I am sooo confused. the scale is WAY back up again for me. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? yesterday I ate perfectly on plan and did my first day of the couch to 5k and still the scale is letting me down. I think it's because I weighted in a 8am this morning just after rolling out of bed and yesterday when I was down to a weight I liked to see on the scale I weighed in at almost lunch time cause IWas running around all morning.

Darn! I am up higher than I started! What is this?

This could be due to the alcohol I had Friday, the 3 cookies I had Saturday, or the watermelon I ate Sunday (b/c I eat it with a lot of salt--but I only used a little bit of salt yesterday mindful of water gain)

Or it could be close to TOM--I never know now--as I am soooo PeriMen.

Oh, HONESTLY.

ARGH.

What is it about the 170s and 160s that are just a Bermuda Triangle for me????? Last week I ate on plan all week, made it to the gym 5 out of 7 days. Saturday was my "don't track" day - but even so, I wasn't excessive.

Today's numbers:
SW: 163.4
CW: 167.2 (+3.8)
GW: 158.4

What the *&@#^$(*&@^#?????

Argh, argh, argh. My 170s were like this too. It took me 2 months of up and down and back and forth. I mixed things up, added HIIT to my workouts, changed up my weight lifting and raised my calories. Began to drop again. Then hit 165-167 and I'm back where I was - bouncing back and forth with the same 5lbs.

This is the FRUSTRATING part of all of this and I so understand why it makes people want to give up. I want to say "my body just wants to be at 165, so screw it, I'm staying here". But I know that's not true. I know that eventually I'll drop again ... and I may go through this same thing AGAIN in the 150s ... and in the 140s. I suspect the closer I get to my goal, the harder and harder this will be.

I know it's normal. I know I can get through this. I know it will happen for me. But for CRYING OUT LOUD .... I really don't like this part.

Argh.

(Thank you for reading my vent! )

I know you're feeling so frustrated, Photochick, but I can also remember the days when you never believed you'd see a 1-6. Keep the hope, we know you can do it. You've lost SEVENTY POUNDS. That's 30% of your starting body weight, and 65% of your goal completed. You're already a winner, and you can definitely get there!

Vikki - I'm sure you were talking to photochick, LOL

I hope I'm not up too much tomorrow - DH made supper - fried eggs and french fries... aarrgghh
