Weighing everything - pleasantly surprised so far!

I will admit I haven't weighed everything in grams on a food scale during the first part of my weight loss journey. I lost 104 lbs (and counting!) by weighing some things, using cups/measuring spoons, eyeballing and estimating, picking "close enough" database entries ... but I had a lot to lose and a good sized deficit so it still worked. Now that my progress has slowed and I am getting closer to my goal, I know I need to tighten up.
So I have been weighing everything for a couple days now ... I haven't found any of my packaged goods that are too far off. And a few things I have been short-changing myself on! I can eat even more lunch meat and Greek yogurt in a serving than I thought! Lol
Sadly, though, my dill pickles turned out to be about 2 servings per pickle. Seriously, who eats half a pickle?? ;-)
