First thing in the morning. Or same time every day.  

Agreed, I weigh in right after my first time going potty.... 

what types of food do you like? Do you like fruit? What type of protein other than fish do you like? Do you like nuts/seeds? What types of veggies do you like? What types of starches do you like? 

I like all types of food and can cook most of it too. I cook most of my food, rarely eat out. Not a baker though I do have a sweet tooth. I like all proteins (beef, chicken, tofu, quinoa, greens, beans, almost all nuts). I like them all. I've eaten and tried all seeds; chia, flax, sesame to name a few. I like all veggies too except I do not like olives but will eat them (I use olive oil). Starches, of course, I grew up with rice so if and when I have to have it I try to eat brown, black and red and mix it with regular or red quinoa, but when white rice is there, I eat it (I have a teenager that has to have it). I will try to get her to get use to the brown because I need to stick to not giving in and buying the white. I rarely eat pasta or make it, but when I do I do use whole grain and sometimes mix half and half (I do have kids and a budget) so sometimes it's not easy. Rice noodles and noodles in general is a huge staple in the oriental cuisine and I sometimes struggle with that (I love my homemade pho). I've done the juicing, even used organic spirulina and green tea powder. I use herbs. Grow my own garden (small garden). Can't wait to harvest my beets. What ever it is I have tried it all (I believe). I know what to do and eat, I just need to stick to it and give myself that strict diet. I will not limit myself too much on what I can eat because I don't want to crash. My food log lately hasn't all been good. I LOVE FOOD (tasty, flavorful and spicy).  

Forgot to mention: We always have fruit and vegetables in the house. I have little ones so I buy for them, bananas, apples; seasonal fruit (they are cheaper in season) cherries, mangoes, peaches/nectarines, pomegranates (my favorite, but expensive), berries and more. Veggies, I eat them all. I just need to eat more raw veggies/foods. Without them, I'd feel dry.  

Ohhh man! I love Pho. I haven't had it for so long. I agree, don't limit yourself or you will just find yourself wanting those foods more. Have just a little bit of the stuff you know isn't that good for you and eat a bunch of veggies/salad/healthy stuff with it! 

Oh Yes! Thanks ammittai. I am doing just that. 

i think you should weigh yourself the first time after a week on the plan. i weigh myself often, but only enter it once a week. there are a lot of daily variations. i also weigh myself first thing in the morning after i pee. 

Yes, Gnewfry. I plan to do that. Thanks. 

Hi Curious, I think weigh in at least once a week. :)
