Depressed

okay depressed and crying! The last time i weighed myself was Thursday I got on the scale today and it actually went up .4!!! I seriously want to crawl in a hole and die.  I have been getting around 50-60 oz of water and 60 grams  of protein in.  I seriously don't know what I am doing wrong. I know everyone has been trying to be happy and positive lately with our new daily threads, but right now everything is looking pretty dark and depressing.

AMANDA... I just want to tell you not to stress over .4... You will lose a bunch of weight.

I was feeling down the other day because I seem to be stuck...I read that around the 3rd or 4th week your weight loss begins to stop, But it begins to pick up.  It might be true for you too.

 

(((HUGS)))  It will be ok.. Dont stress.

Well it looks like I'm right there with you STUCK haha... Thanks sweetie! Now the weight loss needs to just pick back up!

You are being way to heard on yourself!  Settle down, it'll be OK.

****hugs**** Sorry you're feeling this way, sweetie... everything will be ok.  The difference in.4 could have many different explainations. When I was at that stage, I worked on getting a minimum of 80 grams of protein and over 64 oz of water.... if I had any caffeine... I'd drink double that amount in water- still follow these rules today. Don't be too hard on yourself, girlie.... you'll be losing again in no time!

Maybe I should bump up my protein from 60 to 80.  I dont have caffeine, it is actually on my list of things that i shouldnt have like ever, so I havent touched it.  I was just super upset because I actually looked back and last saturday I was the same weight I am today and it seems kinda wrong to have not lost anything in a full week! Thanks so much Jaci

I think we all hit bumps in the road. Even though I am doing my walks,weight lifting, and all that wonderful stuff.. I'm stuck as well. It happens. Everyone goes through this.. it's just hard to deal with the first time because you feel like you've failed. Trust me-- you haven't.  Just think about all you've accomplished up to this point! It's wonderful that you've lost weight! And you will make it! :) Zandra

Definately.  I didn't have caffeine that early out either, but I was just offering info in case you did lol. There were plenty of weeks were I was the same weight as the week before.  The following week I dropped a handful of pounds.  Just wait and see what happens, hun.  Have you checked out your monthly board?  Maybe some are experiencing the very same thing and can offer some support there as well..... *hugs*

Awww...it will be okay!!!!  I gained like 2 pounds in a day, and the next two days dropped 5!!!  It's crazy how the body works....don't worry, your DS does work!!!!  I also stalled for about two weeks, but then dropped 5 pounds in like a day.  IT WILL GET BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just try to keep a positive attitude...and HIDE YOUR SCALE....I was weighing myself like every day, and I was just getting pissed off...so I started doing it only every week...and it has helped A LOT!!!!!!!  Just a suggestion!  FEEL BETTER!!! 

PS...you had surgery almost a month AFTER me and we have lost the same amount of weight so far...you are doing AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
