Stupid TOM! Stupid WPs! Stupid scale! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Ten Years · 03-13-2011, 01:19 PM

Soooo I am stuck at 260.6 today. Same as last week, on the nose. What REALLY irritates me is that at my mid-week "check-in" weigh in that I always do, I was down two pounds. I thought it was going to be a great week!

TOM started yesterday, and I ate about 35 of my weekly points, which I hadn't touched in the previous two weeks. I am not sure which one of these is the culprit, but I'm not happy.

It's enough to make me want to eat a whole dang cake. Not going to do it though. I am so done with weekly points for awhile!

I feel you. I maintained exactly for 2 weeks. Crazy that I did not gain or lose not even 1 ounce. Next weigh-in I will be down because I tightened up my ropes.

Well at least you did not gain...I am up 3lbs and have no explaination for it. As a matter of fact I have had a major sinus infection and a pinched nerve in my jaw making it difficult to even open my mouth.
Think mine is from all the drugs I am taking???? antibiotic, steriod, inhailer, muscle relaxer and a tranquilizer??

Talk about messed up

This is going to be me tomorrow! Only I'm sure I've gained, but I'm going to weigh in anyway and just make better choices this week.

I'm always surprised when people say they don't eat ther WP. I always have...up until recently...I always had a loss unless I went over all of my daily and WP.

I just recently came from a 172.6 stall for 9 days straight, not even the ounce moved and I was on plan the whole time. I know it is not considered a true stall but it sure felt like one. When the stall finally broke, I noticed my body had changed, like it was catching up to my weight loss because I was much smaller. So I guess it was a good thing but now I am running as fast as I can away from 172, I don't want to be anywhere near that dreadful number

I always gain at least 2-3 lbs during TOM.

Really, it could be so many things. Water retention, hormones, sodium, etc. Just keep on doing the right things and the scale will catch up with you.

Spooky is right, if you are doing things right, the scale always manages to catch up and show a loss.

In the words of some movie character, "Dude, you must chill."

Ten Years · 03-13-2011, 06:05 PM

Ha! That's one of my favorite movies.

I'm not going to fall off the boat or anything, just irritated! All will be better next week, I am sure of it.

Hang in there! Do not give up. Our bodies change slowly sometimes. Be patient and the scale will move down again! Good Luck!

linalin · 03-14-2011, 09:28 AM

Definitely hang in there! I only went down .4 last week, so I feel your pain! But look at it this way: you didn't gain!!

uncontentgirl · 03-14-2011, 12:52 PM

i ate all my Daily Points plus 23 of my weekly points this week, which i never use. plus, im on my TOM so i had a one pound gain. im not bummed about it though because i know its just gonna make me work harder this week and hopefully, next weigh in ill have great results.
