Keeping it "REAL" humbly changing ticker to show weight gain

NewLIFEstyle4ME

Was so proud to reach my first half stone lost, must have gotten a little over confident with portion sizes or calories burned during workouts. It was a little discouraging to gain and frustrating that it's now going to take longer to reach my ultimate goal, but I suppose I get to achieve the first half stone all over again :laugh:
This thread made me proud of myself for being honest rather than angry for gaining, a better state of mind surely!
Here's to a new day :drinker:

Ya know, that is TREMENDOUS what you've said and something I didn't consider but because you posted this, I will EVER keep in mind--when you said: ... "must have gotten a little over confident with portion sizes or calories burned during workouts."

Hmmmmm....this is essential for me/us to remember/keep in mind. Thank you for posting!!!!:flowerforyou:

WAH!!!!!!

Had to back that bad (and I mean BAD) boy back down again today....

T.O.M. has come around, rearing it's depressing and funky old head round and brought 2.6 pounds of YUCK with him. So....I've decreased my pounds lost by that amount. It makes me but at the same time because I'm a gonna keep it REAL, no matter how much I HATE IT

I keep my ticker accurate! I'm only lying to myself if I don't change it. It's a reminder that were just human

I didn't like it one bit, but I corrected mine today to Maybe seeing that smaller number lost will help me in the long run!!!

You did the right thing. I know it's humbling. I've been at this for 2 months, tomorrow actually. Each month I plan to adjust the ticker to be "real". Like right now I am up 2 pounds from what my ticker says, so if tomorrow the weight does not change I will adjust it and move on to month three. Each month it goes down so that is all that matters, but it is frustrating! No reason to not be real with us, your only cheating yourself out of the joy of seeing it go down again, right?

I sssoooo have the same dilemna. I reached my goal and re-calculated my calories from 1200 to 1610. I haven't yet eaten 1610 but I have gained 4 pounds. I really don't know what to do!!!! I weigh in on Friday and will record my true weight but should I stay at 1600 or find a happy medium?

I have only just begun my journey last week, but plan to keep it "real" also. I have played these games with myself before and the only person you are fooling is yourself. Great topic!

when I have weight gain or weight loss my ticker will show it. I also like to take accountibility and keep it real!
