so dissapointed I just wanna cry!!

Thanks Stephanie. I'll look for the chart. A friend of mine said the same thing, but its frustrating when it happens!! Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprized next Monday!! Mary

Mary: It will not let post my chart on this website..... Sorry I will keep working on posting the chart and let you know if I am successful..

Hi Mary - I have to agree w/ everyone else, it doesn't look like you doing anything wrong. I would maybe increase your protein and reduce alittle on the carbs. Also if you don't eat enough your body is going to hold onto anything it can. I know that last week I was very laxed on eating ( I didn't eat enough and actually skipped meals) and it showed on the scale this week as well. I didn't lose anything. i think that everyone once in awhile our bodies tend to go nuts on us...... Keep up the good work - 98 pounds is still an amazing amount of weight to lose. Marta

Thanks Marta, Its such a weird concept that I might actually not be eating enough!! Who would of thought theyd ever say that about ME!! LOL Mary

I just want to give you a big ol' hug. You are doing fine and as others have said, it is a normal thing to happen at some point. You WILL lose more weight. I bet by this time next week you will be in the century club. I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. You should be proud too. Concentrate on the 98lbs you lost, not the 5 you gained. It could have been many reasons for gaining. Was it that time of the month? I always gain at least 2lbs on the day of my period and then lose it in a few days. Maybe you need to increase your protein intake or fluids? How about exercise? Maybe you are building up some muscle which we all know is heavier than fat. You are doing the right things, just hang in there and you will be at 100 lost in no time. HUGS Crystal

Thanks Crystal! I probably do need to up my fluid intake. Thats a struggle for me. Im really gratful for the weight Ive lost, but its so frustrating to be so close and yet sooo far away!! I cant wait till Monday to see if Ive made it to the century club yet...but Im NOT getting on those scales until then!! Mary

Mary, This is a part of the process...don't let it get you down. ((((((((((HUGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSS)))))))))))))))))) Stay strong! You are doing everything right, but you can always try some of the suggestions mentioned, uping your protein, excersizing more, and stuff like that, but sooner or later it'll get worked out. I had a point a few months back where I had gained 4 or 6 lbs (can't remember exactly) in one day and it took me 2-3 weeks to get back down to where I was. It was discouraging to say the least, and I was teetering around 200lbs at the time and was really looking forward to hitting the 199 mark. Going through all of that took the fun out of reaching Onderland for me, so I know exactly how you feel being so close to that 100 lb milestone and having this happen. Again, don't feel like this is your fault, it's your silly body freaking out on you. More hugs.... Lori

Thanks Lori, sorry it happened to you too, but glad to hear Im not unusual! LOL. Youre right, its very discouraging. Mary

Mary, everyone is right this is just part of the process. I have done the same thing at least 3 times now. Don't worry you will keep losing. Keep the faith sister!!! ((((hugs)))) Anna

Thanks Anna. Imtrying to hang in there and not get too discouraged, but it sure is frustrating!! ARGH!! Mary
