I'm kinda upset...my weight's been up and down... yesterday it went up a lot and i thought that today it would necessarily go down a lot too because even though saturday i ate deep fried stuff, it was not a lot and wouldn't make me gain almost 3 lbs (yesterday i was up 2, 8 lbs!). I've been pretty much on plan, with very little exception. Today it went down .6 lbs, but i'm wondering why the other 2.2 haven't gone away either!? I don't understand... I don't get TOM due to taking hormones uninterruptly, so it can't possibly be an explanation.

My current weight is 179.6. Comparing to my initial weight, i've lost 1.1lbs, which is good, but not what i thought it would be. Cheyenneb4u, i thank you for updating my numbers. Will be posting mondays and still can't update the numbers using my tablet. Currently i don't own a home computer.

Pretty happy with my progress so far. Of course I'm sure TOM will come along and throw me off any day now.

Well I stayed the same! better than a gain. I think it was the birthday party.

(at least I didn't gain)

Well, after another "lost" weekend I am up 0.2lb. Having said that, I see no more trips or birthday parties in the near future, so I should be able to focus now. 72 more days until I turn 5-0. And still 15lb to go. oy. Off to the gym.

I'm up but I think that it is tom messing with me as he usually does. Plus I could do better with my water. Keeping hope up for next weigh in when tom is gone

Yikes.... I usually like this to go up... helium balloons, pay scale, I.Q. points, grades, social status, luck... but when it comes to my weight, a small increase feels devastating. Especially when it happens in patterns. Inch by inch, there I go. Pound by pound. I'm NOT liking the trend I see. My closet is FILLED with CUTE CUTE clothes that are all about 15 lbs. outta reach for me. I just don't believe that it's lifting weights that has caused the increase. I think... lifting weights makes my appetite huge and therefore... I eat more. Maybe I'll scale back and lift lighter weights.. and do MORE cardio. Although.. lifting weights is what I love. I increased by squat by 20lbs in 4 weeks!! =) Ahhh yeah... and Oh well... I'm keeping my head up. I'll own my numbers... just as soon as I can catch them.

I've not heard of the cucumber and lemon thing. Does it help with water retention?

I went way over my calorie goal for today. Now I'm kicking myself and trying to figure out how to arrange my schedule so I can live at the gym tomorrow. :nono:

I forgot to weigh in Sunday and today, so I'll hit the scale tomorrow. I hate that my number will probably be higher than last week's.

Is my ticker showing up now?

What I was told is that in combination with drinking tons of water.. cucumber being a very water filled veggie is great for filling your stomach, cleansing, and the crunching triggers satisfaction. The lemon is purely a preference for me. To be totally honest, I just TODAY started the special K challenge. I need some strict guidelines to keep me from munching all through the day. The cucumber will be one of my allowed snacks. TOday is day 1 of my Special K eating adventure. So.. I'll keep it up for the next two weeks and I'll be posting my weight.. if it works.. You'll see it in my numbers! (I'm just kind of feeling desperate for some kind of kick start that will help me get motivated) :)

Yes, it is!

So the encouraging news is that this morning my weight is down .4 lbs from yesterday... That's a trend I can live with. This is day TWO of my two week Special K challenge!!! (as in the cereal, not ketamine) =) Although, I did wake up feeling quite hungry. I'm meeting a girlfriend at the gym, then home to make RIGHT CHOICES.... IF you read this in the morning... remember the opportunity you have today to make all the right choices!! You'll be happy by the days end if you do it! =) OKay.. Bye for now.

Cheyenne - how's the special k diet? Is it leaving you hungry?do you count calories with that our just watch serving size?

Now that tom is gone, I think that I'm back on track. I'm currently down. Hope it stays over the weekend

This is the link to add your name and numbers to our spreadsheet.....
https://docs.google.com/a/eagles.edu...Rok/edit#gid=0

The spreadsheet is helpful to track your progress... even if your numbers go down slow... or stall ... or reverse.. It offers a very visual way to see patterns. I know how depressing it can be. Especially when we attach our self worth to our weight. It's nearly impossible to have the two not somehow connected. But before you deactivate your account... Try this for a while! =) Glad you're here!!!
