No More Century Club

My weight has gone up to 200lbs. I am no longer a member of the century club. Between the bowel problems, this Cancer thing and now this, I am so stressed out I could scream. I just don't know why my weight is going up. For the last wee****pt my calories below 1100. I was constantly hungry, but I did it. I just don't know what to do. Nona

I am sorry for all of your complications. Stress can do strange things to our bodies. My scale has yet to move in any direction. Hope to see you get better! Rhonda

When do you get the results back about the breast thing? You said it already, you are way way stressed!!! I will send well wishes your way, for good test results and that the zelnorm kicks in and gives you some relief!!! If you are doing good, it is truly just your body reacting to stress!!! I feel so bad for you, I am here if you need anything! Take Care Jesi

Hi Nona I'm so sorry to hear of all of the stresses that you are going through. It's hard enough to be going through and struggeling with your weight loss journey to begin with, much less all of the additional stuff you have going on. I wish I had a miracle answer that could make it all better. Alls I have are suggestions.... maybe do a priority check and decide what has to come first... health, then emotions, then weight... or whatever else you feel needs to be in there and in what order- and then just take steps everyday to work on those things in that order. Maybe find an activity that relaxes you or that you enjoy that could give you some exercise OR just some relaxation. Make sure you get enough rest AND activity.... maybe come up with a new plan of action for your diet.... if your feeling hungry a lot maybe you need to eat MORE... maybe change WHAT you are eating instead of how much so that you can eat more? I know you have probably tried so much and it is frustrating. I'm sorry if I am of no help- just trying to think of anything that might help things. As long as you keep trying and working at getting what you want (to keep losing, to get better, etc) things will eventually move in a positive direction. Keep your spirits up and take care of you first. My thoughts and prayers will be with you- I will be hoping that you get better and that things start going the way you want them to. Lots of hugs and support Shawna

Thanks Shawna, Jesi and Rhonda. I'll try anything. I'm going to go back to what I was doing, 5 mini meals and I promise to exercise more often. I will start tonight. I don't get home until 6, but I made an extra dinner last night, so all I have to do is heat it up, so I will have the time tonight to spend a half an hour on the 'mill and 15 min on the weights, and if I can, I will go longer on the mill, knees willing. Thanks again you guys are truly 's with 's Nona

Nona, Stop making yourself crazy. You will bounce back to the "Century Club" very soon. This is a minor setback. Don't worry. You are a great loser with your WLS in my book.Life has so many setbacks. Look what I am going through. We are strong to us. CAN I HUG YOU? Lorraine

You bet your bippy you can hug me. And a great big back at you.. Thanks Nona

Nona, Can you feel the love girl? Keep up the good work. P.S. I am so bloated in my stomach from this hernia surgery, that I can't button my pants..... OH well Have a great day.....Lorraine

Nona, this is only a temporary setback and with all you have been through over the past few weeks the weight gain is all stress related and probably water retention too. You are taking the new medication right? That might have something to do with the gain as well. I'm sorry for everything you've been through lately; I know it's been rough on you and it's simply not fair. I'd share some of my 171 pound weight loss with you if I could, I really would even if it means more exercise at the gym for me. Hang in there. It's bound to get better. Can you try to smile a little just knowing that we are all here for you and rooting for you ? I know that doesn't cut it 100% but at least you have a super great DH too! Wishing you the best and hoping you get back to century club and beyond REAL SOON. Kim

Thanks to everyone's wonderful thoughts and comments. You guys are the best. Nona
