Synger - Congrats on the loss!! You are doing great!!
I weighted myself last week. (Thursday) I was down 4 lbs BUT I had not 1 but 2!!! Bad days.
I'm going to skip weighing myself today since, I was bad!
I know where I went wrong. Not planning well enough, not logging in my food on Pure Points Software. (I guess I don't have it all down on figuring pts values) The workouts went bad because - (Day 1) husband coming home from work early so we ran here and there. (School stuff) I ate healthy but mess up my calculations on pts. (Day 2) I babysat my great nephew (he's 2) his reg. baby sitter was sick. I played all day. Then my niece bought me Taco Pizza I ate it. UGH!! The days just got away from me. Had I planned properly I could have did much better. Sorry for this being so long I was think typing on how I messed up.
Mezmerize - don't beat youself up too much over a couple of bad days. They're in the past now. Like you said, you know where you went wrong, just get right back at it again.
I'm down 1 pound this week. I had expected to see a gain because it's my TOM and I didn't really get any exercise in this week because of a course I was taking.
I am doing it the way Oprah did it. I mean, I weigh myself daily and then take an average at the end of the week. I know people say not to weigh themselves daily, but I like getting an average -- so that a little water retention on weigh day does not ruin my whole week.
Well, I'm a little annoyed because today I'm retaining an enormous amount of water, stupid TOM! My pants even feel tight on me Anyway, I'm up 2.5lbs to 212.5lbs from last Monday. I weighed yesterday because I couldn't wait until today and I was down 1lb, but since it wasn't my weigh day I can't count it. Next week will be better....................
Synger - Wonderful! Any loss is great, but it's always exciting to move down into a new decade.
Mez - the important thing is that you know what you did wrong, but now you know the importance of planning. I really don't think you have anything to worry about just because you had a couple of bad days, but losing weight is a mental game so do whatever it is that you need to do to keep your mind focused on the end result.
Dee - 1 lb down, good job! I think we should get extra bonus point for living through TOM with any kind of loss.
Paula - I think that is a great idea! I don't have scales at home so I can't do that at this time, but it's something I'll consider in the future. Congratulations on the 1.8 loss!
Howie -
Krysi - It doesn't seem fair! But I'm sure your gain is just water and you'll have a great WI next week to make up for this week.
One thing I have learned is that a gain is easy to come back from, so I hope none of you who have, let it get to you. It's not worth it, you have to look at it in the overall. And for women in the whole TOM cycle, you shouldnt even briefly consider getting down about it, its not in your control.
I am down 2lbs this week reached 71 lbs in total which was a happy moment My counselor at JC put my before and progress pics up on the cork board at the center, she's hoping it inspires a few more men to be less shy about JC.
In the past i have done the same when I suspect i have gained. The first time I used JC to lose weight i would even cancel appointments under false reasons, (going away) or some other lie I could mustor to avoiding coming in and getting on the scale.
Laura - congratulations on the 1 lb loss! The fact that you are so close to seeing both another decade disappear and reaching your first mini-goal is great motivation for another good weigh in next week!
Paul - WOW! What a great week for you also! I know I always get motivated seeing before, during and after pictures of others trying to fight the battle of the bulge so I know your councelor is correct and you are going to be a great motivation for other men at your Jenny Craig center!
Linda - I'm still a long way from Onederland, but it is so inspiring to see others reach it! Congratulations on all your hard work getting there!!
As for myself - I lost 4 more ugly pounds this week!
Well I had my weigh in, and gained 1 lb. I am mad at myself about it because I know it was because I was not being careful. I kind of look at it as a wasted week, but my BMI is down again as well I can fit into some jeans confortably that I haven't worn in awhile. Small successes.
