    Ok, SERIOUSLY people!!!!

    I dropped 4 lbs between Mon and Tues and gained 3.4 between Tues and Wed.

    Ah, I saw your name as the last poster and was sure you were going to post a loss! I guess you shouldn't trust me

    I wish I knew what to tell you. Have you considered that maybe you need more calories? I think you do ~ 1500-1600? I know you've gain while being looser with your diet, but I think some of that was with not so healthy foods? Maybe if it was all healthy additional calories? A stab in the dark Maybe a couple of days or even a week of on plan eating but a break from any intense exercise?
  • PC - I wish I knew. Our bodies are so mysterious at times! I know you are pretty detailed with all your spreadsheets...are you keeping track of everything? You know it will drop off again. Crazy, Crazy, Crazy.
  • ARGH. Thanks for the suggestions Julie. I'm wracking my brain on this one.

    I dunno. I've been eating super clean for a while (my trip to Albuquerque notwithstanding) and not a lot of junky stuff. Even in ABQ, I didn't eat *junk* I just ate a lot of rich foods.

    I think part of it is just sloppiness on my part. I'm tired, I'm stressed beyond words lately, and I'm just not being careful. I just need to get my act together.

    Maybe it's the stress itself doing this to you. You know, cortisol and all that.
  • Well, I guess I'll be happy to be at my starting weight since I weathered a big Christmas weekend and I'm FINALLY feeling better from being sick for a week and a half.

    Somebody needs to win this and put me out of my stalling misery!
  • Well, I'm still above where I started (which I now suspect was just some freakish dip), but lower than yesterday. Still, down 2+ lbs overall from last week, so I cannot complain!

    It seems like these 5lbs are the hardest! I can't give up. I can't give up. I can't give up.
  • JAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY! Yay for you joining here! I'm a few days late on noticing with my stupid schedule. Cheryl and I are calorie counting BFF you know.

    Blah! Blah! Blah! Too much miso soup and my period. Blah! Über great times with water retention. I love it, it's a freaking party.

  • Gotta love that water retention! Hang in there FB.

    .
  • Thanks PC - I'll certainly hang in there. I just love salty stuff, love it. I love it so much I forget the scale frustrations when I'm slogging it down. I'm ashamed to admit I gulped down a *bunch* of miso soup and tamari the other day without looking at the sodium content. I've been paying the price for that 7000 mg in a single day
  • Down another pound. I am starting to wonder if my scale is dying a slow death one pound at a time.
