I hadn't planned on taking a day off from exercising but I will do that today and start again tomorrow. I guess taking 1 or 2 days off a week won't be so bad.

I'm not going to starve myself anymore. I'm going to start eating more, healthy foods though of course

I'm going to take a laxative tomorrow night. I have IBS so i'm used to this happening, but I was regular for weeks until I started this diet so i guess i'll be staying away from the Slim Fast shakes

lol..I will still go by the scale, but you are right, i do want to look and feel better. Which is the main reason I'm not giving up, because I do look and feel better. I have problems with severe depression and all these endorphins are really helping with that

oopps i meant 16.9 ounce bottles of water

I drink at least 9 16.0 bottles of water per day. Sometimes up to 15. I'm on meds that make my mouth extremely dry so I have to drink a lot of water. And it's been 7 days since i've had a bm.

Ok, so i will try not to freak out if I weigh myself next Saturday and weigh the same or have gained a little. I'm just not a very patient person. I will want to be able to fit back into my size 13 jeans by the end of Feb. So no matter what the scale says next week I'm sticking to dieting and exercising this time.

I disagree with the person who said you cannot see tone and definition in 7 days. I already have a lot of muscle tone I just haven't worked out frequently for a few years but i have never quit working out. And my clothes do fit better and look better than they did 1 week ago. I do drink at least 9 bottles of water a day so…

And by slim fast meals, i mean the shakes. I love those things. The French Vanilla is awesome

I haven't really had money to buy healthy food so I've basically been drinking 2 slim fast meals per day and eating a small dinner. But i have grocery money now so tomorrow I'm going to go shopping and get a lot of fruits and vegetables and some of those Smart One's WW meals. I love those things. So i will start eating…

lol, my mom says basically the same thing

I'm not going to get discouraged because I remember after I had my daughter and before I had an eating disorder i was dieting and exercising for weeks before i actually started losing weight. And my husband is trying to lose weight also so last night I told him we should keep 3 charts..1 for our weight each week, the 2nd…

thanks eeekie, i'll read those

On the plus side, my jeans fit better from all the ab work i've been doing

So thanks girls, i'll try eating a little more and when i weigh in next week hopefully it makes a difference.

I had an eating disorder years back and I ate less than 600 cals per day and worked out excessively and I lost 115lbs in 8 months. But i started gaining it back pretty quickly so I won't do that again

ok ajbeans, thanks, i'll try it

It's just so frustrating. Usually I give up on dieting when something like this happens, but i'm not going to give up this time. I think the weight gain may be from another more personal issue. Since I started my new diet i haven't had a bm.. Too much info right? lol...but maybe that's why

I can tell a difference in my abdomen as far as muscle is concerned, and I know muscle weighs more than fat but I do so much cardio, ya know? And according to this site I'm supposed to eat 1200 calories a day

Oh, and another thing I don't get is that the week before i started dieting and exercising again I lost 4lbs! And i was eating fast food and desert every night. I haven't eaten any fast food and i've only had chocolate once this week

I do the same thing. I will start a diet and start exercising and then I give up quickly.. I lost over 100lbs 7 years ago after I had my daughter but I gained a lot of it back. You can add me if you want. I've only been on here for a few days now and am looking for friends :)

I was diagnosed with bipolar earlier this year and I was diagnosed with severe depression, paranoid schizophrenia 13 years ago. The depression has gotten worse over the past few years and when I'm very depressed I eat a lot and don't exercise. I also have a chronic pain condition (fibromyalgia) and I have a buldging disc…

I need friends too, so feel free to send a request. Over the past 4 years I have gained about 60lbs and I've gained 20 of it in just the past couple of months. The only clothes I have that fit me are from a friend of mine who lost weight recently. I have so many cute clothes and I really want to be able to fit into them…

I can definitely relate. I'm 26 and was overweight from when i was 8 until i was 19. I went from 235 to 125 in 8 months when i was 19 because of an eating disorder. Now I'm back up to 184 and i can't stand how i look

I know. I always seem to go from one extreme to the next. I know i can lose weight in a healthy way but I get impatient and want the weight to come off right away. Then after a week or so of eating so little I get so hungry for a couple of weeks. I need to quit pushing myself to lose weight so quickly because when i do…

It's so much more fun to shop when you are thin. When I shop for clothes now i get so depressed because nothing fits right

About 6 years ago I lost a little over 100lbs in 8 months but I also had an eating disorder. I know how to lose weight but not in a healthy way. I will go from eating less than 800 cals per day for a week or so, lose anywhere from 5 to 10lbs, then i start binge eating and gain double what i lost. It's very frustrating.

I'm 5'4" and today i weigh 184. I just started a diet today and my goal is to get down to 135 to 140lbs

No, I haven't tried water workouts. I had to quit working a little over a year ago because of my pain issues and I don't have a car and no money to sign up for a membership anywhere. I do some light yoga and some cardio that isn't too hard on my body but i just don't have the energy to do it often enough for it to make a…

I'm new on here also. Signed up about 20 minutes ago. I just hope that I can get the support and encouragement I need to be skinny again! I miss all my cute clothes that I can't fit into anymore!
