I have my own very basic scale; I listen to my iPod shuffle (!) full of only fast songs that I really like when I'm on the elliptical, myself. Do you weight train? Resistance exercise is really important for building lean muscle. I have done the Nautilus circuit at my gym for years, and have recently started letting Jillian Michaels kick my butt on exercise TV -- combination weights/cardio/abs, and really hard. Also brushing my teeth when I feel like having a snack but I'm not really hungry, just tempted. Good luck, man. Thursday is my weigh-in day and I think/hope/pray I'll have a better update to post this week. Hey Vinny — no technology tricks here.

When I need to lose a few (or more) I eat off of a smaller plate. Silly, but my brain is pretty stupid. Using a dessert or salad plate for my dinner/lunch/breakfast tricks me into eating less. . . and I'm usually quite full. You are SO not alone in this, sir. Vinny – don’t know if this will help.
