Weigh-in Wednesdays
Replies

Well I have weighed in and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I have worked hard, ate pretty well and exercised a lot and I still managed to put on half a pound.
I really thought that I would loose at least 2lbs, especially being 1st week back to it and having worked hard at all my classes.
The only thing I can think is that I have ate a lot of pasta this alst week and that has contributed. I am not clued up on the sciene of carbs and protein etc, but thats what i am going to blame it on :-(
I have felt so much better this week, less bloated and then the scale happens.
Oh well another week of hard work and I am going to try and lay off the carbs.
Good luck to everyone else.

Rachie78sw..I know how you feel that was me last week, it is so frustrating when you feel you have done well.
I weighed in today and stayed the same, so that was not what I was hoping for but hey it's better than putting on. I think I will give it a go for another week then if still no loss may quit...........but I will see what the week brings. If any of you can make any suggestions by looking at my diary it would be truly appreciated.
:sad:

racie78sw: Carbs can definitely be to blame. You may not feel bloated, but carbs actually cause a lot of water retention if you eat too many of them. Granted, you NEED carbohydrates to fuel your body (extreme low carb diets like Atkins can actually cause a lot of health problems), make sure you're not going over your limit for the day. Your body might also just be adjusting, since you said it's your first week back at it. Give it some time. Just stay strong and keep to your plan. The weight WILL come off!
tjbeer: You're definitely right...staying the same is better than putting weight on! But I understand your frustration. Don't quit!! I don't know you, but I am sure you are a lovely person and deserve to be healthy and comfortable in your own body. Keep it up! I took a look at your diary, and it looks to me like you're not eating enough breakfast. Did you know that numerous studies show that those who eat breakfast actually have a better chance of losing weight (see http://www.womenfitness.net/top10_no_skip_breakfast.htm for a snippet)? Instead of eating a bunch of bread at once, try eating maybe one slice with breakfast, along with some good protein, like an egg (or egg whites...I think they taste exactly the same, just lower in calories) or a little bit of peanut butter. Maybe some yogurt instead of that milk? It's more filling, and calcium is also important for weight loss. Breakfast ought to be one of the most hefty meals of your day...trust me, you'll eat less throughout the day as a whole! You might also want to use the tools on MFP to calculate your BMR. You might be eating too little, believe it or not. Now I am not a doctor (although I am working on becoming one!), so if all else fails, consult your doc! He knows your needs the best. Stay at it! You can do it!!!0 -
Thanks collegegirl for your support. I will keep at it for a bit longer. The trouble is I have already lost 70lb doing another weight loss programe and was amazed by the results of that on a weekly basis, now I have another 10lb to lose which I know will be the hardest to loose, but still want to be amazed!!!
Thanks again. How do you do this week??

Rach, don't fret...I've recently gone thru the exact same scenerio, and low and behold, I skip two days workout, eat fajitas, cheese, and cereal all week (but no pasta) and I see a drop! Go figure!Well I have weighed in and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I have worked hard, ate pretty well and exercised a lot and I still managed to put on half a pound.

Don't know if my body is playing tricks on me or if I got myself so confused that it's just reacting....
we'll see what next Wed produces :explode:0 -
Great job, everyone! I managed to lose another pound this week, but I'll probably gain it all back this week considering TOM is in town and I want to eat everything in sight, even if I'm not hungry. Good luck to everyone this week, and I'll see you all back here on Wednesday!0

Well it's wednesday again and this week was a good one I lost a pound and have been given some excellent feedback from MFP. I asked the question if scar tissue weighs heavier than healthy tissue and people reckon it takes at least 6 months for a person to loose weight after an op. So I am now more positive and looking forward to september when hopefully the post op weight gain will just drop off...YIPPEE.
See you all next week. Hope you all did well.

I"d like to join this weigh in. I"ve been on mfp for quite awhile but keep losing/gaining wt. I"ve lost a total of 15 lbs from my highest wt BUT my wt is climbing back up. I exercise (been exercising for nearly 30 yrs) but its the eating that gets me and I have a desk job. Maybe this weigh in will help me stay focused!
Today I weighed 174.6 (gosh I hate putting that on cyber space!)0 -
Last weigh in: 194lb
Today: 188lb
That's a 6lb in a week.

This morning I weighed 174.6 same as last week, I lost a couple of lbs by the end of last week but gained them back over the weekend. Yesterday was a crappy day, all I wanted to do was eat! I hate days like that. THis heat/humidity is driving me nuts. I am sticking with my exercise though even in this heat! (trying to think positive on this weight loss journey) Taking my great nephew out for a birthday dinner tonight. He wants to go to i-hop0

At least Connie48 you did not put on that in itself is a bonus and you have good weather, even though it's humid. It has done nothing but rain here for a fortnight...so much for summer!!!
This week was a good week for me, as I lost 1lb and have lost yet another half an inch off my waist. It is so great to finally see some changes. I now feel my hard work is paying off. YIPPEE:drinker:
See you all next week.

I do find that if I haven't lost weight and measurements have dropped that gives me the boost I need and makes me motivated again.

174.6 same as last week, crap! On a positive note a couple of people have asked me if I"ve lost wt so something is changing! I've been working my butt off in the gym BUT I have a desk job so I'll have to tweak my calories a little more.0

130 for me - no loss no gain. Am happy with that lol0

It's great that people are noticing connie48 So things must be moving in the right direction. A good news, despite staying the same.
I am delighted I have lost another half a pound this week....which is delightful.
:happy:

congrats tjbeer! In spite of not losing wt, I"m feeling really good! Had a couple of bad days (exhausted no energy) Feeling good is something to be happy about too!0
