    19 lbs is nothing to be down about! That's the glory of being a woman though isn't it? We bloat! My weight can fluctuate 5 lbs or more a day. It can be depressing but I just have to remind myself to stay positive. Hope you feel better!

    I did the exact same thing yesterday!! It is frustrating when you work hard and eat right and don't feel like you are getting anywhere for it. I figure I will just follow the saying "fake it 'till you make it", and even though I feel awful a cute outfit can brighten my mood :)

    Hang in there. It will get better. This time of the year and cold weather is hard to keep motivated in.

    Always realize that it didnt take a few weeks to get where you were, it wont take a few weeks to get where you want to go. Never let it get you down, but bring you up that you will not go down without a fight, you will stand up, put your shoes on, and you will take the fight to the next level.

    Girl don't worry you will come out of it!! We are all having ups and downs. Just keep yourself focused on your goal and try not to worry about a bad day or two. It WILL get better. I try to keep myself busy....go dancing or for a walk in the fresh air. Hang in there!

    You are truly doing an amazing job!! Look how far you have come. 19 pounds is a huge accomplishment. Just remember we all have our ups and downs. As long as we have more ups then downs, that's all that matters.

    You have failed only when you quit trying. Until then, you're still in the act of progression. So, never quit trying and you'll never be a failure

    if your diary is accurate, then you are probably hungry.

    ^^^This. Your logging is inconsistent and I only counted 2 days you were over 1000 calories....most times you were WAY under. Your body needs you to feed it a little more.

    Is your sodium intake high? Its my understanding it can make you bloat. Hope you feel better.

    Take each day one at a time. We all have times we feel discouraged and this time of year is always hard because of the cold dreary days. You are doing great. Always remember that tomorrow is a new day.

    Girl, you're eating less than 1000 calories. You're hungry! Feed your body. Bloat and sadness will go away, promise.

    Looks to me as though you are half way there. The bloating comes and goes. perhaps you have eaten something your body is just having a harder time digesting? Try some flushing with water or stuff that is easy on the tummy. Either way, keep your head up and keep your eyes on the prize. Keep your goal in focus. You have come along way so far.

    No less than 1200 cals and should be more like 1500. You have to have fuel to feel happy. If you live in an area that is cloudy a lot this time of year you might want to do some research on Vit d calcium and magnesium.
