IM GIVING UP...WHAT GIVES?!?

WELL I AM NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY. I DONT KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO NOT WEIGH IN ON TUE AND WED THIS WEEK AND SEE THAT 215 POUNDS WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT ME AT -5 FOR THE WEEK. TODAY I GOT ON AND IT WAS 220. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. I KNEW WHEN I GOT UP THIS AM IT WOULDNT BE GOOD. IT STARTED TO GO UP YESTERDAY AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WATER WEIGHT BUT NO. SO TODAY MY WEIGH IN SHOWS NOTHING AND I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND. WHY SHOW ME 215 FOR 3 DAYS THEN GO UP 5 LBS FOR MY MONTH WEIGH IN. TODAY I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP. I AM SO

IV CUT OUT THE SODA, I COUNT ALL MY CALORIES DRINK MY WATER.....
I CANT SEEM TO GO TO THE BATHROOM TMI I KNOW...I TOOK FIBER PILLS, DRINK WATER, TAKE COLON CLEANSERS, AND EVEN DRINK TEA THAT HELPS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM NOTHING...AND NO TOM TODAY SO WHAT GIVES?!??

I promise u...if u do the right things and ONLY weigh in ONCE per week...you will see results
I know we all want to jump on the scale as soon as possible and see out hard work pay off
BUT your weight really does fluctuate and the scale can play nasty tricks on you

Yes, don't be too disheartened...for a while when I was starting out I would weigh myself after every gym session, every trip to the bathroom, I just got obsessed with knowing my weight all the time. Now if you only weigh yourself once per week and stick to that, you're gonna find it more accurate and less disappointing!

do not weigh in every day. weigh yourself once a week on the same day and time every week!

as far as your bathroom problem...be careful with the teas and fiber pills and everything...your system can become dependent on them. make sure you're eating enough fruits and vegetables, and it can help to go vegetarian for a couple weeks...or at least cut back on meat and dairy because it can stop you up. also, if you don't take acidophilus/prebiotics, take it. it will take a while to help, but it does help...take the highest dose recommended on the bottle, and then cut back after a few weeks! large doses of vitamin c (like 10,000mg per day) can also help. constipation is an ugly problem and can lead to uglier problems because you essentially have toxins sitting and absorbing into your body. as a rule of thumb, you should go #2 at least every 18 hours!

keep going, quit weighing yourself all the time. you can do it!

Oh girl I feel your pain! I am 25 and have pretty much the same goals as you. It is SOO so hard but Don't give up! I have lost about 30 pounds, and have run into the SAME feeling. The reason you havent lost any weight this week is more than likely it is your time of the month causing you to retain about 5 pounds?Maybe.. But be sure you are drinking enough water. Your body could be holding on to stuff you dont want to keep. If you are not peeing, then you are not driking enough water! It could be a lot of things. It is really important to only weigh in once a week. Your weight will go up and down throughout the week and can discourage you. I hope you get a fresh start tomorrow and don't give up!

weight is too easily affected for you to take too seriously.
instead, measure yourself and judge your progress by how you feel.

ps if you don't type in all caps, it makes things easier to read

are you willing to make your journal public so we can see what you are eating?

kimber...now we can agree! haha

Hun, you should only be weighing yourself ONCE a week!! Your driving yourself nuts, and doubting your goals so quickly.

I weigh myself every monday morning before I eat breakfast..and I have lost 3 lbs each week. Also, weighing in once a week gives you something to be anxious for!

Your body puts on weight and takes it off everyday...you can be up 3 lbs one day, and down 2 the next. It fluctuates all the time!

Dont give up, keep doing what your doing, it seems like your on the right path!!

:flowerforyou:

haha that damn scale!! Throw it out hahaha...or lock it up for the week!

Everyone is so sweet with all the support.....im so stressed!

stress makes you retain EVERYTHING (i.e. water and poo)!!! try to relax...yoga works really well for me.

The way you should look at is that you still have 2 months to reach your goal of 200lbs, that means about a 2-3lb loss per week, don't worry if one week you stall, it happens!
