Frustrated - no weight loss in 2nd week
I did really well and lost 7 lbs in the first week. I know this is unrealistic and it is probably water weight, but have lost nothing in the 2nd week.

Gained 4 pounds this weekend!
I am so mad at myself! How did I gain 4 pounds in 2 days? This weekend was my husbands b-day and Mother's Day. I pretty much ate what I wanted and didn't watch my strict calorie count. However, I know I didn't 3500 calories a day (which would equal 1 pound). Help! I hope this didn't just set me back. I have been dieting…

Hello ladies!
Hello ladies! I am a 38 year old high school teacher who eats when stressed and bored. I never had a weight problem until I reached the age of 30. In my 20's I was a size 2/4 and weighed 130-135.
