If the goal is hard weight loss, you gotta have the scale and live by both weighing yourself AND your food.

Agree. Check out this video comparison of two complete daily allotments of food. They look nearly the same, but one contains nearly twice the calories of the other.

Unless you are working with processed foods, portion measurement can be difficult. I have a cheap digital food scale I bought at Target for less than $20 I think. Actually I think it was less than $10.

I'll make the assumption that you've set your loss goals to 1 or 2 pounds per week? Because you have very little to lose overall, I'd recommend setting your loss goal to 1/2 pound/week loss. Eat back 1/2 of your exercise calories (machines tend to exaggerate the calorie burn, or even better use an HRM for your cardio workouts). You'll get there! Patience is key!

I just want to say thank you to MM for posting this video!! I weigh all my foods and liquids when possible. I have never seen a stronger case for using a digital scale than THIS.
