Weigh Day!

Well, I wasn't going to weigh today. I got AF friday and I always gain a little during that. But.....the scale in the exam room screamed at me to get on it when I went in this morning. So I did. And I cried. Lost 3.5 last week. Gained 2 pounds from last weeks weight.

I should have stayed off the damn thing. I knew I wouldn't like it!

Honestly, I am thinking of not trying anymore. I have been fighting with 20 pounds for 4 months. I I have lost 5-6 of them. That's all. I think my body just doesn't want to go back to the weight I was.

Jo - the scale was not nice to me this morning either. I was at 195 - so up 3 pounds. Not TOO bad for a week of vacation but not great either.... I thought I would be down -I ate fairly well (there were some fries in there) and walked  A LOT. Ah well. I think that my body wants to be in the 190's - I'll just have to live with it!

Hope that there is good news to follow for the other ladies!

Just do what I did.   Do a happy eff you dance on the damn thing and then chuck it in the trash.  

I will say this, don't give up.  You may never get the same body back and that's ok.   Look how far you have come from before surgery.   Either way you are still in a fantastic spot and look great.  

Eat right, exercise, and you will be golden.  

Don't give up. Giving up will lead to gaining. You did not really gain, you are just bloated from AF. I remember when I had that 2 pound gain a month ago, crying, cursing, and angry I wanted to give up. The next week I lost almost 8 pounds. It was the only time I lost that much in a week. Look at this week as a week to have a huge loss and do even better.

I thought I would have a loss this week but the scale stayed exactly the same. Not even one ounce lost but exactly the same 183. It doesn't make sense to not lose after walking for 6.5 hours this week and staying under 1400 every day except for going over a bit one day. I know the weight will come off so I am not doing anything different. Hopefully we all have great losses this week!

Maintaining is a good thing, too.  No, it's not as good as losing if you're in the losing mode, but you've done so well!  Your body is probably just taking a little break so you can have a huge loss next week!

Sorry for the pity party. I am in an emotional rut lately and the scale isn't helping. I don't mean to sound so whiny! LOL Although my mom said I always did whine alot.

Just feeling sorry for myself.........ignore me!

Jennifer.......sorry there was no loss. That stinks. Although I guess it is better than a gain.

Liz, I know how you feel. It's frustrating!

Here's to a great weigh in for EVERYONE next monday!

Never give up, Jo!  I know it's easy to feel that way, but that's probably why we got to where we were before surgery... at least for me, I'm sure.

I was going to avoid posting at all today - take the coward's way out, but I changed my mind.  I have had a hard time getting completely back on track since Joe went back overseas.  I have pretty much been on a binge all weekend long.  I ate pizza, donuts, cheese nips... you name it, I ate it!  I weighed this morning, and the scale said 160.2!  That's a 4 pound gain from last week.  I can't see that I consumed enough calories to gain 4 poundsin a week, so I am hoping that part of it is water due to the salty pizza and the fact that AF is coming at the end of this week.  But regardless of the reason, I gained 4 pounds, I guess.  I'm bummed and feel like a cow, basically.  I know what I need to do; I just need to get in the right mindset again and get back on track.  Maybe I need to do a little soul searching and positive thinking - LOL!

I still want to lose at least 10 pounds, if not 20.  I may be able to lose 20, but I am not sure I can maintain at 140; I couldn't before.  We'll see, I guess, but I am not giving up.

Have a great week!!

So, I weighed on my scale when I got up this morning.  It said 103.2.  I went to the doc an hour after that and was weighed there.  I weighed 103.4.  So unfortunately, my scale is not off.  I am down 7 pounds from my previous weights.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR so frustrating, although, all in all I am feeling pretty good, so that is really all that matters...right?
