I am not celiac but I have some sort of gluten intolerance and gave up gluten last week and after four days lost eight pounds of bloating and fluid retention. Makes me wonder what makes me eat it.

Great job!

bump to hear the outcome

Jen I am glad things are ok. I am happy to hear that others are struggling too. I am up 2 pounds from the start:( I am hoping to just maintain until after New Year's when I can get really strict again.

weight and measurements are no change. Not doing very good with this challenge:(

A couple of strategies for Thanksgiving is to only choose one or two high calorie choices, small portions, half your plate with fruit and veggies. You can still enjoy the day without feeling like you ruined all your hard work.

Weight this morning 159. At least the same after traveling a bit:(

Sounds like you are making the better choices and need to just tune him out.

I am going to change my goal to 155 by the end which is up from where I was before summer but I seem to be having lots of challenges and need to focus on getting back to that. I don't usually do the challenges because I do an intense workout every morning with two of my peeps but this week's challenge sounds like something…

Sorry Jenn I was away this week and didn't get to weigh, will weigh in next week.

Yup, it is a lifestyle we need to work at forever. Very daunting.

Thanks for doing this Jen:)

Ate breakfast every day but didn't do so well with the physical challenge. A new week:)

159 again, I seem to be stuck.

If you control the portions you will also control the calories. Either way will work fine, whatever is easiest for you.

thanks for the support:)

159 again

From Vermilion. There are lots of Albertans on here.

Will weigh tomorrow. 500 pounds???? That is something:) Keep it up everyone.

oops I forgot about measurements. waist 74 hips 97 everything else the same Happy week everyone:)

159 Can't seem to get the scale to move past where I started:( Oh well, it is the start of another week.

I do the same thing but I think of it as weight not gained. If I wasn't putting the effort into losing then I would have just gained the weight, not gained and lost, gained and lost.

159:)

Thanks I have looked at it with a new light today and it really is her problem, not mine. I am not going to give her the power to affect how I treat myself:)

It was pretty intense and I am glad that my employer witnessed the whole thing. I think I will look into our abuse policy and make a complaint. totally unprofessional and shameful! Still very distressing to be on the other end of it:( Thanks for your support:)

Have been having a great week and lost all the weight I gained on my recent trip(daily weigher) and stepped on the scale this morning to find it isn't working. Hope its just batteries. I had a terrible run in with a co-worker this afternoon and she attacked me hard core in front of my boss and two physician colleagues! I…

"Motivation is a decision not a feeling" You need to push yourself to get started and then it gets easier. good luck

160 this morning. Lost almost all that I gained while out of town last week. Maybe there will soon be an actual loss next week.
