    Weighed myself this morning (it's not weigh in day, but it's my TOM and I wanted to see just how many pounds that adds)...I was down 5 pounds...I was psyched! Super excited! Weighed myself again tonight just to make sure I wasn't imagining my weight loss, and I was back to where I was before this morning...I know the time of day you weigh yourself matters, but sheesh...way to get a girl's hopes up! :cry:

    That is why I have my husband hide the scale.:grumble:
    I found myself obsessing over it. Weighing myself several times a day and riding the losses really well and the gains ( which are inevitable ) really bad.

    Don't be to hard on yourself about it though. Hormones and water rentention are killers:mad:

    I am so glad for this thread!

    Passionerica,
    To answer your question yes we did catch the pig that night but not by me personally. She actually had a lot of stamina and when she finally slowed down our friends grabbed her while my husband put her harness on. It was quite a night in Oklahoma. My friend even commented that Jeff Foxworthy could use this in his "you might be a redneck" act.

    I actually weigh at my dr office. That way I am not tempted to weigh too often. It is a pain to go to the office, so far I have gone twice. My next appointment is in 6 weeks, but I'll stop by at the 1/2 way point to weigh. I was so lucky to find a physician who is like a diet buddy. She is sooo encouraging. I don't even have a scale at home anymore.

    So maybe if I just stick with what they recommend before the exercise?

    I'm having a hard time with eating the full 1200 calories I'm supposed to, let alone the ones I earn from working out, but I'm really trying. I think you should too. Seems I've stopped losing weight (not gaining any either though) for a bit, but I think it's because my body is trying to figure out what the heck is going on. LOL And I think I remember reading in another post not to be surprised if you do gain weight for a couple of weeks, until your body gets used to it.

    i just recently hit my second plateau. i've noticed it takes about 3 weeks of persistence to get through it. i agree with ya. sometimes i think my body is saying, "what the hell?"

    I really wish I would have started with my weight from last week, I started at 283 and now am 278 so that's five that I could have charted:grumble: oh well at this weight what's five pounds, and with that said I think I'm going to stick with the before workout calories, I think that if I eat the earned ones that'd be maintaining?:huh:

    I only weigh myself in the morning, and take that number. If you are charting on here, try to pick the same day of the week and the same time of day. What I chose was Thursdays at 7:00am (after my hubby leaves for work):laugh:

    WOOHOO! Count me in! It's nice have others that have a similar amount to lose. Here are my stats:

    HW- 305lbs
    CW- 291lbs
    1st GW- 200lbs
    2nd GW- 150lbs (let's see how I feel here)

    I love this site and just this week I have really stepped it up. I am going to lose 30lbs before my birthday (which is in October) I would love to lose 40lbs though before then.

    Good luck to you all!

    If one eats little or starves themselves, our bodies go into what they call starvation mode, what our bodies developed during the cavemen era when our bodies didn't know if more food was coming so it stored it just in case, when you eat like 5-6 small meals a day, your body think oh, I'll just burn this because I know that in like 2 or 2 1/2 hours I'm going to get more food, just be sure to stay in your range of cals that the site gives you, you can do it! You may have a little to lose, but if I am determined and I have about 120 to get rid of you can surely do it!

    You can do this! I started out at the beginning of Jan needing to lose 70-75 lbs. As of yesterday I'm done 49 lbs, and I'm 44 years old. I've always been big, and I never thought in a million years that I would be able to stick with this. Well guess what? I did and I plan to keep on going. Just take it one day at a time, and log everything that you put in your mouth. I actually log on here, and in a journal that I bought from Barns and Noble.---Keeps me honest---:heart: and :drinker:

    beautifuldisaster, you can do this. With 4 little ones, you have a stressful life. I know what it is like to eat from stress and anxiety. I finally looked at myself at 230lbs. and was disgusted. I have a naturally petite frames. Little tiny ankles and wrists. My sister has a much larger frame. I want to be healthy and it would be nice to be able to shop without stress. Set a realistic goal and take one day at a time. If you feel overwhelmed, log on quick! I have found that grabbing a bottle of water will stop me from eating something I shouldn't.

    Hello beautiful Ladies and Gentleman:flowerforyou:
    I had my grandchildren all week and didn't log my calories or my exercises. I just parked my little red wagon at the curve and today I went back and it was right there where I left it. I was really amased that I hadn't gained back any of the weight I had lost, even so they talked me into making homemade doughnuts, breadsticks and other high calorie stuff.
    So today is a new day and back to the routine, I hope all is well with you....
    Have a great day
    Gabi:drinker:

    Are you working out at all today? That should bring your calorie total up by quite a bit, thus allowing yo to eat more than just cucumbers for dinner. :wink: Even if it weren't enough, I would go ahead and take the rest of the day to make some good choices and not have to skip out on a really good meal. Just think of the A&W incident as a hiccup. :happy: It happens.

    I wouldn't stress it to much. Bad days come. I feel like it is part of the process. Falling down( eating poorly, not exercising) just so you can get back up. I used to be one of those people that when I failed I gave up. I threw in the towel. I beat myself up emotionally and then ate like CRAZY. I do not feel that way anymore. I give myself permission to make mistakes and then I try again at the next meal or the next opportunity. I encourage you to take these past few days as a mistep and then just work hard.

    We seem to be on the same weight loss path according to your numbers so know that you are not alone on this journey.
