    Really hasn't been a good week for me. Up 2lbs but I am under way too much stress at work that I think I am retaining water. I don't eat much and just keep gaining. exercise has been good b/c it clears my head for a little while. hopefully by the end of February I can get back on track b/c the work will be less stressful....right now I just want to quit my job and relax but that doesn't pay the bills.

    You have to have to have to eat your calories! You will not lose weight by not eating. doesnt work that way. i eat more now than i did before i started losing weight. my body thought i was in starvation mode and would pack on the pounds. thats why the food journal is soooooo important. also with your enimia, ask your doctor about what you should be eating to lose weight, maybe a nutritionist would help? my old roomate had a bunch of medical issues and she went to a nutritionist who helped a great deal. she lost quite a bit of weight then.
    hope this helps.:bigsmile:

    Hello my fellow canucks... I haven't forgotten about any of you (check in often, just don't post). Had my doctors appointment yesterday and am happy to say that I've only gained 16lbs so far this pregnancy and am at the 29 week mark!! :love:

    I agree with Jay... Krystle you need to eat! Not eating will only make things worse... plus I don't know how you don't eat when your stressed -- when I'm stressed all I want to do is eat, not necessarily the right things but you get the idea. I think talking to a nutrionalist is a great idea!! I even know one, although she lives in Swift Current.... :tongue:

    Hey everyone. I am down to 136 mark so that is .5 of a pound down. I have brought my water consumption back to where is should be, I had been under way too much lately.

    Remember to eat and log your food, also I find that exercise is a great stress reliever.

    Good luck everyone. Hope it is a great week.

    WoW, 15 lbs in 3-4 weeks is incredible! it took me a year to lose 30 pounds. Great Job!

    This is awesome that everyone keeps posting. Thats the way to keep on top of this!! Great Job Canadians!!

    I am sooooo hungery today! I was really hungery yesturday too, and its not that I'm not eating. I have been eating non stop at work today, yogurts, fruit to go, apple . . . . my metabolism has changed so much its hard to keep up with it. Could it be that I am more thirsty than hungery? I heard that somewhere. Maybe i just need water.

    Krystle, Tasha and I are all from Saskatoon, Sk.

    Jay, they say that try drinking water first because it can sometimes make us think that we are hungry even if we aren't. I find that drinking water is a great trick for making the body stop thinking it is hungry, chewing gum, sugarless of course, also does this, at least for me. :happy:

    Have to agree with madmama... I've also heard that you should try drinking water first. Your tummy 'rumbles" whether its hungry or thirsty. I also try the water first and 9 times out of 10 it's just thirsty.

    Thanks for the help. I drank two bottles of water while i was still at work, and i have to admit that it really did help. I felt better for the rest of the work day and actually got some work done instead of listening to my stomach growling.:laugh:
    AND!!!!!!!
    I went to the mall after work and bought a new pair of jeans!!!! Size 29/32!!!!!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
    I am sooooooooo excited!!!!!! before my journey my size was 33/32, so I am so proud of what I was able to accomplish! Yah for gettin in the 20's!!! WOOOOOOOT!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Yeah Jay, that's great to hear! Thanks for the advise everyone, I will have to try that. I have to admit I am getting better at eating more times of the day, but it still needs work. this weekend I am actually staying in the city so I will be able to do that better compared to weekends away.

    Hey Canadians! I am joining back in. I started last May with a SW of 121.6 and had a little success. Then we moved from Burnaby, BC to Summerland, BC on December 1st and I've gained 10 lbs since arriving. So my new starting weight is 131.6 and now I'm down to 127.2. I'm doing lots of hill walks and watching my calories like a hawk.

    I can't figure out how to get my counter on here.

    Oh, and that picture is from my July '08 wedding when I weighed GW 115.
