Gotta turn this train around!

I am not doing so well.  I started october at 311.9 with a goal of 299 by Haloween.  I got quite sick and dropped to 302.9 by October 6.  Since then I have been GAINING!!!  As of today I am 307.7 I keep trying to realize that I am still below where I started and the perhaps I am just normalizing...  Also, not eating for several days may have caused my body to store EVERYTHING I've eaten in the last week. As of yesterday I am back on my every 2 hours plan and am hopeful that the scale will start moving down once again so that I can get to 299 by the end of the month.

I'm so sorry!  I know how you feel.  I really thought you were losing steadily, and you WERE. But you're still doing good!  Remember that! If you're not at goal by Nov. 1, then maybe by Nov. 15, then by Christmas you'll be at 290!  Yay! Keep it up, Elizabeth!  You are strong willed and determined, so you can do it! Sending out a hug for you! Bren

PLUS, the weight we drop while sick is not usually meaningful loss. Probably lost fluids, actually, more than anything. I know you were not eating much, but still, your body goes into a hyper-conserv mode when you're sick too.  If i read this right, you are still down 4 pounds this month???? That is great. I think 12 pounds may have been a little ambitious. Not impossible, just ambitious.  The lesson may be to set more conservative goals. Anything above the goal can be gravy!!!! You are doing great.

hey don't feel discourage you can probably still make it if you try... keep eating healthy and exercise .. try doing lots of cardio... its a great exercise to lose weight... check out findyourdetour.com

305.7 this morning... so moving in the right direction.  I feel like the little engin that could... ithinkican...ithinkican...ithinkican.....

Hehe woot woot!  I think I can, I think I can.  Maybe that should be what we think every time a piece of tempting something or another calls our name.  Maybe change it to ..>I know I can, I know I can....Lol, I think I'll give it a try today!  Glad to see your feeling better today.
