Is it just me or has anyone else who's started weighing food out finding that 'a portion' of cereal is really teeny? I'd pour out 1.5-2 times as much if i was guessing what a portion looked like.

Same here!

I just have as must as I need when it comes to breakfast cereals as it has a great calorie vs. ability to stop me feeling hungry balance and count the extra calories.
My 200 calorie giant bowl of porridge at about 9am keeps me going past 1pm:cool:

200 calories is a fairly modest breakfast, I wouldn't suggest eating fewer calories than that!

Noooo Dragon - not possible. Demand to go back on the scales and prove the first reading was completely wrong!
I have my start weight for feb I didn't lose anything last week BUT I didn't gain either which is good because I had those two bad nights worrying about the OH - and he proves me wrong to worry by going and getting 3 job interviews this week! All permanent jobs! Everything is crossed at the mo
I'm flitting between this board and the occasions board - really need to find cheap yet thoughtful ideas to make for valentines.... otherwise he's just getting his favourite krispy cakes made for him!

re breakfast cereal: I've always thought it was a swizz for calories: I find commercial cereal actually seems to be enough to act as an appetiser without being very filling...so it actually makes me hungry when I wouldn't normally be even if I hadn't eaten anything! Porridge is a winner, or egg on toast or spinach: frankly I even find a banana better. Another winner for me is trying to get at least one of my five a day in at breakfast time. I love grapefruit& orange juice, but fr me its a bit like cereal, too many calories for the satisfaction. And I can find citrus fruit a bit...aggressive first thing in the morning BUT I have found that tinned mixed grapefruit and orange segments in juice (I think thats 65 cals per half can?) hits a spot for me. It is bulkier than cereal, its fresh, its quicker to prepare than raw fruit. Some fibre rish cereal can be added if required, and some how a desert spoon to make a sort of light breakfast crumble is more satisfying than 30g in a bowl with milk....

I'll weigh what I actually have next time but I'm sure I have a lot more than 30g.

Some are 45 gram servings....you have to read the labeling. Either feels smallish, which, when you consider how much more than 30 g 45 grams is, is worrying!
