RED HIGH HEELS GROUP(WEEK 1&1/2)

GOOD JOB CHRISSYH!!! :drinker:

Ugh weigh in did NOT go good for me. I gained 4 ounces. Went from 130.4 to 131.2. Hopefully it's just water weight. Although I DID lose a 1/2 inch in my butt!! That's good and bad...I like my butt, it's cute and little, I don't want to lose it-it's my GUT that needs to go and is being stubborn!!!! :sad: :mad: Back to 2-a-day workouts!! I WILL lose weight...I WILL lose weight!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

You went up four ounces. It isn't necessary to start working out more. It cound be you have more "waste" in your body. You'll probably lose those four ounces next time you go to the bathroom. You're pretty close to your goal weight like me so you can't expect to lose every week. Sorry, if it seems like I'm lecturing. I just don't want you to worry about the four ounces when it's probably not fat gain. :flowerforyou:

LOL haisangirl and jbuerer!!!! Sticky bowel syndrome...now that just sounds sooo uncomfortable!! :laugh:

You're probably right, jbuerer, however it's been 2 or 3 weeks since anything has really changed so that tells me I need to be MUCH stricter on my food (I threw out a whole plate of whole wheat cookies this morning to avoid more temptation :sad: ) and push myself harder....which kinda makes me mad because I've really been busting my bum these last two weeks working out. :grumble: ah well...just keep swimmin', eh?

Have you thought about doing the opposite? I've heard that having a day were you go over your calories can help break a plateau or you could try calories cycling. It could also be that you end up with all of your exercise calories to eat at night. You could try planning your exercise so that you can space the calories though out the day. Personally, I eat higher calories every day and use exercise for mose of my deficit and I've never really had a plateau. Just some suggestions that may help. I want to reach your goal too! :bigsmile:

Have you changed what you're doing - sometimes a totally new exercise will help....if you've been walking - add jogging, if you've been on the elliptical - run or swim......just some thoughts.

I gained 3 pounds since last week. This past weekend I just ate alot and no working out. Oh well.

Last night was wonderful! We went to the new irish place, and the food was ok. I was somewhat limited on my choices, because with it being our anniversary and all, I didn't want to eat something that he could taste the rest of the night (lol). We ordered a cheese stuffed, breaded, deep fried mushroom appetizer to split. They were ok, I ate one, then gave my other one to DH. Then I had tomato basil soup and soda bread. The soup was delish, and the bread was yummy too. I was behavin' though, and only ate half my piece of bread, again giving the other half to DH. I ordered shepherd's pie (wanted to order bangers and camp or corned beef and cabbage, but worried about the whole breath thing... lol) for my main. Ate about a quarter of it. The potato topping was sooooo creamy! But the ground beef they used was a bit on the greasy side, so I was cautious. We didn't order any dessert (I had made a strawberry-rhubarb pie before going out, so we knew that was waiting at home). Then went to the bar and had a good time listening to the music. Got home about 1, and didn't have any of the pie....

It's about 11:30, and still haven't eaten anything yet today (only rolled out of bed an hour ago, and had to work on the kids' chore charts, since they all got home today...) Weigh in wasn't too bad, considering that my sodium had to be pretty high yesterday with the diet soda for dinner and at the bar, plus whatever was in the food at the restaurant. Was up a half pound, but not sure if it's water or what...

Checking in... my scale doesn't have ounces so I can't be very precise, but... I'm not gaining... NO changes here. :ohwell: There's always next week, right? lol

Try taking your measurements. I hit a mini plateau a few weeks back and started taking measurements, turned out I didn't lose any weight but I lost inches, everywhere!!!
