UGH THIS WEEKEND

I took the weekend off from exercising because we had to paint and do yard work... we are getting the house to rent out. We are buying another one. I know "that time of the month" is within the week but I feel like I have gained a ton and then I stepped on the scale... oooopppssss. It said I have gained 5 lbs. I hate this rollercoaster. :sad:

Your weight probably fluctuates about 5 pounds or so, plus you were painting and doing yard work so its unlikely that you gained that much... remember there are 3500 calories in a pound. Don't worry just stick with it!

Hi Proctor:

THis happened to me last week too, where I gained wt. instead of lost and though I knew I had not exericsed or ate as good as usual, I was so major bummed. But, when we go through these tough battle diet times, it is so impt. to not give up at all or the hard work to lose some will be totally gone. I have been major stressed after my dog's third surgery and staying close to her - but, once again, we can always find excuses to give up. DO NOT GIVE UP.....we can all work to reach our goals and at times when we feel we will never lose a pound, it is impt. to eat fruit or other healthy choices rather than chips, etc.

Hang in there OK!

Thank you all... I'm feeling alittle better. I'm sure once the water retention goes down I'll be back where I started... just a funky weekend... Gotta get back up tomorrow and continue this journey.
