Monday Morning Weigh Ins

So I missed last week....and I am back this week....and did not weigh last night...I was too lazy and not excited....its not as much fun to weigh when you are not losing anymore....and even less fun when you are gaing...my weight this morning was 180.4 but ish and I am always a few pounds heavier at night....so I will say I am still 185 and go from there.  (same story as last week) Lol  I only had protein powder mixed in yougurt yesterday trying to break this carb cycle but not doing so well..........this is a journey and not a destination for sure.........

Hi  -
It's been forever since I've been on here.... and it's taking it's toll.  I feel like I'm gaining weight by the minute.... my jeans are starting to feel tight and I hate that feeling. Sooo.... I finally step on the scale and sure enough I have gained 8 pounds..... that is 8 pounds over my range. i feel most comfortable between 148 and 153..... Sunday I weighed in at 160 !!!!!! I'm really freaked out.  I'm trying to figure out where i'm going wrong. I started tracking again and watching out for the junk food.
I can eat anything and everything.... regardless if it makes me feel like crap.... it's like i'm back to my addictive eating behavior.
I really don't excercise - so i'm thinking that it has caught up to me and I really need to start doing something. I started walking yesterday and would like to keep it up.  I hate feeling like this and I start to see myself spiraling down the wrong road.

is it really possible to gain 8 pounds in 2 weeks???  Has anyone here gained 10pounds over their limit and was able to get it back off?? What if I can't lose it and I keep gaining?? Help!! - see i'm really starting to freak out.

When I check my Bmi i'm still in the normal range.... I can go up to 164 and still be normal for my height, but I feel soooo gross  - I need to get back to 150.

Anyway.... sorry for letting out a big rant.... I think i need to come back and be more accountable for my eating. sooo.. here are my #'s and I'm back with you ladies -

Hi Martha:

I don't think it is possible to gain 10 pounds of fat in two weeks....I am williing to bet that a lot of it is water retention.  So don't freak out.......starting the walking is definitely going in the right direction. 

I can definitely relate to the addcitive eating behaviors..its crazy!  This journey is definitely more mental than anything else...and it is a life long journey that we have to stay mindful of every day.....

And I think the fact that you are modifying your routine is going to help a lot so keep up the walking and tracking what you eat and I think you will see the scales come back down.  And we are here for the rants!!

I have no advice, Marta...I can only commiserate. I seem to be struggling with late-night eating...my demon from my fat days. I could probably control it if I could only force myself to go to bed sooner than I do. But, for some inexplicable reason, there is some side of me that wants to stay up late so that I have the opportunity to eat. That sounds totally crazy, doesn't it? I have been lucky so far to not have a huge gain, but it is just around the corner if I don't get this crap under control. Why can't this be easier??

Hey Suz...I guess I am crazy too!! I think at times if I would just go to bed earlier I would do so much better with my eating...but I there seems to be a side of me that desires to stay up so that I can eat!  And when you get the answer to why this can't be easier...please let me know. LOL

Marta-
I'm over now and struggling to get back down-
but wanted to let you know I went 12 pounds over goal previously and then was able to lose it and get down even lower...
just wanted you to know...

Hello all! I'm not pleased with the numbers to follow...but, I know some of it has to do with an overload of iron...things are sloowwwing down if you get my meaning. Man, I'm not liking this sluggish feeling inside, but I would hate to have to go back to laxatives for any reason. So, more roughage is on the menu!

Surgery/high: 251.5
Two weeks ago: 143.8
Today: 144.1 I don't like this number at all!!

Here's to hoping next week will yield a better result.

Hello friends-
It saddens me to post this- but it sounds like you will understand...
I have let myself go...
In Feb I weighed from 118-124
In March I weighed from 124-143
As of today I weigh 142...
In 6 weeks I gained 24 pounds and I can tell you a few are water weight and a few are med changes and the others are ALL wrong foods and WAY too much of them.
I totally spiraled out of control and just lost it and ate like I used to at over 250.  Steph- I agree this is a total journey.  Suz- late night is my worst time too- that's when I watch a movie and just gorge.
Marta- I hear you- I feel awful and was even avoiding going to the gym because I was so embarrassed to see people and have them see how fat I've gotten and so quickly.  I've been resorting to hiding at home and declining social events...
It scares the you know what out of me at how quickly I could put it all back on...
The good news is- I ate better yesterday ( but then blew it at bedtime- BAD)...
Started off today better and even went to the gym- now I'm going to finish today strong and take each day at a time.  I told myself I wouldn't start going to the gym, socializing- whatever until I lost some of the weight- WELL THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I GOT FAT!!!
SO____ NO MORE!!!
I'm dealing and moving on!!!
My BMI is still in the normal range- so that is good- but nothing I own fits me- other than elastic pants- which I am living in...
118 was too low for me at 5"6"- although I think I may be small boned...
I think 125-130 is a pretty good range for me, but I will be thrilled to hit 135.  I am doing baby steps because when I look at the whole picture I get too overwhelmed...

HANG IN THERE EVERYONE!!!
Thanks for being here for support and accountability...
see you Monday...

Hi Brit:

Thanks so much for posting this!  You don't know how much this is helping me and I am sure others!  I know how hard it to deal with this..but to post it and put in writing is even harder...but I think the acknowledgement is one of the things that helps to put me back on track.  Sounds like you are making the right steps to get things together and just don't give up!! We both know how to work out tools to get the results...but it is not easy at all.  The mental part of this journey is the hardest thing....dealing with your own thoughts and emotions and then having to deal with outside ppl and their thoughts and comments.....I will be in prayer with you and please know that I totally understand. 

((Hugs))

Stephanie

Thanks so much Steph!!!
Yesterday was great and today was good so far too- I have to be very conscious and diligent- guess it will always be that way...
see you monday!!!  :)
