Just back from WI and I'm so upset
I was UP 2.5lbs :eek: I actually cried on the scales. I don't understand it at all. I was actually so good this week. I really concentrated on tracking correctly, not eating crap and eating properly. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't do as much exercise as I would normally do because I have been studying for this exam on Sat. But honestly, could that put me up by so much?
I feel so fustrated right now. One half of me is trying to be positive and thinking start over, the other just wants to throw in the t-towel. I feel like such a big fat mess right now:( I just feel like such a failure.
My leader was so nice though, it nearly made it worse. She wasn't like "well you deserved that", she knows I've been having a tough couple of weeks with WW and told me to bring my tracker to her for the next few weeks. I just don't know where I'm going wrong. I thought I had turned over a new leaf last week by finally losing a bit but this has just knocked me for six. I really wasn't expecting to be up at all, never mind by 2.5lbs.
Sorry for the long post, I've no one to talk to about this at home so you guys are my only outlet!0 -

shoelover, thats crappy, so awful when you have a gain that you just can't understand :mad:
I don't really have any advice as it sounds like you're doing everything right but I'd just say remember the bigger picture..try to focus on your overall loss and not tonights gain..hope you feel more positive tomorrow0 -
-
Shoelover hang tight that's mad you were up when you were not expecting it I hope you feel better it's a new month new leaf as Lainy says you will see that gain lost and more
What a day actually got the sunshine forecasted which I. Was not prepared for so I am a nice shade red not sore though
Had weigh in today down .5 sowly getting there on week 7 now and still a pound away from my first 7 pounds but I've lost 9.5 in total in 11 weeks counting the bit I lost before I joined WW
Any one see the new us government what's on my plate to try and encourage healthier eating I have a pic of it o. Fb from WW Australia0 -
had my WI this evening and I was down 1lb ...........after fudgegate I figured I was gonna be up but looks like the exercise and loads of water helped!!!
oh shoelover (((hugs))) not sure what to say except hang in there.....sometimes the scales seem to have a mind of their own but you will get there!!! I think sometimes weight loss takes a week or two to settle!!!
thanks for the recipes Lainy.....they sound yummy!!!!
right off to bed......have to be up with the birdies for work tomorrow.....bleh!!0 -

Morning all
Thanks for all your lovely supporting posts
I'm kicking myself out of my depressive mood today and am starting afresh It's such a nice day out, how could I not be in a good mood?
I've had a 30g bowl of Porridge for brekkie, topped with banana and 1tsp of cinamon! Even had it without milk this am - just as a trial cos a girl at work reckons its nicer with no milk poured on top. I have a good lunch with me too.
Heading down to Limerick tonight with guys from work, so in my bag I have three Bran Muffins, a lunch box with some blueberries in it, a yogurt, 2 banana & 2 WW Bars. It's going to be a long exam tomorrow (4 hours :eek:) and it starts at 8am so I have to bring my brekkie with me to the hotel! Roll on 12pm tomorrow, till the exam is over and I'm on my way back home 0 -
Hey all
So had WI this morning & I was down 0.25lb .... It's TOTM though so I think part of it is water retention, I didn't eat my weeklies at all though & only exercised 2 days so possibly I didn't eat enough BUT it's a loss even if it is tiny & this weirdly seems to happen me when I'm waiting to get into the next stone bracket! I'm 12.25 now ..... C'mon the flipping 11's!!!
I had a pretty good wk food wise but I'm out on site with clients again & the days are long so I'm totally zonked when I get home hence lack of exercise. They're in Wicklow so I now have an hour drive each way every day instead of my usual 20min to the office pain in the a$$ for WW food & exercise planning! Thankfully it's a 3 day weekend! I'm going to forbidden fruit this weekend so I'll gobble my weeklies for sure! So nice to go to a music festival in Dub then go home to my own bed at the end! I'm planning on a massive breakfast/ brunch to keep me going so I don't end up eating crap on site all day evening! Also the event is sponsored by bullmers which I don't drink & that'll be the bulk of the alcohol on offer so I won't really be drinking at all which will help with my points!
Have a good weekend all & shoelover best of luck with the exam & sorry about the WI but it looks like you've dusted yourself off & are in the right frame of mind so well done you here's to great losses for us nxt wk! 0 -

oh i love your honesty! cos face it...we're all here cos we LOVE food....we LOVE the bad foods....I'm a foodie! and it has got the better of me last few weeks!
Leave it with me...i'll have a snoop around the ww site for there tips and advice. is the party at a friends house? close friend?
would she be awfully offended if ya whipped up something healthy in her kitchen (that you'd bring it with you) how about few chopped up chicken nuggets over salad with some mayo? With the pizza, if they have the packaging hanging around you can point it from that.
maybe you could pop a few tangle twisters into there freezer....so instead of cake you can have the ice cream...i'm sure all the parents would love if you brought some low fat ice creams for them to enjoy :P so you wouldnt look like a odd ball with your own ice cream.
but do try to eat before you go, so your not there with a starving stomach! drink loads of water, or put tonnes of ice into what ever your drinking to make it stretch0 -

You could try stuffing yourself full of healthy food before going - then you might not be so tempted if you feel full. Or put a few healthy snacks in your bag for when you get there.
I know it will be soooo tempting, I'd have no will power either but i wish you all the luck.0
kopperberg the real stuff doesnt even get me drunk....i'd have to drink about 50 pints to get drunK! so non alco stuff would do me as long as its not 8pp per bottle LOL
