had WI #7 today, down only 1.5 my coach immediately asked if i had cheated (i did have a couple drinks saturday) so i told her that I did but it kind of bothered me that she asked that immediately. While 1.5 lbs in a week isn't ideal, I am nearing my goal so had expected my losses to slow down now I don't know what she is expecting of me every week

I've been on the boards today upset because my losses are so low... 1.6, 1.3, if I knew I could have a few glasses of wine on the weekend & still lose, I'd be ecstatic. Don't let her get to you, ultimately its YOUR goal, not her expectations.
Wanted to say thanks to everyone for everything--it is a great support for me. I probably will not be on here while I am away so I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. Relax and enjoy your friends, family and yourself!

Okay Kelsey, so here is what I learned today from my coach. So the first two weeks 3 lb losses, then 2 weeks of 2 lb losses and last week 1 lb! I had been STARVING the couple days before that 1 lb loss and couldn't figure that out either. So my scale is always within .2 lbs of theirs. I had my 1 lb wi on Monday. I weighed this morning and was down 4 lbs! I weighed myself four different times all with the same result. I immediately text my coach because I find it hard to believe and I don't understand. She said that the weeks that you are having a good fat burn, your body naturally retains water and the following week you will flush it out.
Maybe that is what is happening to you!?! If there is another coach in the building I would ask to switch. If that isn't possible, kindly explain that you can beat yourself up enough and that you don't need any help doing that from her. Just tell her what you need from her...her support, not accusations. Tell her it hurt your feelings. Let her know...kindly. Hang in there Kelsey...you got THIS!!!

Have a great holiday! We will miss your words of wisdom and encouragement while you're gone!
I'll be picking up my rental car in Chicago Wednesday, praying for good weather for my 2 hour drive.
Today was such a hard day at work. The first half of a project was due and only 7 out of 80 kids had it done. (After 3 days of in class work) They are nice kids but they have no sense of urgency and deadlines mean nothing to them. Really worries me, I have seen such a decline in effort in 7 years.
Two kids leaving early for the Holidays, were in tears because they did not have it done. Assigned it 9 days ago! Of course in their 7th grade eyes, I am the evil witch. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Positive note, stayed OP!

good for you for staying OP! 7th graders are the worst i think and yet i feel drawn to teach middle schoolers for some odd reason. what do you teach?
i'm getting my masters in education right now but won't be teaching for another few years, until all of my own kids are in school full time.
