@wsandy8512 & @mistymeadows2005 - Thank you for your input and I totally hear what you are saying. When I saw 30 years old...thank you I am actually an old cow, 45 to be exact... Back to the topic, truly, I have tried upping my calories in my journey several times and the outcome has always been gaining more weight and before I know it, I am back up to 67kg. I had my 2 kids pretty late as my hubby and I wanted to ensure that we had enough money to start a family. So, I was in my early 30s when I had my kids. After breastfeeding my last baby till she was nearly 3 (before she went to kinder), I started on my weightloss journey. I have done almost every single diet you can find. I even joined the gym so that I can attend the exercise classes. No matter how hard I tried, I failed. My highest ever was at 67kg and whenever I get down to my 60 and sometimes 59s, somehow, hell break loose and before I know it, I am back up to 67kg. I eat more calories, eat less calories, exercise more, exercise less and now, I am even not exercising at all as somehow, not exercising allowed me to get pass my plateau, strange but true. I will just take one step at a time and just keep changing my routine till something works. Anyway, I ended up eating up to 1462 calories for yesterday as we had an impromptu farewell dinner.

@volgirl1322 & @LiLee2018 - Thanks . You know, when I was young, my Grandma always tell me that I must always watch out for other women. Somehow, some women are very nasty to other women and never supportive at all. You will be very lucky if you can find a handful of genuine nice honest supportive girlfriends who will be friends for life. I never understood her till I graduated and went to work. OMG, it was a vicious world, I tell ya... It was an eye opener indeed. Long story short, a group of us girls were trying to comfort our senior who was in the mid of a divorce as she caught him cheating with one of their friends. Anyway, instead of being there for her, one of the girls in our group took the opportunity to comfort that "hubby" and ended up being his girlfriend and then wife. That didn't last long as they ended up in a divorce too. I am very thankful that all the girls here are so nice and supportive.

@asgentr & @LadyBlanks - Thank you I do agree that we must put our health first. It even better if I can stop weighing myself every day but somehow, my head gets so messed up that it drives me nuts..lol

Week 38
CW: 59.4kg

Thank you for all your posts Had an impromptu dinner yesterday as one of our friends tended her resignation and will be following her partner to another state. All of us had fish & chips in her favourite cafe. So, in total, I had 1462 calories yesterday and I know Mr Scale will tell me so this morning. I was telling them about the 2 girls at the jeans section and OMG, the stories that some of our friends shared were worse than that 2 girls. I think I really am like a little frog living under a coconut shell. However, we all agree that no matter what, when we girls hear it, it does sting.

We had one of the coldest night yesterday and we were alerted with frost warnings on our mobile phones. All of us have are now wearing our winter clothing

@volgirl1322 - Thank you Yes, even in my little town in the countryside, we have a bunch of women who are just plain mean and they spend so much money to make themselves model skinny, wearing branded clothes, make-up, taking diet pills,etc. I tend to stay away from them so I am drama free...lol. Currently, I am struggling but I am hanging on.

@mistymeadows2005 - Thank you Snow? We have some snow here too...not in my little town but up in the mountains. Some of them have even gone skiing..lol. I have been trying to up my calories and Mr Scale has indicated that its not the right decision. I will just take it one day at a time and change it along the way.

@LiLee2018 - Thank you Lots of these "not so good" things happen here...the stories which I hear and read in the newspapers are just so horrid. I am from a small country town and when I went to the city, I was shocked and horrified. But, after living in the city for ages, I got used to it and just MYOB. Now, I am back to my little country town. Not as bad as in the city, but you still have dramas..lol

Week 38
CW: 59.6kg (gained )

Good afternoon OMADers

I have been trying to see if it works if I up my calories but I guess its the same old thing... if I eat more than 1200 calories, I will put on weight. That means, from this try out, I have put on 1kg. So, from next week onwards, I will just eat around the calories which I am use to and see how it goes. My body is just so different from others. I have been on group fasts, group dieting, etc and it always shows that whatever works on the majority, it just doesn't work on me. Been to the doctors for check-ups but nothing is wrong with me as per the doctors.
