Felici, are you weighing yourself at the same time each time? If not, you might get more consistent results doing that. I think the best time is right when you get up.
No. I haven't been doing that. I chose not to buy new scales, and to weigh myself away from home which makes it hard to weigh first thing in the morning the way I would usually. With scales in my house I have been known to do the thing where you weigh yourself 5 times a day and shift the scales around the house hunting for the best spot etc .... Not having them took a lot of angst out of the early days for me - but it also means I can't do the 5 day rolling average thing which I'm sure would be the most accurate measure.
Up till now I have been trying to measure the weight at a time which will still have other aspects that will affect it, staying fairly even from week to week. I'm not sure that this has happened lately though. I am certainly planning for next Thursday and Friday to be both high in roughage and high in activity. (Hopefully that is both sufficiently informative and sufficiently delicate).
*shudders* vegemite i heard about that stuff and i heard u can buy it here(states) in some places.. Ill pass on the shrooms.. But here in the house everyone loves them.. I just dont like eating fungus but other ppl probably wouldnt eat cow intestines..
Back to the vegemite oh i heard about the wonderful taste (laughs) but i suppose if u have grown up on it, u do aquire the taste for it..
Really vegemite is just salty. However, yes you can acquire a taste for it. Since I started this food plan, if I have a piece of toast I put jam (jelly) on it. (Except currently it's marmalade, because I accidently opened a jar of that instead of jam.) When I was eating more food though, if I ate 2 pieces of toast I would have one of jam and one of vegemite. In fact I would probably have 2 just so that I could make one of them vegemite! I am dinky di at heart.

You picked the one thing I could never manage there!
I eat offal (at least I did - not on my list these days). It's not the idea that puts me off - it is the smell and texture of tripe. Good luck to you with that one.
Mushroom Friendly Diary - try Mal's
I'm just a picky old thing - don't mind me!
It's kind of interesting to find out how many people are on your side here!
I had never really thought about mushroom as being a different type of organism to other edible plants, though of course it is.
The wieght gain could be muscle mass, might be time to change the calories to fit ur weight now.. my dietician said to weigh urself at the same time and do it in the morning after ur first morning urination.. My dietician said dont worry if there is a little weight gain its more then likely muscle mass once u start to work out and it seems ur on a good work out schedule..
Keep up the good work hun
Thanks Autumn. I do know that this might be a non-issue. Probably it is in fact. It's just that off hand I recall being more relaxed about my food lately and clearly remember a couple of over the top meals so I feel the need to check.
There have been a few times lately when I've thought that I really need to start counting calories now. My idea of the calories in my day has actually been very rough for most of the days so far. I don't want to change my food and just count them now - but will add on calorie counting to what I do. I don't think I have enough tools to be very scientific about how many calories I burn though - still I'm thinking this is worth a go. At the very least it will make me a bit more knowledgeable.
I don't really know if my exercise program is the kind that would have built much extra muscle in the last fortnight either. I suppose it could have because that is what I want - I just doubt I have been able to take it far enough for that to happen.
Whatever, I have some time so I will do some math with it today, and for the next week, so that I can deal with this in a more informed way. Having done that I will then probably forget about it till next Saturday.
