Hi-
Hi Sara!
I think the National W L Registry also found that at least weekly weighing is important. I went back to one of the articles cited (don't ask me- it was a while ago) in a book supporting this idea. The study had people weighing and reporting their weight weekly, or getting a pamphlet or some such weekly from the researchers. So I think it is not just the weighing- but being accountable that also helps some people. I weigh daily and tried being part of the weekly thread here, but for me it was not important. Being on the site and posting often is enough accountability for me- and it is important to my maintaining. It keeps CALP a priority and a daily part of my life in ways that transcend just food choices- does that make sense?
I think the 4 guidelines posted are true, at least for me.

About the food variety- it is a research finding that more food choice/selection is correlated with higher caloric intake. Again, YMMV. I limit my morning meal to the same everyday- I think it helps.

COOL JUDY about your post and his reply!!
