I gained two pounds!

I weighed myself this morning and there they were all those wonderful brown and serve rolls sitting nice and pretty on my hips. I thought for sure my scale was broken so I went to the pantry and grabbed a bag of sugar. I sat that sugar down on the scale and just like the package read 5 pounds ....ahhhh man I am so mad at myself

Corinna!!! Don't be so mad at yourself...it could be something simple as water retention? Are you weighing yourself everyday? You really shouldn't, NOT! I weigh myself almost everyday...more like every other day and Yeah I go down & then go back up a pound or two. I saw 198 on the scale on Friday and this morning I saw 199...guess how much it reads now? 200!! I thought I had made it into the ONEDERLANDS but I haven't OFFICIALLY. I know it'll happen, just gotta be patient. GIRL you are doing swell so don't even sweat it . Elisa

Thanks for the kind words Elisa you are such a sweetheart By the way you look amazing, I love the new pictures How the heck do I change my profile picture ????? xoxoxo Corinna

Thank you! I was just about to tell you how to change the picture & I see you already did! Yay! Great picture. Elisa

I can not figure out how to put a profile picture in or to put my before and after picture up. Right now I need to be able to feel good about my losses, I was so excited I finally got below 270 first time in over 20 yrs and then I went back up to 272 and I cant seem to get back down, I'm 8 mts out yesterday and have lost about 120 lbs. I'm having an awful time with the two me's I see in the mirror. 1. the My gosh I'm still fat look at this loose skin etc. and 2. the WOW do I look good. It really stresses me that I bounce back and forth between the two sometimes within minutes... ANY one else suffering from this or have any advice? Please!

Cathy, Congratulations on the 120 pound loss that is awesome I understand exactly how you feel looking into that mirror......I so wish that I could see what everyone else sees. As for advice I wish I could give you some but I am my biggest critic. I can not accept a compliment to save my life. I feel that in return for the compliment I need to point out ALL my flaws. Why do I continue to put myself down Oh wait....I think I can give you some advice on how to upload your pictures We would love to see your beautiful face I'm gonna email them to you "k" (((((group hug))))) Corinna

I think from reading the post most of us fluctuate around 3 to 5 pounds...i know i do and some days i feel like i weigh 1000000000 pounds and others i call my skinny days lol.....hang in there J

Thanks for the support I am so thankful for these boards, you are all so darn wonderful I'm glad to know that I am not going crazy all by myself xoxoxo Corinna

I think the others are correct and it's probably water. It could be what you ate had more salt than you're used to having. To gain 2 pounds, you would have had to have eaten 8,000 extra calories. My weight can bounce back and forth by as much as 5 lbs right before I start my period.

8,000 extra calories sounds about right I know it isn't my period that was so two weeks ago I took a water pill this morning and I am planning on drinking a lake today I haven't been drinking too much water lately so I know it is time to get back on track the honeymoon is almost over and I want to loose atleast another 30 pounds.....goodbye carbs.....I love you Thanks for the support You look amazing by the way xoxoxo Corinna
