Week 5 - Confusing scales

[morgan]

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.

Hi Morgan, Miracle Noodles are a great substitute for your old "never gonna eat again pasta" 

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!!!
