Stop the Insanity

Hello family. I have been doing the plateau buster diet to try and loose 6 lbs before my plastic surgery at the end of this month. Well, I gained 2 lbs. So I intensified my workouts (5 days/week for an hour) and I gained 2 more lbs. Then I eased up on the plateau but still working out hard, and I gained 2 more lbs. All in 2 weeks. Now I only have 2 weeks left and need to loose 12 lbs. What the heck is going on. Why am I gaining in 2's? Why am I gaining at all? I'm about to have a breakdown!!! These 12 lbs are very important to me. Those 12 plus the 20 the plastic surgeon thinks he'll get off would put me at goal. Please help me!! Sharyn

HUGS SHARYN i know i want 10 lbs off me and i cant seem to budge the scale. ARE YOU NEAR TOM? i know with MY LAST tom I BLOATED UP 5 LBS!!!! IT KEPT CREEPING UP IN 2'S! good luck hugsssssssssssss

Hey Lisa I'm still a week away from my TOM. But if that's it, I will be relieved since I know it will come back off.

protein + excersize = muscle fact: muscle weighs more than fat lean muscle mass is no cause for alarm. I would say you are ok and don't sweat it. They are gonna pull you so tight girl that you'll be beggin to make room in your skin! LOL! You will do great. Relax and good job on the protein, it will help you heal after surgery. Keep me updated though so we know how you are and also I want the gory details so I know what to expect. I don't think it will be too much longer before I have to have my hernia tt done either.

Hi Wendy my love I'm trying to relax. Maybe I should get a massage. Right now I have shoulder and back knots and a tension headache. I will keep you updated on my PS. I'll even send you some nasty pictures when I get some. Love ya Lots Sharyn

That would be lovely! I will send you mine too when time comes!! Wendy

The week before is wehn i bloat up from TOM!!!!! I hope its just that. I have backed off scale watching cuase it makes me depressed. HANG in there hugzzzzzzzzz

That's a good idea. I called my house on my way home today and told them to hide the scale.

I can't help you with any ideas, but could you please tell me what the Plateau buster diet is? I haven't been on this forum for a few months and so I might have missed it. Thanks, so much. I definitely need a plateau buster....been eating too much junk. Mari

Hi Mari J I emailed it to you.
