Basicly I have been goofing around with my diet since September - funny, that is also when I started working part time at Target. I worked 15-20 hours a week - and that was almost all exercise! - (one day I wore a pedometer just to find out - in a 4 hour shift I walked 7 miles!!!!) I left Target almost 2 weeks ago. It was the exercise that was keeping me from gaining the weight. (to be honest I was pretty much eating what I wanted during this time)
So the lesson - pump up my exercise and continue with the diet. I have been faithfully (except for one hour yesterday ) on the diet for a week now - I am not too upset about this huge gain but atleast it makes sense to me.
Exercise - wow - it's amazing what it can do for your body!!!
Dana..You have the right attitude about this. Don't beat yourself up over the 4 lb gain. Just let it be a wake up call...and that's what it seems to be.
SummerDay...Best wishes along your way..let your hard work shine through.
Alright, although I've been really bad about the dies (ok, there has been no diet to speak of since November) I am still down to 204.5 that is still 1.5 less than my last weigh in. Think it was stress loss, I will probably gain it all back once things calm down around here.
Weighed in this morning, down .4 from Christmas Eve (and 1.6 from last week). However, I don't really feel it's right. Puffy and not feeling as "slim" as two weeks ago. Probably from eating more unhealthy stuff in between and having had little or no "exercise" for the past five weeks. I'm moving a lot but it's not the same kind of exercise.
Really feeling the urge to go on a binge tonight but reading all your posts usually helps me to stay on the straighter and more narrow. Will go have some more water and then some tea and no more eating 'til morning.
Congratulations to all who've managed to lose, esp. of course, Snowball.
