Aiming for 198 by end of Feb?? (would like to be 196!!??)
Oh dear!! I really dont know what I did wrong this week but it helps to know I'm not the only one!!!
I also thought about fudging the weigh-in today but I'm glad I didn't after all it is a lifestyle change for me too!!!
Am blaming gain today on TOM as weighed in on Sun and had lost 1.8lbs!!!
This week will def be better!!! Although I think I'll find the challenge tougher this week!!!0 -

Depressing week. My scale seemed to jump up to 197 the day after I weighed in last week for no reason, and I spent half the week trying to get rid of that. Then I've been in bed for the past 3 days with the flu...0 -

I was very pleasantly suprised when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I had lost .7 of a pound considering my lack of work over the weekend. I was afraid that it would be going up instead. It may not be a big loss but at least it's something and it's motivation to work a little bit harder this upcoming week. The challenge last week was a great motivator to make sure I did at least something every day, and I'm looking forward to adding more miles thanks to the challenge this week!
Great job to all of you with losses this week! :happy:
To those of you (myself included) who didn't see the number that they wanted on the scale this week, keep up the hard work and we can do it! It's a lifestyle change and we can't expect to see the results we want all the time, it's all about sticking to our commitments and eventually it will happen!0 -

I got a big surprise when I went to my weigh in today (I weigh in on the machine at my pharmacy since I dont own scales) I lost loads but I think it is due to "that time of the month" last week meaning i only lost 0.7lb the previous week.
I am so happy but know I'm going to struggle to lose anything near as much next week!0 -

Last week was an okay week, and my first complete week using MFP, so there were some insights to go along with that and things I wanted to change for this week anyway. But I still felt like I was doing really well, despite not knowing what the scale might say to support that (or not).
Then Superbowl Sunday happened. I was actually doing really well, had a very low-cal lunch in anticipation of snacking all night. Would have actually stayed within my calories if one of the girls hadn't made individual-size desserts. But they were SO good, and except for that, I had eaten far fewer calories than anticipated, and was already planning a really hard day at the Y on Monday to burn it all off. So I figured, bring on the decadence, it's just one night.
Then Monday happened. I've been really good since I started watching what I eat about NOT eating emotionally the way I have in the past. Well, Monday I had a bit of a break down, went over my calories (by another full day's worth, I'm ashamed to say). Also, I had a rather traumatic drive back to town (went to visit friends 3 hours away for the game). No accidents, no inclement weather, just a lot of little things that in my already fragile state added up and made me really not want to get back in the car. So... no going to the Y. I should have done at least some exercising at home, but I didn't (for the same BS reasons that I shouldn't have ordered and eaten an entire Pizza Hut P'zone, but did).
So, now I just need to take all the things that I learned about myself that first week on MFP that I was going to improve upon anyway, and just work twice as hard at it. Yes I still lost a pound this week, but the repercussions from the last couple days could easily follow me to next week's weigh in, if I let them.
I've heard that if you are an emotional eater, one of the things to do is to change your way of thinking, and instead of turning to food when you get down, just use it as extra motivation. I just need to tell myself, "This weakness is part of the reason I'm fat; I won't let it control me anymore." Unfortunately I really do my best workouts at the Y. My Wii Fit doesn't do nearly as much for me as it used to (mainly I think I'm just bored with it), and the roads are in no shape for getting out and walking. So if I'm feeling too emotionally distraught to drive (or I'm stuck at home with no car), I can't really take advantage of that negative energy the way I'd like to.
Hmm, this turned into quite a rant, didn't it?0 -

Great message! It's good to know how many of us struggle with the same problem. I'm gonna keep fighting cause this is one battle I want to win! Having to be honest is helping me because I think I've always "cheated" before by not counting everything I put in my mouth!0

Hey I can't see your weigh in - just doing the chart. Can you add your stats for this week?
Sorry to anyone who wasn't on the chart last week but you won't be included.0
