Body weight

I should probably start including my body weight in some of these posts.  Ideally I'll see about a pound a week increase.  If not, I need to increase calories.  It's somewhat difficult to accurately gauge weight gain on a day-to-day basis since so many factors come into play that cause weight to fluctuate.  So, I try to weigh myself 4-5 times a week, keep as many variables constant as I can, and track an approximate average in my head.  When I started this in early November, I was around 171 lbs.  Right now my mental average has me at about 172.5-173 lbs.  That's a little slow, so if I don't see a jump in the next week, I'll probably bump up my daily caloric intake by 200.
