my weigh in today

I was so embarrased but I cried after they weighed me.  Their scales show a 5 lb gain from Tuesday.  I woke up very swollen this morning for some reason.  I tried to drink a bunch of water to flu**** out but that must have backfired on me.  They are putting me on a full fast.  If I can't get this done on May 21st then I will have to wait until labor day because of my work and school schedule.  I wanted to go pig out when i left there.  i didn't though.  I am scared I don't have it in my to do this.  i guess I really need this support meeting tonight.  They are leaving me penciled in for the 21st but if I don't lose 17 lbs then I don't get to have it.

Oh Amy, I am sorry...I know it's awful when you step on their scales and there is a gain (done that myself, twice!!). The water probably did it. However, you still have about three weeks till the 21st, and you have a very good chance of making it. Just follow what they told you to do 100%....it will come off, besides, the weight that showed on the scale this morning is most likely from the water, which means it will be gone pretty quick. I still think you can do it.....just focus and take it one day at at time -Hugs!!!  Anna

I'm sorry you had such a bad weigh in.  You've got 3 weeks and I know you can do it.  I know you said you drank a bunch of water, did you have something salty too?  Big hugs!  You can do it!

Hi Amy, Dont be so hard on yourself , Remember tomorrow is a new day! 5lbs gained today but maybe 10 gone next week. Keep the faith we are all pulling for you! You can do it! We know you can!  I did the same thing at a local weigh in I bet it was fluid. I wanted to cry and pig out too! And I did cry and think OH good Lord am I going to be able to ever get a break on this? Thank the Good Lord my doc doesnt reguire that big of a weight loss. But if you gain you cant get it done. I feel for you. My mobility isnt very good so maybe my doc took pity on me. lol. Just wanted to say hi and tell you you can do it! we are praying for you keep ip the faith! God bless you have a great week! chew that gum it will help with those cravings. Karla

hang in there Sista!  The aggressive bites but it should drop that off you in a flash!  I have a huge hug waiting for you tonight at support group!  You can cry on my shoulder, that will get some of that fluid off you!! Little minor set back, nothing stopped yet.  Everything will work out the way it is supposed to.  ((((((HUG))))))

Amy,(((((HUGS))))) You do have it in you to do this. Just keep your eye on the prize. When God closes a door he leaves a window open. Find that open window and hang on. Best of luck, Rita

Amy, I am sorry things went badly today.  Just keep doing everything you are supposed to and I am sure things will come together for you by the 21st.  We are all pulling for you and are here to support you whenever you need it!   Huggs, Pam

Hi Amy, don't worry, you WILL lose that weight.  I'm on full liquids right now and losing two lbs a day!  Keep your chin up, we're here for you.

I understand what you're feeling. I went in 2 weeks ago only to hear I was 4# shy of "goal". Next appointment was in 2 weeks and a week and half into it, the scale hadn't moved. I cried like a baby. I was doing everything I was told including the exercise. Come weigh in day, I was sure I wasn't close, but miraculously I had lost 5#. I couldn't believe it and almost questioned the girl weighing me, but thought better of it. YOU CAN DO IT!! This isn't easy and it takes work. But it's going to be worth it. I promise!!! Cindy

Amy, you can do it.  Don't let yourself get discouraged - remember that if you set your mind to it, it can happen!  Plus, let me tell you with the liquids, it should come off.  I haven't measured, but I'm consuming less than 200 calories a day and I really feel like the weight is moving.  Your body, with less caloric intake, will move those pounds off.  Keep the faith and remember why it is so important!  When you feel the need to eat, substitute something else.  Have you looked at www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com?  She has a pretty cool list of 50 things to do instead of eating.  You might check it out.  I'll see you tonight at the meeting - you can do it; hang in there!
