I've read that the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after you've went to the bathroom and before you eat and drink. I'm not sure if you do this already or if this is even correct, but I've just read that that's the best time to weigh yourself for an accurate reading? 

!! Also, you know what? It's good that you're starting to pay more attention. You won't be losing five pounds a week, but if you're putting effort into it, I'm sure you'll see some progress with time (or at least feel a bit better physically) 

I weigh myself after I have been up for a couple of hours and before eating. I will be happy with a pound loss as lo g as I am still losing. Thanks ford the input 

trust me you're going to lose weight. and don't be hard on yourself that weight that you lost is not all "water weight"  

It keeps me mindful, which I need to consciously start new weight loss eating habits. You'll get used to it. I used the DASH DIET FOR WEIGHT LOSS serving sizes, and met the required number of servings for all of the food groups, I didn't have to log it, but I had a mental checklist. I log it on this website as a positive reinforcer for the healthy choices I made after dinner. 

You're on the right track CoreenaK with the daily weighing, portion control and food tracking. Sometimes I plan my meals on the food-intake chart and see where to add, subtract protein, carbs, fibre and calories. I also make certain to keep plenty of broccoli, cauliflower, greens, frozen blueberries and other low-cal foods in the fridge and keep chips, cookies and muffins out. I use a DASH-type approach too with a strict eye on sodium 'cause excess salt really makes me retain fluid. My history doesn't show it but I weighed about 230 pounds when I started on Fat Secret two years ago. I've lost nearly 80 pounds by tracking, portion control and no starving. The past year I've maintained pretty well but I need to take off another 20. You can do this too.
