The good news is you a chance to pull it back together. Take a deep breath and start completely fresh. Don't worry about the past, deal with now and plan for the future. You can do this!

hubby says " you know.. you've been OP for two weeks but you didn't weigh yourself when you started. For all you know, you could have been at 340 or higher a few weeks ago

That's totally true, Heather! See, you're already on your way back down! Let your logical side win---what's done is done, you can't take it back... you are where you are... what you still have control over is where you're headed. You can do it!

Hi Heather,

You sound so unbelievably discourgaged and I'm truly sorry. But, you are at a crossroads now and must make a decision....to continue to lose the weight and to eat for life, or give up and stay the weight you are now....or, if you're like me, gain even more. Ultimately, the choice is all yours.

We have faith in you! You can put this behind you and keep going! We're here for you.

You can do it! A backslide is no reason to hate yourself. You are human. Pick yourself up, dust off your hiney and get back to work!
I had lost 78 pounds, gained back 30 and had to relose that to get to the point I am back at now. It's hard not to get irritated with yourself for having to do all that hard work over again, but the past is past.

I'm feeling better. It's still just UGH so irritating.
I did my WATP 1 mile and got down to 1600 calories. For some reason, fitday tells me that I burn over 2k in a day I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I've been getting under 1900 for the last two weeks and now I'm cutting that further

Heather!!! How nice to see you!!!

Sounds like you are back on track! Glad to hear it!! Those pounds will melt back off in NO time!!

Give your husband a huge kiss! It is wonderful that he is so supportive of you.

before i got pregnant with my daughter i went from 220 to 180 then i got pregnant and you could have put a bike pump up my butt and i would have blown up slower then after she was born i was 170 straight after (i threw up the entire pregnancy and suddenly i could eat again lol..) i went to 250 with in 6 months of her birth lol.. then i ignored it and when i got on the scale in december 2007 i was 288.8 lol.. I gotta loose an extra 50 pounds then last time about double what i had to before .. but i dontcare it happened i cant change the fact so im just doing something about it .. so far ive lost 12.8 in a month you can do it your not starting over just hit a little speed bump like me ..

OMG!!!is the shop run by that is so stupid what would be the point of havignlean cuisines if you buy it for the ice cream lol.. sorry but that has completly blown me away

Aww Heather I know it sucks when you've done well in the past and then gain it back. I freaked the first time I had to weigh again. I had lost so much after having Nate but I didn't keep up with the eating/exercise and just packed on the pounds. I try to use the past in the knowledge I've gained from my endeavors and forget about the scale and all the shoulda coulda wouldas that come with going back there. This getting healthy business is a learning process and we have to take the good with the bad. I know I've learned a lot about myself and I'm doing so much better this time around.
Keep your head up. You can do it!!

Dawnyal: I remember you from when I used to hang out here :-D
Nice to see a familiar face

I've been OP for 2 weeks, and I've exercised 4 days in a row which is not usual for me at all (even when I lost weight before) and the scale told me first 333, then 335, 336 and 338. I think my scale is a piece of crap. No way I could have gained, and that huge fluctuation of numbers is just not right. Hubby says to take the first number and use it, as it would give me a 1 pound loss

LOL!!!! That is so funny yet so sad!

Heather, been there, done that.........3 times!!! Lost and gained #50 three different times and once again I am faced with losing it again. It is discouraging but you know what......we know we can do it because we HAVE done it before. This time, lets just keep it off....OK

I'll help you if you help me

Heather - I feel your pain! I weigh right around what you do - and the thing that kicked me right in the pants was watching the biggest loser - and looking at those big guys and realizing that i weighed what they do!!

I've been on this yoyo for 2/3 of my life (yikes!!) - and while I haven't figured it all out yet (obviously) - I do know that after a week or two of being "on plan" and eating well I start to feel good enough to continue doing it.

I'd be happy to buddy up with you if you need to. I could use a buddy, too.

My best advice is to log on every day - no matter how you feel!! I know it helps me when my motivation is slipping.
