fat at three times the other (waist
-weight).
What gives? Anyone aware of these methods?

Went to the gym with DH in the late morning, then out to an Indian
buffet, then to my wine group in the evening.  Ate far too much :-).
Seriously, I'd decided to allow myself a splurge, as I'd eaten
modestly for several days and my weight is at the low end of my range,

What a great group!!  So much dedication, intelligence, humor, and
humaneness all in one place!
I need to lose at least 40 pounds for my brother's wedding in July. I'd like
to lose 60 but I'm not sure that's possible.  I'm female, 5'4" and currently

Looking for support here.
The morning workout started out well enough -- I walked a mile, then started
doing the weight machines.  Then I just lost all will to be at the gym.  All
I could think about was getting home to eat lunch.  So I came home and ate
