    Here's a link if you want to read the study regarding people having varying reactions to the same foods. While they used continuous glucose monitoring, I wonder if it's possible to determine bad foods by using a regular glucose meter after a meal?

    I am checking in early because later today we go off for a 10 day vacation in Arizona. I have managed to scrape off two pounds & hope to not gain more than two while gone. We will be very active, but I know we will be eating a lot too! Balance, balance, balance!!!

  • Enjoy, Ruthbru!

    Have fun ruthbru! I'm up (but not reporting today) and hope moving a few boxes/bins and small bookcases today for loading onto a small truck tomorrow to take to DS plus a class this afternoon, will result in same or loss report tomorrow.

  • I'm 169 this morning, up a lb from yesterday but down 3 lbs from Mon. I have abstained from my evening cocktail for two days straight and so has dh. Yesterday I had lunch out and that was probably the reason I was up a lb. this morning. I had a wonderful salad with blue cheese dressing which is a little salty as well as high cal. I think I'm salt sensitive.

    Hope everyone has had a good week.

    I was down .9 yesterday but today I'm 129.9 so my official weigh in is down .6. I thought I was so good yesterday but salt may have gotten me too. At lunch I had a piece of restaurant chicken which probably had more salt than I would use.

    Up 1.5 to 134.5. Grrrrr. We need to get a new scale. Anyone have a recommendation for one that's not too expensive and is reliable. Yesterday our scale couldn't decide if I weighed 0.0 or 190. It has problems and we had just reset it.

    Stayed same at 165.6. My eating has been not the best and exercise not consistent so I'll take that.

    Wren44, I think if only you are using the scale then you don't have to spend a lot on one as it would be all relative to you. I can swear that my scale (Weight Watchers) gives me a different weight depending on whether I step on it with the left foot first (lower weight) or right foot on first (I'm heavier). I've been threatening to replace it also.

    Up slightly but am not too worried. ..I've been much more active and presume I'll be down next week if things go as they often do. I do need to eat just a bit less to get moving downward again.

    Congratulations to this week's losers!

    I had a Tanita scale and i felt it was very accurate. It weighed to the half pound and I decided I wanted one that looked better and weighed to the tenth of a poundso I bought a weight watchers and I get annoyed at it. I can get on the scale and it will be totally off. I have to weigh with something heavy to see it register a different weight then I get back on. At that point it seems close in comparison to the dr scale but I don't understand how it can be so off the first couple of times.

    I sometimes wonder about my ww scale as well. Seems like it might be 'remembering' previous days and is just lazy so gives me something it already reported. Yeah, I can make excuses for not losing Winking

    Yes, Patoo. It will weigh the same and I'll know I either ate little or I ate a lot and it can't be the same. I weigh three times every morning. Get on scale. Get off. Weigh with my makeup mirror. Get off. weigh again. It's always different and accurate the final weigh.

    Ok, as long as I go down or at least stay the same I'll take it but if I go up I will try your three strike method!

    Down 400 grams. But I will be overeating again tomorrow so it won't be down for long.

    Still on vacation. Moving a lot but eating a lot too. Scared to get on the scale!

  • wren44

    Stayed the same at 134.5. I'm sort of surprised it didn't go up. I bought ginger snaps at the store and should know better.

    I am down 2.3lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hubby and I are doing a low carb challenge. I hope I'll be able to sustain the loss and it's not just water.

    Good for you Two Hobbies! I lost a fair amount of weight doing low carb and have not gained it back.

    I lost snother 1.8 lbs. it looks like I can really recommend a very low carb diet. I didn't expect to lose much weight because I already reduce carbs but it's working. !

    Yay, twohobbies and ruthbru!

    Up 200 grams. Need to lose before going off on vacation. I will stop eating chocolates starting tomorrow. Yes, I will, even if they are good for me.
