I am so frustrated this morning, I could cry. I put on one and a quarter pounds this week. I was really surprised as I thought I had done well this week. AND my trousers feel looser. I know I shouldn't get obsessed with the scale and that it could be muscles growing from all the walking I have been doing or water weight or whatever, but the whole thing is so depressing.

Plus, I have been in an evil mood for two days, sort of like really bad PMT symptons but TOM is not for just over a week. Does anyone know if PMT can start this early?

Oh to be in my 20s again when it was so easy to lose weight

Well off to change my stats back up. Sorry for writing such a depressing post, I just had to vent somewhere and I knew this was the place to do it. Thanks UK chicks!

Oh I forgot to say, count me in for a March challenge. I would like to lose 8 pounds.

Phoebe don't be so disheartened - if you think you've done well then it's probably a temporary blip, we all get them. Have you tried measuring yourself? Sometimes if I don't lose on the scales I measure myself and just see how the inches are coming off - it gives me a great boost.

Count me in Sarah - 7lb off in March for me too.

Sarah Ann · 03-01-2002, 05:52 AM

Phoebe - don't panic - pop over to the thread called Dieting Side Affects (or something like that) you aren't the only one having mood swings!

Anyone else fancy a personal challenge for this month??????

Does anyone know how I post a poll?

Sarah Ann · 03-01-2002, 06:02 AM

OK - I figured out how to post a poll (sounds like something bizarre happening to a parrot!!)

I want to lose 7lb in March

Posy · 03-01-2002, 12:40 PM

Hi everyone

well despite increasing my exercises at the gym...I was a little worried that might affect my weigh in, but it didn't...another 2lbs lost this week

I've just posted my new pictures on my webpage if anyone wants to go and have a look

it feels great looking at how much I have to lose now to reach that final goal...only 78 more pounds , sure looks a whole lot better than 213 lbs

Phoebe...My TOM is really irregular, but no matter what. I always start to get the usual bloated achy and crampy feelings at the same time every month, which usually leads to a disappointing weigh in for me, the thing is it wouldn't be so bad if it actually started then, but it doesn't and sometimes it can be up to 2 weeks late, and I have those feelings all the time so I can sometimes end up with 2 disappointing weigh ins, it really gets me down sometimes, but I know there is nothing I can do about it, so I just tend to try and stay strong and grumble and moan to anyone who listens..hehehe and to those that wont too

The only consolation I seem to get is that after it I tend to have a good loss for a couple of weeks which does make up for it a little ...but obviously not at the time.
Just hang in there

I like the idea of the challenge for the end of march and I think as my losses have slowed down a little now 7lbs lost by the end of march seems a reasonably achievable goal so count me in

Well time to go cook dinner

Have a great day everyone

Posy · 03-01-2002, 07:18 PM

thanks TQ I will keep it up, nothing is going to stop me from reaching that final goal now

I'll join in! 7lbs by the end of March! Thats would get me down to 11st 13lbs! Ooh a new stone that'll be nice!

I checked my BMI yesterday and Ive gone from the obese category to the overweight category! It'll be a lot longer til I get to the healthy weight range category though!

Its gonna take me a long time to catch up on all the threads I'll miss while Im in London! Im hoping I wont put weight on in London coz we will be walking a lot, so fingers crossed!

another gain this week; but just half a pound

my ww leader has loaned me her bonus buddy and yes, it is a gimmick but it's a gimmick that is working so far; it's an incentive to walk/run up the stairs/park a bit further away from the supermarket door

so hey, what the heck

I need a goal too; just to get a weight loss this side of my 40th is my personal goal

well done everyone
