I am having a bad day, emotionally, too much stuff going on that I do not want to deal with. I feel really overwhelmed.

But the one thing I can control is what I put in my mouth. So I will hang onto that and honestly with so much junk going on I don't even care if the scale moves or not this week... I just need to stay on plan to give myself some sense of stability and control.

Keep your chin up, Lyn. :hug:

Uber thanks girlie :)
i was thinkin "frig, this is crazy!!!! no change and im really active now" haha
Yah i know its not the food i eat really good the odd time (once every 2 months i have deepfried stuff) but its down to the water.

Good for you Lyn, that's a big hurdle to get over. But once you realize that how you eat is something you can control that affects how you will feel, rather than just eating to feel better about whatever is going wrong in your life, you're definitely on the right track.

The scale read 190.4 for me this morning and I almost fell off it. Last time I weighed in I was at 193, so that was a pretty big jump. And I haven't been on plan. But I did just end my TOM so I'm hoping it's for real and not a one day scale fluke. We'll see tomorrow!

Awesome weigh in Nicci! What a happy surprise!

Still 191 and hanging in there.

Bounced up this morning, who knows why? Perhaps it's a TOM thing, because I was very much on plan yesterday.

On the plus side: the bounce up still has a 1 in front, not a 2. :)

192.4... and I woke up with a huge migraine so my breakfast consisted of 4 Advil and a migraine pill. Almost never take Advil as it makes me retain water big time, but at least the headache is gone now.... guess I'm going to plateau for a while again-- it was fun losing a pound a day last week-- just like the old days.

I'm stuck between 198 and 199. I am trying hard to not weigh myself but it doesn't usually work out that way. I'm staying on point with my calories and drinking a bit more water than usual.

I've had some weird TOM issues, it started last week but very lightly even though it wasn't the right, well TOM lol because I'm on birth control. I SHOULD be starting my actual TOM now as I am starting the placebo pills but I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Either way I am AGAIN attempting to not weigh myself until the end of the week. I just want to see the weight disappear instead of being stuck, it's so frustrating to be stuck so close to 200lbs when I just broke that barrier - I never want to have to break it again.

I ate off plan last night, not a junk binge but still, off. 193 today and feeling it.

I'm 197.7! That's what I got to last time I started dieting and then it stalled here and I gave up. I am NOT going to do that this time. I just have to keep pushing on and once I get past this number I'll be fine.

I'm feeling so fat today. I don't know if it's that I'm starting my TOM and just bloated or what. I'm glad that I'm not hopping on the scale even though I've been eating on track AND exercising like I should.

I really don't want to be stuck where I am, it's a scary thing and I WILL get passed this and down into the lower 190s. Can't wait.

We can do it! You can push passed this too Sunshine. :)

Thank you! I'm going to try my hardest. I keep surprising everyone in my family by saying no to certain foods and exercising all the time. I just tell them I'm on a mission and I'm not stopping until I get to 135 lbs. So watch me go.

what are you doing that is not working? I am not skinny but,I was in the 200 and down and got into eating healthy and limit cheese and junk crap and eating out basically and working out on weekends or 3 times a week with stepper and wii games.

I think you should get a thorid test and go to a dietian and see what your doing that makes you eat wrong and replace the bad with some good food.
for ex instead of chips you can eat popcorn or toast some tortillas into the oven etc..or instead of yogurt eat the greek kind of yogurt it has less suger and TONS OF VEGGIES AND SALADS even if is frozen and try to avoid the can stuff bc of salt..i was like you also,I noticed those changes and with new baby is hard trying to keep up so..you eat when you can and the best you can..DON'T GIVE UP and do cardio with balance diet and drink tons of green tea with honey or natural sweetner.It helps cleansing the bod.
:)

hey we should email each other and keep checking if were keeping out goal and etc..we are towards the same goal and I need support:carrot:

I don't think Terre is going to get this note. She's long gone into the 170s...:wave:
