Week 5 - 'golly gosh' :) time just seems to fly. As much as I enjoy eating the FTS way, cravings just want to linger. All I imagined this week was a huge bowl of fettucini cabonara. Yum. Please don't tell me to substitute with zuccini - I would rather just skip it. How accurate are scales anyway? I weighed myself this morning about same usual time and had lost some weight, but when weighed myself about 3 hours later (no food or drink in intervening time) just before my shower I hopped on and it dropped down a significant amount. (joyous) Disbelief. Hopped off then on and up it went. Poo! Decided to disregard that effort and went with the earlier (smaller) loss - I figured if it was more it can catch up to me next week.
Well here we go - ta dah - another 2lb is consigned to the universe to find a new home.
A total of 13lbs donated in a good cause. :D

Hi Morgan, Miracle Noodles are a great substitute for your old "never gonna eat again pasta" :o
Your body fluctuates all the time, just weigh yourself once per week or even 2, same time each week. Don't get hung up on a numer your clothes will tell you what's going on ;)

I like tofu as a pasta substitute. Sometimes I cut it like macaroni for Doug's WONDERFUL Macafoney and Cheese and sometimes I cut it into flatter, noodle-like shapes. The only thing is that it doesn't absorb liquid so you have to add less liquid or cook it a LOT longer to thicken the sauce - easier to use less liquid.
My (spring) scales used to bounce up and down like that until I got a Taylor digital scale that Tony (mouseissue) recommended. Now they show the same weight even if I change something - like taking off or putting on clothes between weighings! Congrats on the 2 pounds!!!
