Last week, I gave my starting weight 144 because I thought the scale was a bit off- the scale read 142.8, so I rounded up a little. Anyway, I decided that I will just go with what the scale says each week (whether it's off or not) so I don't have to try to estimate, it will be easier in the long run. Anyway, today...141.8, down 1 pound- better than nothing and better than I thought after this past weekend. :o)

Breakfast:
1 cup egg substitutes
fat-free cheddar cheese
diced lean ham (about 1/8 cup)
1 banana

Snack:
Fat-free, sugar-free chocolate fudge pudding made with skim milk

Lunch:
Left-over ham from yesterday...not sure what kind of ham exactly it was, so I'm just going with 3 points on that
Left-over green bean casserole (1.5 points because there were the fried onions in it, but I used the 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup and skim milk when making)
Left-over Crustless Strawberry Pie (0 pts.) w/ Cool-Whip Free (0 pts.)

Didn't really want to start using points, but I figured that the leftovers needed to go... :o)

Walked- earned 3 activity points

Dinner:
Grilled chicken marinated in fat-free Italian dressing
Mixed veggies- squash, zucchini, fresh green beans, onions & snow peas
1 baked potato w/ fat-free butter/margarine

I figure as long as I'm using the same scale on a daily basis, it will at least give me an accurate picture of my progress.

Thats what I go with, what my scale says....If I weigh at Mike's office, the scale is always about 10lbs more!! Not sure what is up with that. Maybe because it's at night usually, I've got clothes on.....we all know it's better to weigh nekked...HEHE!!
