Sometimes going off plan is just what the body needs. If you get back on the wagon today, those little "indiscretions" might not even show up.

Well opposite the whoosh fairy is the bloat gobblin, yup coming up on TOM (actually couple days late) and the scale is showing it. Hope all you peeps have a great Monday (is that possible)

GW 211.8 Oh I so want this!!!

sugar and fat are my crack, meth and heroin.
I have gained control by admitting to myself that I have no choice but to swear off sugars and fats.
I have lost significant weight b/c I admitted my weakness to myself everyday. I will be humble enough to admit that I got fat and unhealthy because i can not control my desire to consume sugar-fat-carbs. So now I do not eat any of those foods at all.
My life is improved in too many ways to count.
Best of all my self loathing is diminished.

Contrary to all the advice I give, I ate almost nothing yesterday, I think I was under 1000 calories...so I gained weight. I'm pretty sure it isn't real, but I like to see the scale go down everyday.

wannaskipandlaugh, no I went up but I had less than 900 calories, only ate 2 meals and am PMSing bad so selavi.

MonteCristo, looks like maybe I did the same thing it wasn't intentional but now I see the importance of eating all necessary meals

love having all you wonderful peeps to be on this journey with, I am working on getting another to join as I feel she could benefit greatly from your insight, wisdom and support.

Hello Everyone! I am back from vacation. Some good times and some bad. I will weigh in tomorrow and see what damage was done.

Jessie congrats on the win!

Sue Wow! I cannot wait for you to hit your challenge GW. So exciting!!!

Welcome Kathy! and Welcome Back Mara!

So I tried 30DS yesterday. It was terrible, I'm so out of shape that my heartrate skyrocketed 5 minutes in and I had to quit or pass out. But I'm going to keep at it, and maybe after 30 days I'll be able to finish the workout! lol Didn't weigh today, had to be at work at 5:30am (argh!) no time for frivolities like weighing!

Welcome Kathy, ok this is crazy, I have been eating just as I should and yet I am going up up up, the only change is I have in the past two days eaten a LOT of twang, citric acid salt to fill the munchie spots... Could this be water retention? Today I will eat none and see what tomorrow brings

Jessie, you mentioned PMS a day or so ago...I personally have a swing of about 3lbs around TOM. It jumps on 3 days before and stays about 6 days. Every single time, as regular as clockwork.

Could be the twang too. Not familiar with it, so I couldn't say if it would cause you to retain water.

I am sorry Jessie.. we had posted same time yesterday! and Yep Tom and Salt... WATER HOLDER! LOL Watch it woosh away soon... and you had had a nice drop before and sometimes (in my case) you gain back alittle to then lose again.. Our Bodies are Strange!

Welcome Kathy! You are so welcome to join us!

Monte... You too.. your little mini gain is water.. and wow.. 5 minutes of the 30DS that is great to start! truly is. Every day it will get easier for you!

Mara.. glad to have you back and I hope you had a good visit with your Brother! Next week will be a good week for us! My case good news.. your case the bad stuff corrected!

In my case the yoyo is on its way down again! LOL

Well, here is what I figured out - I think my bad behavior at the fair didn't hurt me b/c I actually fraeking ate some calories that day! I had 1800 by end of day - I realized that and made myself eat more the following days and still lost - yesterday though --- I ate 330 calories ALL day, and burned over 500 in excercise.

I'm not trying to do this keep in mind, I just could not eat anything. I have felt so naseous etc - trying to figure out why - and I think it may be the new birth control pill I'm on. I have had horrible migraines with it, which have let off some now, and now my issue is I just can't seem to eat. When I forced myself too, I nearly threw it back up - it was an extreme struggle to keep it down and had to use pepto several times.

This is frustrating - so naturally I had a gain over yesterday b/c of so few calories. Just a little I know but I'm in a difficult place - eat and feel sick all day to loose, or not eat b/c I don't want to and gain or stay steady --- today is my last day on this pill then I get a 7 day break (not a sugar pill or whatever, just no pill at all for 7 days), so I'm really interested to see what happens then.

Welcome kuselton.

You can do it MonteCristo! Each day you will be able to go a little further.

Jessie I would definitely say water retention from TOM.

Sue I did have fun visiting. Keep going down! You are going to be in bottom 200's soon.

Ali sometimes you just cannot eat when you are sick to your stomach. The new bc pills could be the culprit. I hope you feel better soon.

Well I weighed and I know some is water weight. Also I have been taking an iron pill at the surgeons behest so I think it is affecting me. I definitley need to increase my fiber.
