Winning with WW - 10/7 - 10/13 (Page 3)

Sooooooooooo

My weigh in is in 2 hrs - and, I am cautiously optimistic

janaleigh79 - 2007-10-12 9:53 AM good question what did happen to him?? Ok so I went to WI thinking I had this thing beat i was going to do so good this week cause I had been soooo good and I stayed totally OP. I felt smaller and this was the plateau busting week!!! WHATEVER I GAINED 0.8!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was really really pissed off at first but now i think, whatever ,I guess i will just keep going HOPING that someday I might lose weight again in my lifetime. It is very discouraging and I am trying not to get down on myself or over anaylze my journal and go back to see what I could have done wrong or better. I will just put on my big girl panties, which I have had to do like every stupid week, and keep going.. it sucks but I will do it. My leader posted a quote today that I thought was good. " How does one become a butterfly? You want to fly so badly you're willing to give up being a caterpillar." Well I want to fly pretty bad but my metamorphisis from a caterpillar to a butterfly is not coming along in a timely fashion. OK and i am done, thanks for letting me vent!

That's what we're hear for!  To listen and encourage.

fwiw,  I have experienced very similar things over the course of my weight losing attempts and ultimate successes.  When I got to life time, I went a long time with no losses and even minor gains -

 but I was losing inches, my clothes were fitting better, and most importantly I was feeling better and better.

I do know how you are feeling, and can completely empathize

Stay the course - you are doing the right things - It will happen - unfortuantely these things seem to take longer than we like.

It pissed me off every week too!  LOL

One of the things that's hard is the less you weigh, the slower it seems to come off.  I also think that our bodies go through an adjustment period to a new weight.  I don't know if that's true, but it seems to be the case for me anyway.

You will succeed! 

Went to my WI -

Good news to report I'm down to 159 - woo hoo

a few weeks in coming I have been hovering right between 160 and 161 for the past 4 weeks

I'm smiling!

Thanks guys!!!

And, to make the week even better, my oldest son is coming home today.  His first break from college!

I'm really looking forward to seeing him.

Only bad thing is I'm headed to San Fran on Sunday and won't be back until Thursday so I will miss most of his visit.

Okay, so I've been missing in action on this thread for a bit because I am taking a time out from the WW thing, and just counting calories and macronutrients, instead.  But, I really like chatting with you gals, so hopefully I can stay (pretty please, whine).

So, my weight today is 199.2, which is 20.2 below my initial WW weight... hmmm, maybe I should have had a formal WI because I would have received another gold star.  Another pound and I could claim 10%... hmmm, maybe when I get back in town I will have to go to a meeting, just because.

Anyhow, great work, everyone!!!  This thread just overflows with support and enthusiasm. 

Welcome back!  We've missed you!

Of course you can stay!!! but only cuz you whined so well - LOLOL

Maybe I should change the name of the thread - hmmmm, any ideas

I just love the fact that it's such a supportive environment, I like the challenges too - but for a different reason.

Thanks, Melissa and Beth - you are all stuck with me, now!

Have a great weekend, everyone. I fly to Milwaukee this afternoon - visit with family over the weekend, and then business for the remainder of the week.

Goals for the week:
* Write it - Bite it, or was it Nibble it, Scribble it, Beth??
* Get to the fitness center each day (looks as if the hotel has a really nice one)
