I guess nobody bothered to tell me or I "missed" it in the books and pamphlets . . . but you move from measuring food in terms of spoons to weight when you graduate from pureed stage?  I'm learning that you can't just eyeball it, or at least I can't.  I don't have a clue at this stage what is 1 oz. or 100 ozs.    
So do most folks use a scale in the beginning to make sure they eat/count the correct amounts or am I just ditzy???  If so, would you recommend a brand/type of scale over another???

I still measure when I can. I have an old WW scale that I use. When I eyeball it and then measure it is amazing how wrong I am....

I still measure. I do WW and count points... otherwise I realize that I go way overboard with calories and portion sizes.

I'm really bad about measuring, I usually calculate less than what I think I'm measuring. Sometimes like with soup, I pour what I think is 3/4 cup and then pour that into a measuring cup and it's less.  I should really get a scale. I'll be watching your posts for replies.

I can't remember weighing stuff, but I must have.  I have a great scale, a Pelouze postal scale.  I used to do alot of ebay selling, so I bought it for that, but it is very accurate for weighing food.
