alexisstrophic-Nice drop!

kifli-I'm sure the sodium bloat will drop in a day or two :)

The daily weighing and tracking is helping me stay more accountable on the weekends but I still struggle a bit. I'm back on plan today and going to work to get back to 133.x by Friday.

I hear you, Dottington! I was doing great yesterday, then went crazy with a fork and a chocolate cream mousse pie, right before I tossed it into the garbage. That thing probably had close to 600 calories a slice! I'm going to exercise this morning and make up for it today and the rest of the week (fruits and veggies and all good things). We can do it.

I went down today, but it probably would have been lower had I stayed on plan.

Hi everyone, I'm new here (but thought I'd come straight to Featherweights because I will probably cop it elsewhere for 'not needing to lose weight' which I get told offline so I was a bit unsure about registering here!). Long story short, through a stressful corporate job and postgraduate study the weight has been slowly but surely creeping on. I weighed myself yesterday and I was 139lbs (a gain of 28lbs in 2 1/2 years). I have been ignoring it up until now and focusing on achieving external goals, but I have never been anywhere near 140 so it was a massive shock. Looking to get back to my pre-study/office job weight of 110lbs (hence the name).

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Kifli-sorry the scale is up :( But know that you can get it back down again!

Climbed a mountain yesterday. 10 miles and 8,500' elevation gain. Took 8.5 hours. Everything hurts today and I knew the scale would be up a lot from all the water retention. I know it will go down though in a couple days.

WHAAAAA!!!!!????? How am I up 7lbs?? I knew I'd be up a bit yesterday from the hike but why today? I ate on plan yesterday! Why am I up today????OMG totally freaking out, I haven't seen numbers this high in a while :( I'm extremely upset over this. Gosh now I'm contemplating not even taking Thanksgiving off bc of these numbers. Its like there's no reason for this!

Dottington and Oneten - thank you for the words of encouragement!

Dottington - Whenever I have a huge workout like that, the second day is always the worst for me in regards to water retention and inflammation. I hope this is true for you as well. Awesome job climbing that mountain! The gain is worth it :)

I'm in Portland (OR) and all of my favorite restaurants are here, but I'm going to be careful. My mom has Type 2 diabetes and is doing great on her new healthy way of eating, so I am going to try and be a good example for her :) No scale here, so I can't weigh in. I'm going to do a fitness video this am. Have a great week!!!

Dottington - agree completely with kifli above. It sounds like temporary water weight to me (or muscle hehe)

Thanks oneten and kifli :hug: I almost didn't post today because I'm still so upset about being up this high especially after seeing consistent losses the last few weeks :( I'm really depressed by it and I feel huge and bloated. I did research though and I guess this is a common phenomenon with people. Normally when I do climbs like this I've been training intensely for weeks, but since there is a very short window for this hike I had to do it at the end of the semester when I haven't been able to train(aside from my regular lifting routine). So I guess my body is in shock and I'm reading it will take a few days for it to go down.

Dottington and Kifli-- Hang in there!

Ugh I don't know what is going on with my body. Managed to NOT overeat for Thanksgiving though but seriously its like the scale is picking random numbers at this point.
I've got new plan that I want to follow until Christmas which will be my next planned cheat.

Love the new avatar dottington!

Super late night last night so first meal today was lunch :) hoping for a good loss tomorrow.
