Morning lovely ladies..
Well, Weighed in this morning and was really excited as really feel like I've had a good week, felt like I should have lost a bit, and hadn't lost in WEEKS... And the scales wreckons i'm UP!!
Doesn't usually get to me at all, usually I just think "feck.. I will get my weight moving again" but today, 8 months of not getting anywhere and I'm getting down.. Close to tears right now typing this.. Feel like an idiot crying over something so trivial but while I know I've had treats and haven't stuck to the plan 100% the last 8 months, I don't think I've been eating bad enough to have not lost ANYTHING at all... I've been medically checked and all is OK on that front so there's no logical reason for me not to lose. I have even thought of taking weight loss or meal replacements diets coz I don't agree with them and I don't believe, no matter how much the pack tells you they're safe, I don't believe they are.. But am sitting here thinking "maybe i'll get something n just take it for a month til it starts shifting again.."
Sorry for whining.. Just feeling really down this morning about it all.. 8 months of going nowhere.. load of *****

i know exactly how you feel!!! this is how i felt when i stepped on the scales and saw the 13st 10lb mark............i've never seen that figure on the scales before!!! and was mortified and felt so upset!!! so DO NOT apologise!!! this is what this site is for hun!!! its so hard dieting and i agree with you, even if you havent been 100% on plan you havent been so 100% OFF plan to justify no movement!!for me i almost had to get to that point where i felt like crying after stepping on the scales to actually become now where i look at some food and all i see is lbs going straight on my belly!!!! and somehow it stops me, atm i see food as i have to eat it to survive but im not eating to enjoy food as thats when i make bad choices and start eating cr@p!!
Whatever you decide to do you know all the girls here are here to support you huni! dont feel alone in this because im sure at some point we have all been there!!! well i certainly have!!
we can do it together hun xxxx

Hi Hun,how about you take a look back to see when the weight was shifting and see if you are doing anything differently? Maybe up the exercise if you have time as I find it helps me when I do.Keep going you will get there,it's just finding what works for you and maybe you are losing inches instead :0)

It's been a while now for me to hun! I've had a good week and like you I am optimistic but to be honest I know I won't have lost! I have tried slimming pills and they don't work, I'm trying this high protein thing now but it's hard to get my head round, my bf has been doing it and seen great results so I hope I do! We can do it hun we just need to shock our bodies by changing something don't let it get you down just carry on!
I know how it feels though! Makes you want to think feck it and eat whatever!

What a bummer for you! You're not whining, so don't apologise about writing how you feel. That's what this board is for. A lot of us have cried or nearly cried about our weight/dieting so we know how you feel. Perhaps you are a week 'behind' and it will show next week on the scales? Can't give you a definite answer hun, but maybe your body is taking a few days to get used to the extra water intake? I remember you saying you were upping it quite a bit. There are so many things that affect weight aren't there? What with hormones, water, salt, exercise, not enough sleep, stress - and more. I'm not saying all of those apply to you, but if you put a couple of those into the mix... or sometimes just a sh!**y week where the scales are not on our side for no obvious reason.
I'm the same as you - not keen on meal replacements at all, although they do suit some people, so it's horses for courses I suppose. You've got to go with what feels right for you. I'm sure you'll see the scales moving in the right direction again soon. In the meantime, if you want to come on here and cry, shout, whatever... you do it! We're all behind you!

You have so much going on at the moment, don't be so hard on yourself.
Try and give this week ago without the treats eat healthy add a little more exercise and see how you go maybe your body just needs a boost of 100% to get it moving again. You can do this hun we are all here right behind you xxx

Do you WI on Thursdays now hon?? I'm sorry to hear your scales are not playing nice lately. Sure I haven't lost anything in ages - in fact I gained a pound this month and it's still hanging around! At least we haven't gone completely off the rails. We have lost a fair amount and KEPT it off when we easily could've not bothered and gained the weight back. I'm thinking you bringing your new pup out in the evenings is definitely going to shake things up now for you - you'll be getting in some decent exercise (AND I'll have you know that a brisk walk is brilliant for burning fat!). Try not to get too down hon - I _totally_ understand what you're thinking and feeling though. That's the glory of this site... people have often felt the same way about the same things. I would urge you NOT to do diet pills or shake-type-diets though. I'm another person who doesn't believe in that stuff and I think eating decently & getting a bit active is enough and is also something that can be incorporated long term! Are you definitely eating enough yes? A decent brekkie, good size lunch, dinner & a couple snacks a day methinks!
I hate to think of you crying and sad honey - sending much needed love and hugs!! ((((hugs)))) xxx

