Whew! So Much For Worrying!

The scale didn't move at all last week. I was starting to get really nervous, because everytime I've gotten a fill, I'd lose a few pounds within the first week/week and a half, then I'd either stay there or gain a few back until my next fill. I was so afraid the cycle was back and that I already hit another plateau.

Nope! I got on the scale this morning (fearing the worst - gaining) and I lost 4 more pounds! I'm down to 390 with 54 pounds lost. I have 15 pounds to go by Valentine's Day for the LBT challenge. I'm praying I can do it.

I've been eating more at my nightly dinners than I do any other time of the day. Lately I'd have either half of a Jimmy Dean Delight sandwich (130 calories) or a small yogurt smoothie (140 calories) for breakfast, I pack my own lunches in these little 1-cup Tupperwares, so I really control my portions for lunch - either 1 cup of something, or 1/2 cup of like meat/chicken and 3/4 cup soup, and if I have two things I spread them out about an hour apart, that way if I'm NOT hungry after my first item, I just don't eat the other. If I AM hungry, then at least enough time has passed that I know it's hunger and not just 'shove it down because it's there'. I still haven't been eating a LOT at dinner, but much more than I eat at breakfast or lunch.

At least my plan seems to be working, though. I really want to keep this up!
