Failure to Lose Weight ~ An Open Enquiry to NLN

(and as we all know, it's not the sylph-like NLN who's failed to lose weight)

Following on from our conversation last Saturday morning, during which we touched on portion control, I decided to weigh my tea last night, which was plated up ready for me when I returned from my hilly road 6 at about 9:00.

I weighed it on the plate and then weighed the plate after I had finished. A simple subtraction indicted that the meal had weighed 0.79Kg (1lb 12oz in old money). Is this a sensible amount for a growing lad?

The meal consisted mostly of sausage meat pie with the addition of tinned plum tomatoes and carrots.