Thank you ladies... Just want to give up now at this stage.. What's the point in trying if its getting me nowhere?!
I've kept on, n kept on for 8 months n gotten nowhere... In fact, this time 8 months ago I was down 34lbs... Since then came Christmas and my 30th and I gained slowly back 6lbs and they won't go again..
I know I need to do exercise and I obviously will be getting more as now I have to bring Stringer out.. So no choice there.. 45 mins per day for now but that'll increase as his age does.. Maybe i'll see a difference.. Who knows!!
My proper weigh day is tomoro, and I had pasta last night so maybe tomoro the scales will be different (prob a bigger bloody gain!)
I really do feel like just packing it all in.. No fear of me going mad and binging coz I don't see the point in that.. That'll just cause me to gain everything back.. And I'm not prepared to do that.. And not being an emotional eater its not soemthing I do... (Wohoo.. A positive!)

the walks with Stringer will defo help!!! ok so you were 34lbs down last year...you gained 6 of those lbs back sooooo you are still 28lbs DOWN........2 stone DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
tbh when i felt like this i gave up................i gave up the dieting, the counting every single bloody thing i eat...........the pointing........the simply filling etc etc but i didnt give up as in im going to eat what i want and when i want.....i just tried to change the way i look at food...as fuel not enjoyment...sticking to three meals a day has helped me, also trying to not eat anything after 9pm and like if i have cheese then i have it once a day and silly things like that, it seems to be working.
Dont forget you have upped your water this week? so that could be your body getting used to it and holding onto water unneccesarily...

If I have pasta I always weigh in at 2-3lbs up the next morning- perhaps tomorrow will be a pleasant surprise? Look after yourself today - you've lost 28lbs, you've got/had a helluva lot going on recently, you know you can do it, and will do it, when it all comes together. Sending you cyber hugs and cyber tissues!
On a medical note - what did the med check include? (Tell me to butt out if you don't want to say)

See this is the thing Sarah.. PP wise.. I'm hitting target each day.. Well 26 r 27 each day with a daily of 29 but I usually aim for 26 so... But then I'm also logging into MFP and its giving out to me saying i'm undereating... So with 1 plan i'm doing OK, n with another i'm not eating enough.. TBH I don't have snacks in between meals, as I don't be hungry and don't want them.. I have been eating less for brekkie (1 weetabix biscuit) but i'm full after.. Lunch has been usual, a sandwich.. And have cut out crisps the last 2 days!! Dinner's haven't been great veg wise but have been decent, and I've been full after each meal... If I'm hungry i'll have some fruit in between but usually I don't be...

Aww it's probably the pasta then Hun and as Emma says 2 stone is a great loss in itself.And yup always good to find a positive when things seem negative!

maybe you arent eating enough for your metabolism? if you dont eat enough sometimes your body goes into starvation mode and hangs onto every single ounce you eat?!
what were you doing when you lost the 28lbs originally? was it weight watchers or something else?! it obviously worked then?! xxx

We'll see.. I know pasta is a heavy dinner n never have it the night before WI.. My weigh is officially tomoro (please don't give out anyone for sneaky WI's as I usually would do to you)
Medical check was bloods in one hospital.. (they checked thyroid, glucose, hormone and something else which I now can't rememner) And had colonoscopy and ghastroscopy and more bloods in another... Have been diagnosed (officially) with IBS.. Which I've known I've had for years, but just went n got the tests done last month to have it official so I can get a prescription to treat it when it flares..
(I did giggle that u used the word "butt", considering what I'd had done hee hee)

Maybe you should try eating a bit more then Hun,that's could be it.Try a week of eating more and see how you go,especially if exercising more with walking.

Oh I know it was a great achievement to have lost that amount.. And I was so pleased with myself when I hit that 2 stone goal.. But that was 8 months ago and I've another AT LEAST stone to go.. So while its great I've got that far, i still have SO far to go...
Lost it doing Weight Watchers hun.. WW is the only "diet" I've ever done as its always worked for me.. I'm not doing anything difference now to then tho.. I cook fresh healthy meals as if I don't I'm crippled with pain from my IBS.. So I've no choice.. The only thing I done differently was probably the soups..
