Re: 2nd W I

[Guest guest]

Marissa,

I have had the same experience as you this time around. I joined 3 Saturday

ago. The first weigh in I gained .4lbs and this last weigh in I lost the

..4lbs and thats it....so I am right back where I started. Like you, I have

followed the program so well. I have done it before and lost 24lbs, so I

know what needs to be done, its just frustrating that its not working. For

me its because I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and the doctor

is still trying to get the right med dose.

2nd W I

My second weigh in didn't go as well as i had planned. I didn't

gain and i didn't lose. I know i have to be patient but i just need

to vent. I was so good this week. I journaled and never went over

points. I walked three days at least an hour each time. (I know

this isn't as much exercise as most of you but i'm trying to get

into it slowly!) It felt so good to lose weight that first week and

realize that I really DO have control over my weight. After today I

am feeling like " Why Bother? "

However, i did manage to stay steadfast and eat a proper dinner and

didn't go above my pionts. I just need to pout for a night and

complain.. I will be better tomorrow! Thanks for listening.

Why Bother?? You caught me in a good mood, so I'm not going there

(ask Diane or Tory...<g>).

Let me just say that you've made a beginning on perhaps the most

important life change you're ever gonna make. Your body needs

time to adjust. Your head does, too.

What you need to hope and pray for is 1.5-2 lb per week average,

over *time.* If your prayer is answered, you're gonna lose the

weight, and you're not gonna 'find' it again! That's a heck of a

lot more important than dramatic weightloss in the first thirty

days. Believe it -- it's the truth.

And you began by saying it hadn't gone " as you planned. " Well,

sweets, all *your* planning and your best thinking got you here,

so maybe that's not the worst thing in the world. How 'bout

letting your body " plan " for itself, for a change? You might get

some great results that way!

Hang in there. Stay OP. Tell the committee in your head to get

lost, and forge ahead. The Skinnyland Express is comin', and you

don't want to miss it!!

Best to ya,

Tony Florida

try to keep it all in perspective, it is a journey. I rarely lost two weeks in

a row (except for maybe a half pound) but then I would go in every few weeks and

5lbs would be gone, some people are like that, they lose in chunks.
