Monday Morning Weigh

Good Morning All! Hope you had good weeks and I will chat with you soon! My weight is up AGAIN....and I have to get the scale moving in the right direction and get it to stay that way and I will!! See ya next week. HW 327 SW 322 LW 155.2 CW 159 Gained 3.8

You'll do it Steph! You seem to use a couple of slow weeks like a motivator and then you pull out a crazy 5-8 pound loss! Good luck!!! I am having some swelling, three weeks later, from my surgery, so I am not going to screw with my head by putting one toe on the scales right now! lol! Maybe next week, fingers crossed, it'll be gone and I can finally post a weight! Belle

Thanks Belle, The problem with that is that the big loss seems to go and then come back and find me....I am sure it has something to do with lemon creme cookies and hard candy laying around at work that kept falling in my mouth last week...lol I have been devouring here lately...but I am back on track and hope to stay there. Thanks again Stephanie

Good Morning everyone! Steph like Belle said, you usually seem to lose a few lbs in a week, so I wouldn't worry too much. It could be that time of the month too! I still have sweliing, so I'm currently at 125. Can't wait untll this swelling goes down either! Have a great week everyone.

Thanks Janie....And glad to see you are feeling better! I know that it was no fun fighting off that infection from your surgery. Take Care Steph

Good Monday Morning January Lovelies! Just enough time for a drive-by today...TONS of studying to do. So, here's the numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 142.2 Today: 143 Gain/Loss: .8 Nothing exciting there! And don't worry too much Stephanie...you'll get that scale moving the way you want. Maybe it's water gain? Have a wonderful day, ladies ! ~Suz

Hey Suz! Have fun with all that studying!! And I would tend to believe the water weight gain had it not been for the package of lemon creme cookies that disappered from my house and my daughter only ate 3 of them.... and that was just the beginning of my week! This is a much better week for me though..lol Thanks for the encouragement.

Ahhhh!! The lemon creme cookies are the devil! My downfall is flourless chocolate torte...I .must.stay.away. I am toying with the idea of the 5 day pouch test just as a way to break the carb addiction...it could be worse, but I'd like to catch it before it gets any worse !

Girl, don't I know they are the devil!! but I was so craving them last week and could not get enough of them! And I still want them but I refuse to buy anymore...at least not until my birthday in August..lol Maybe I will have forgotten about them by then. And I have used the 5 day pouch test twice before and Did really well with it...but it seems that my carb carvings come back even stronger after I complete the 5 days....My body is so weird like that...but let me know if you try and it what you think of it. Talk to you soon. Steph

Suzanne, I am in the same boat. I have been the same weight for 2 months. Weighing between 180-185. So I read something about the 5 day pouch test. Yes it worked. Got me off carbs. I was n't loosing. Now on my 5th day- I am down 178. Yea it is moving. I also started going to a support grp which helped me to get focused again. I have problems with cookies and candy being around the house and work. Husband said to stop bringing those items home. We everyone in the house likes that stuff and are very skinny. So we will see what happens. I have had no carbs this week and have dropped 2 pounds. So I am an advocate of the 5 day pouch test. It was a chanllenge but worth it. STAY AWAY FROM CARBS. REMEMBER PROTEIN FIRST. PROTEIN.
