i need some encouragement!!

ok i know i shouldn't whine a lot because i have lost a lot of weight but you get used to seeing the loss every week and this week i didn't see a loss but a gain of 1 lb! i know it's not a lot and hopefully i will get past it because i still want to lose 58lbs more. my husband changed my workout routine and he thinks that may have something to do with it because he has me lifting heavier weights less reps and it may have built me a muscle or two. also i am having bathroom trouble AGAIN! omg i get sick of not being regular in that area!! but hopefully things are going to get moving again and i am starting back on my workout routine today so we will see. also i have something wrong with my right eye and have to see a specialist on tuesday in tulsa and i am a little stressed about that. it seems that i have some stretch marks on my eye like something is behind it pushing trying to get through. now what worries me the most is that my little brother had a tumor on his optic nerve in the same eye. he is cancer free right now but has no sight in that eye. so a little stress and no pooping is taking its toll on me right now. thanks for letting me get it off my shoulders for a little while at least!!

I know what a pain (no pun intended) it is to not be regular.  MOM seems to be a really good friend of mine.  You could be building muscle, are you still loosing inches?  Are you following the rules?  As far as the eye I'll be swinging all kind of small mammals (something they do on the lightweight board for luck) for you that it's really nothing and you aren't following your brothers footsteps.

thanks for the offer of small animal sacrifices!! as for the inches i haven't measeured in a while but i will tonight. went to the gym this afternoon and i lost 1/2 of that pesky pound maybe because i got to visit the bathroom for real this time.

I don't think you're whining. We all need to talk once in a while. I totally relate to the bowel issues. Have you tried taking Fiber. I have started taking Fiber Choice chewable wafers and they have worked wonders for me. You might try them. They are not bad at all.
I hate seeing a weight gain even if it is a half pound. Yours is probably muscle weight. Still frustrating though I know. You will get it all off though. Just be patient with yourself and try not to get to discouraged.
The eye sounds painful. I will be saying prayers for you that it is a simple thing. Keep your chin up.

thanks em i needed to hear that!

Your body probably needs a break from letting go of the weight.  Try to focus on good choices and good nutrition-those are the things you have control over.

I am saying a prayer for a quick and easy resolution for your eye.

I am still battling the bathroom issue too, not as much as I was.  If I skip a day I get an enema.  Letting it "build up" is not the way to go. 

i know! i guess if i don't go every other day or so i need to do something about it!

About the weight thing......SLAP!  SLAP!  You need a reality check!  You can't possibly believe that you can lose every single wee****il you're at goal, do you?  You have done much better than most and are losing way faster than I am so don't go there sister! 

Now the bathroom issue - you are allowed to whine about that!  It is no fun to have cloggage!  Ever think the cloggage has to do with the scale thing?

And the eye thing is definitely something you can whine about.  That is something you have no control over.  I'll say a little prayer for you that it is no big deal!

Now straigten that tiara and go out and get 'em!  You are a weight loss star! 

ouch kim! i felt those slaps all the way down here in mcalester!! i guess i got spoiled by losing at least 1/2lb every week and i know it has to taper off sometime but dang it i'm not ready yet!! and yes i think being "clogged" does have something to do with the results on the scales. i wish i had your willpower to stay off the scales but i just can't do it!!

Ya know I love ya even though you're spoiled by your scales!!!
