    soooo...i weighed myself this morning (which is a no-no when you are already feeling sh*tty) and my b-day weekend plus added stress= an almost 4 lb gain?!!? I veered WAY off track and am taking today to really reflect on where I want to be and why and HOW i plan to get there...feeling pretty low :(

    Wish me luck.

    This is awesome that everyone is losing or staying pretty close on track! I was really discouraged when I weighed and I maintained, but now I know why....TOM came yesterday! I'm *hoping* this Friday I'll be down. Just feels like I'm working so hard and being so strict on my calories.

    Good luck you can do this.... This is a great challenge to help you put things more clear and easier. I felt the same way you are feeling last week and yesterday I made one hour to myself and let me tell you it really made me realize everyday is a new day and I have and must be stronger. Your worth a lot as a person so that alone should make you feel strong and able to move forward. I hope this piece of advice helps you.

    Be STRONG this week will be better for you with all the support from our group here I'm sure it'll happen :flowerforyou:

    so it's that TOM, so the scale this morning shows a 3 pound gain. Add to that that I started a graduate course today and am already swamped with work.... so I am not a happy camper. Everything seems to be going wrong today. :-(

    TOM has finally left this month. Thank goodness! I have been bloated and craving carbs something fierce. Hopefully I can get back on track. Love the challenge this week as I need it!

    Hi everyone. Hope the week is going well.
    My daughters birthday today (39) and I just had to have a piece of birthday cake.
    I also had a few other treats today, and am over my 1200 calorie goal by a couple hundred.
    I also did not get in a work out. I know that MFP takes in your job work requirement. How ever
    I work really hard, and have to life a lot of weight each day, and I do not count this as a work out. However
    I feel that I work as hard at work as I would if I was on my tread mill for an hour. If I can take that into consideration
    then I am not over. Friday will tell.
    Come on everyone,, we are all worth it and together we can rock this challenge.
    Good luck one and all.

    Is everyone ready for the scales tomorrow?

    I see that a lot of you are having TOM visit you. I know that's no fun,
    but I don't have that, so when I am up I can not blame it on TOM and know that
    in a few days weight will adjust its self. I have tried hard to stay off the scale this week
    but I have given into temptation the last two days.. and I have not budged. These are the old scales and I really shouldn't pay
    attention to them as I weigh in on my Wii and that is what I should only be doing. How ever it still gets
    a little depressing when you feel you are doing well and scales don't showing it. I guess I will have to hang in there and see if the Wii is better to me tomorrow.

    Hope everyone else is having a good week.. I had lots of time to myself this week doing things I enjoy.

    Good Luck.
    Cheers

    ugh! i am still 3 lbs up!! I haven't been doing too well, with drinking and giving in to my not-so-good cravings, plus I stopped doing the "4 hour body diet" in order to try and get used to eating healthy as a lifestyle not just a quick fix. I'm not going to lie, I do alot better with rules and restrictions apparently lol. I have worked out everyday this week, even on my "rest" day! The scale will not be my friend tomorrow but I am hoping it is just a temporary set back until I figure out my new eating habits lol.

    Have a good one everyone!

    I spent the night in the hospital thanks to my medications changing and bad side effects and heart palpitations, and yada yada yada the list goes on... I'm TWENTY-ONE! WHY IS MY LIFE SUCH A MESS?

    I take 11 medications a day. EIGHT out of those 11 say they have a tendency to cause weight gain. What works for most people, doesn't work for me because of this. And I have no motivation to work harder and harder and harder. :-(

    Tomorrow will show a gain for me. I hope everyone else does better than me. :-)
