Week 16 report - another gain! What's that all about?

good point, I tend to not lose as well if I eat the same things often, Lee

Sounds pretty basic.. but are you regularly eating the same things? doing
the same exercise?

I've found that I got to "shake up" my routine, even if I'm strictly on
program because my body seems to just refuse to respond to the same thing
over and over again..

OK. I'm getting worried.

* I have not gone off my diet at all.
* I have not been *tempted* to go off my diet.
* I continue to exercise every day.

But on a week-to-week basis I ended up *gaining* 0.2 kg = 0.4 lb this
week.

My weight did fluctuate between 110.2 kg and 109.6 kg all week. And even
yesterday morning's scale check showed 109.6. But this morning - my
"official" weigh-in day - I was at 110.4 kg. sigh

The week before people were suggesting that maybe I was eating too few
calories and getting into "starvation mode". So this week I judiciously
and slowly added back a few more calories. I still didn't go into the
bonus - I averaged 1714 calories per day for the week.

I definitely don't want to change my diet, but I feel like after two
weeks like this - I've only lost 0.6 kg = 1.3 lb all month so far! -
that maybe something is wrong. At my weight I should be dropping at
least 1 kg = 2.2 lb a week like clockwork. It's way too early at this
stage for things to be slowing down.

I don't want to turn to carbs again - I don't want to change my varied
and easy-to-stay on low-calorie diet at all really. But I wonder if
maybe sugars and carbs in my diet are slowing down the progress at all.

Or is that just nonsense?

I hesitate tweaking with my diet because I've finally found a routine
that is easy to stay on and provides great *variety*.

But I feel like this whole month has just been "lost time" weight-loss
wise and feel frustrated.

But I'm not going off my diet...

I feel your pain, my idea of cooking is: "I gave you the slice of cheese!!!
Now you want ME to remove the plastic and give you bread!!!", Lee

Yes - I am definitely in an eating rut. But I only know how to cook
three things.

Seriously - last year I had to look up on the Internet how to boil an
egg. (not joking)

I got a DH that is a gourmet cook, Lee

Unfortunately my butt is 5,000 miles away from the nearest meeting room.

What I need are "cookbooks for one person". These "serves 4" or "serves
6" deals don't work for me!

and many of their recipes are marked "easy to prepare", Lee

You can do lots of things with a single chicken breast or small piece of
fish. Look at the WW web site message boards for ideas.

Thanks, Audrey. I'll take a look.

Riight. Recipes are written in this mysterious language that requires an
online translator, like "splay and whisk the cloves into leavened
brochettes that muriette around the cheese cloth."

I might as well be reading the description of a cricket match.

doug

true, Lee, not understanding much beyond, stir and set the micro...

It's not really that easy. The Georgia Egg Board has rather extensive
recommendations that I read in a Julia Child cookbook. In the past
there was an on-going saga in ASD of someone trying to get the perfect
boiled eggs.

I own a rather good cookbook with healthy recipes using rather
standard ingredients called "Healthy Cooking for Two" by Brenda
Shriver and Angela Shriver.
