Tracy, I feel for you. It is tough, and I don't understand how our bodies behave sometimes. No, I don't understand how you can weigh what you weigh, keep calories to 1200 day, exercise and the scale not drop. But I believe you because the same thing has happened to me in the past. You must have a slower metabolism, as some do, and it's d***** unfair! Sometimes dieting feels like torture ... I guess you just have to go by the way your clothes feel, as I'm sure your body is "shaping up." Just keep doing your best, and I'm betting one of these days you will drop 2 or 3 lbs. over a couple of days!!!
I have not eaten well for 4 to 5 days ... traveling and dieting are always very difficult for me to combine. I will weigh in tomorrow, and let you all know the damage, but I imagine I've gained back 2 to 3 of my *lost* 5 lbs.
Lisa, good for you, reaching your goal this week! I'm very happy for you, and am pulling for you everyday! I hope you will fend off the food demons better than I have, as you travel back here to the states. (Don't depend on the fact that you know how to do it when you get back home; you can't always accomplish that, at least I can't, and it's easier not to gain to begin with, you know! )
Hope we will hear from maeminglea and losing sometime today! for all of us!
