Okay most of this was probably due to the week off that I had ( the heat and the icecream) but it didn't help that weigh in day was also day one of aunt flo's visit. Going to pick up my boot straps and do better food wise this week and hope for a better weigh in next week.

Squeeze in a workout
If you have the time, use your lunch break to fit in a quick jog, yoga class, or gym session. Breaking up your day with some exercise will boost your metabolism and leave you reenergized for the rest of the afternoon.
Drink a glass of green tea: This healthy beverage has been shown to increase metabolism.
Go for a walk:Take a break from the office, and take a walk around the block. You will think more clearly and come back to the office rejuvenated — the quick dose of vitamin D doesn't hurt either!
Take time away from the screen: Step away from your monitor, and focus on enjoying the meal in front of you. Distracted eating (even if you're just scanning the web) can cause you to eat more, eventually leading to weight gain.
Hit the stairs: If your office building has a stairwell that is easily available, challenge yourself to take a few floors. You'll get blood flowing, and your heart pumping, plus it's a quick way to burn calories without actually getting outside.
Skip sugary drinks: Cut calories by saying goodbye to sugary juices and sodas. Certain drinks pack as many calories as your meal, plus they can leave you feeling foggy or jittery.
Make your lunch: Instead of ordering in, take a few minutes to make your own sandwich or salad, or heat up last night's leftovers. Eating homemade meals will save calories and money.

So true on the homemade meals and packing your lunch. I think my being unprepared is what my biggest obstacle was. So much easier planning ahead and now my kids are in on it so it has become a family affair0

Checked my food journals and found that I have consumed way to few calories and just a bit more sugar than needed. I love fruit and that does count in the sugar. I tend to stay the same weight for a couple of weeks then, the scale moves.0 -
Matter of Simply Eliminating
Losing weight may be a matter of simply eliminating that large soda pop that you pick up on the way to work every day or eliminating the bedtime snack every night or taking the stairs at work.
It's time to set aside excuses. Make exercise a priority in your day with these simple suggestions.
•Break activity into shorter periods of time, such as 10-minute walks.
•Identify current time wasters, such as sitting on the couch and watching TV.
•Plan exercise into your daily schedule, as you would an appointment or meeting.
•Reframe your concept of exercise to include many everyday activities, such as walking the dog.
•Give yourself permission to make exercise a priority. MC

Hang in there Anne, the scale will move. Take a look at your food diary and be sure you are not eating to many carbs or sugar.0

Ok. I have for the last 2 days been eating carbs and sweets, etc. as part of phase 1 for the HCG diet.
I am sick I feel so bloated, irritated and angry. I hope it will be worth the crap I put my body through.
I will use the HCG drops with a 1200 calorie diet. It is recommended for most only eat 500/800 calories, but I am very active and I am going by what the book says to do. We will see in a few weeks. I can wait for tomorrow and hope all this junk quickly leave my body. ahhhh0 -

Ugh I hate to see a gain after having a nice loss last week, but I sort of expected it. I didn't get as much exercise last week and I ate out more than I would have liked. I expect a gain for next week since this is my birthday weekend and I have plans to eat at my favorite burger place.0 -
