therecoveringfatchic - I feel ya'. If feels like I have been doing everything right and making good decisions with food, and working out, yet when I stepped on the scale this morning it went up! Ugh. I know this is a long process but it's still frustrating when you don't see your hard work paying off.
I've been feeling anxious for the past few days and have wanted to eat everything in sight. I head to a new doctor today and that always makes me nervous. I've had pretty bad experiences in the past with doctor's being flat out rude and use what seems like scare-tactics about my weight. All it's seemed to do is trigger a binge-fest so my goal today is to remain focused no matter what happens. I know that I'm doing all I can do to improve and that's all that should matter. Wish me luck
Hey everyone, im still here but really lethargic and had a bad week...still super sick; uou get the drill :/ saw 279 this am but just barely, 279.8.....it was 279 the day AFTER my last official weigh in so while I lost 2.2 lbs, I TECHNICALLY gained .8 :/ oh well, new week new start!
hey everyone, hope you all are well.
i had a crazy weekend, where i just ate for most of Sunday, and i also drank quite a bit. i'm not a huge drinker to begin with (i will occasionally have wine or a beer when i get home from work, or drink socially with friends), but since starting weight watchers, i've abstained since i'd rather eat my calories.
either way, the occasion was a friends birthday. booze, food, and cupcakes. i was fine the next day and have been on plan since, though i felt bloated for like 2 days. i don't weight in till friday, so hopefully this weekend didn't do too much damage.
Hello, I started at 280, and am almost, hopefully soon will be out of the 270s, I will weigh myself tomorrow. Fingers crossed, it will be at or under 270!
fillupthesky - Thanks so much for asking! It actually went really well. The doctor was really kind and didn't harp on me at all about my weight. I valued her expertise about what we were discussing. I left feeling really proud of myself. Instead of just hanging onto the last dr because it's what I knew and "they probably all are like that"...I was an advocate for myself. I think I'm moving in the right direction Good luck with the weighin tomorrow!
Welcome Truffle and Mamapu! I am still hanging around here. Back down to the weight that I started out at this month. TOM always messes everything up. I probably will be here until I get my behind back in gear. Every day is a new day!
Junebug-glad to hear it! I had to put my big girl panties on and advocate for myself recently too to get some tests done!
Lindy-hate TOM! sadly what I hate worse right now is not having TOM and getting high bloid pressure instead >. < had to fight with my doctor go get some hormones ran because no period + nausea and more acne with preg tests being negative means something is up.
sadly my high BP is making me hold water therefore weight >. < at night my fingers and feet feel soooo tight. I drink toooons of water so im not sure what is up :/
mamapu - Soooooo? How did it turn out this morning? Did you break the decade?
Lindy - I hear ya'! I hate TOM! Hang in there
SMSDREAMER - I'm so sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well. Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. They mean a lot after being so stressed about the doctor. I hope you get everything figured out soon. It's so hard fighting this battle when you don't feel good (or at least I know it is for me...can we say comfort food?).
I haven't weighed in yet, sometime after 3, I thought I was closer than I am I am 274.2, I thought it was 272.4, so my dyslexia tricked me for a little while. But on a happy note I went through the mcdonalds drive thru without getting myself anything! I've been staying under 1600 calories all week, usually more around 1400, so I'm pretty proud of that! Hopefully the scale shows it later!
Way to go everyone... and welcome to those that I haven't said it to!
I ran my first day of the c25k (couch to 5k) running program on Thursday. Yesterday, I was only a little bit sore. Today, I have to run again but am so sore I could barely get out of bed. These are the days I would normally quit... NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I will baby myself a little this morning but, I will get my butt out there again today!
