Well, this is what I have learned.  It isn't for everyone but it makes me happy.  I keep track of my water intake, my food intake and my weight.  I know how much my clothes weigh, too.  Yeah, they may be a total of 4 or 5 lbs, but it makes me happy to know where I am.

Right now I am at 221.8 this morning.  I try to weigh in the morning but sometimes I don't get to.  That's a low.  If I weigh fully dressed after I eat and drink in the afternoon, it is plus 4 or 5 lbs, so I always subtract.

When I had my period, I didn't really lose ANYTHING.  I reminded myself that this always happens, and for some reason my body just holds on to some weight like it was gold.  I reassured myself that when my period was over, I would lose something.  It was hard because for 2 weeks the needle didn't move on the scale!

Then the last day came and by a miracle I dropped 4 lbs.  I don't know why I do this, but before I had gotten discouraged and stopped with my efforts and fell off the wagon and didn't come back.  This time I acted like nothing was going wrong and knew I was still losing and my body was LYING!  So, yea!  Paid off.

I hope to be entering the teen range soon then finally after 4 years into onederland.  That would be so fantastic!

I have also noticed that the excersize isn't really doing anything to lose weight (unless I kill myself doing it and I don't always feel like doing that).  If I want to lose I have to eat less.  No way around it.  So, I am eating less and excersizing and that is working for now.  It is not hard excersize but I look toned which makes me happy.  Reduced food is the way to go.

Yaa!  Finally got it figured out for my body, and just before my 42th birthday!
