depressed
 

just venting i guess.....
i am embarking on a flight to TN tomm a.m. til monday night and am depreesed bc i set a holiday weight goal for myself to stay at and i didnt expect to be there already but somehow 2 lbs magically appeared from nowhere so now im sure after this weekend i will be over where i wanted to stay at and im sure as hellnot gonna say no to something if i really want it

I feel ya
 

I set this ridiculous Christmas goal before Thanksgiving and have had to modify it (twice), and am still struggling! I binged over Thanksgiving, thankfully only gaining a pound. But since then I haven't straightened myself out and have gained another. So my new goal is to lose those 2 lbs ASAP and maintain at 169 until New Years.

To those of you doing well with your goals I praise you, and kind of worship you. Your willpower over the holidays is remarkable.

thanks lynne.....
it just makes me p/o bc ikve no idea where these 2 lbs came from this week which as i said puts me at where id planned to stay til jan but now i know im gain over the weekend bc my bil is like nashvilles emeril of desserts plus im sure we will eat out at least one night. thanks for listening.

OK I feeling both of you. I was bad over Thanksgiving and gained 1lb. I have been good all week exercising, water, staying in my points and today I stepped on the scale to take a peak and was up 2lbs. I dont know what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that TOM is coming to visit and I havent realized its almost time.

im with you anna.... im up 2 also and i havent cheated any more than i usually do so im wondering if my screwed up hormones is about to start another cycle bc ive got that pms feeling. try to hang in there k?

I havent cheated at all. I think it has got to be water retention. Im sticking to it no matter what. So you keep your head up and stick to it too! We will see a loss sooner or later.

Have you guys tried the Wendy plan yet?

thanks anna!

i kinda already do the wendy plan....its what i meant by 'not cheatin more than usual'

oh my god..... this sucks! i just wi just for the heck of it even though i never wi at night and even though i didnt do it under the same 'conditions'(was fully clothed on a full tummy) i am estimating a 2 1/4 gain since friday on top of my 2 1/2. this bites!!!!! if im correct(i subtracted 3 from the number i saw for clothes and food) where i am right now puts me slightly below the limit i set for myself this season and its not even xmas yet! i still have alot of days i need to get through b/f im in the clear.

im praying maybe in the mornin' ill be less than im estimating. thank god i can resume my exercise routine tomm!

I think it's important to remember that you can have treats over the holidays and still stay on plan. Just schedule them into your points.

Sometimes a few pounds can just mean water weight or it could mean that your sodium intake is up. For me, when it's my TOM, I usually gain a pound just before, so its not unusual.

Hang in there!

I gain 2 on TOM and then I also realized all my "treats" we adding up. Stopped treats altogether for a while and going back to working out a bit!

thanks guys.....
turned out it was all clothes and water cuz its only 1/2 lb. however, that gives me a 3 lb gain for 2 eeksbc last week i was up 2.5 dunno why. plus i realized if tom is on sched, this week is pre-tom
