pissed and frustrated

I'm right there with ya sister.......... :mad:

Don't give up! Keep eating healthy foods, keep exercising, keep focused. Don't give in. Depending on what you ate this weekend your body could be holding water.

Eat lots of fiber, drink lots of water, keep moving! You will see results!

You can't give up. Just need to not have as many bad days. Maybe exercise a bit more.

fasting won't necessarily make you lose weight. your metabolism relies on taking in so many calories to keep it running full steam. if you starve your body, it won't have energy to burn fat and help you lose weight.

waterweight. try not to weigh yourself too often or you will get discouraged when you first start off. set a date per week to weigh yourself instead, that way you will not see the ups and downs during the week and will get an accurate measurement week by week. you will also see where you have overeaten and what it has done to your weekly result. dont give up. we all have our bad days and weight loss takes time. be patient.

So many things affect weight loss, are you close to that time of the month? Have you been eating more sodium than normal? have you been drinking all your water? have you changed your work outs? I can't see your food diary so I really can't tell what you are eating or drinking for that matter.

I can tell you that your body will do what it wants and take you along for the ride, some days are up, some are down but the general idea is in the long run to see a downward spiral. Keep trucking, maybe look at tweeking things you are eating?

Being pissed can be used to your advantage. Just remember two words - BIG PICTURE!

Quite! Here here .....!!

I lost 6 pounds my first week and at the next weeks weigh in, I had gained it all back. Talk about a letdown. Everyone is telling me that I'll be up and down with weight since I'm exercising intensely and dieting...building more muscle now. I'm not going to give up the battle to get rid of this fat. I can honestly say, I already feel so much better in just these few weeks of diet and exercise and can tell a difference the way clothes fit. I dream of the day when I can walk in to any store and not have to worry if their sizes go up large enough for me. All I can say is, don't give up! You'll be so glad you kept with it.

Why bother?? What a thing to say! Why bother!!

Do you really want a list of reasons to 'bother'? Well, I do not know you but I can tell you one big fat reason and that is BEING HEALTHY! It's self respect woman! Be nice to your body and heart, they give you so much pleasure throughout life. Another nice side affect of being healthy is looking AMAZING! And let me tell you, for people like you and me there's only one way to get there. It does seem like hard work, but it WILL get easier, especially when you start seeing results!

I know you're not actually giving up, otherwise you wouldn't have posted at all, right? You're reaching out, which is exactly why MFP is so effective. You did the right thing, we're here for you!!! All I can say is that you need to get right back up on that horse and STICK WITH IT. We all fall off at one time or another. In reality, how could eating better and exercising be bad for you? It could NEVER do you any damage! In a million years! Every single effort you made is counted and very much appreciated by your body. Even if your body might not say 'thank you' and show you its gratitude on the outside or on the scale right away, it IS CHANGING. And that is exactly when you need the most focus, in the beginning. Just make small goals, and try to stick to them, you will see a difference. There are two very different places you can be in one year from now. You could be a fitter, stronger, healthier, sexier you or... the alternative.

Choice is yours! Remember, you're strong! You can do this.

if you consistently eat very few calories, you can loose weight, but the reality of keeping them ALL off is not probable unless you have something/someone to help you learn that weight-loss is 1 thing, but health is another. you cannot fix 3 days of over-eating with one day of fasting, at best you will loose water weight, I have done it before (not on purpose, very busy day) and the scale went down, when I ate normally the next day, my weight went back up to its normal level. not a big deal for me. just do your best and focus on small goals at a time. I started with drinking more water, and that grew to a habit. i learned that salads were good, and all the different things i could put in them, so it's a habit that i eat them at least once a day or i try to. small steps, and a world of patience. not to say you won't want to give up, but it's too early for you to want to do that now. good luck

Do not give up! Everyone here has got you back and believes that you can do it! You can do it, stick to it!
