a few days ago, after the bachelor party, i had reported that i was up only 1.5 pounds.....i thought great!!!!

well, maybe its that i just get on the scale too often but.....its still hasnt moved from that mark

still 1.5 up from my current, recent low......maybe its just gonna take a few days. i can wait it out in the best, most compliant possible way LOL

Re: these stubborn pounds.....

Chris,

I've been reading you posts over the past few weeks. And when I saw your posts about the bachelor party I knew you were in for something like this. Trust me, I have lots of experience with exactly that issue. I have spent the last two years eating right for a week or so then eating whatever for a couple of days, my weight maintained or gained, but never went down. And so here I sit two years (or so) later and up almost to my high weight, undoing the first 18 months of hard work I did.

Many people said don't cheat (enough so that I chose not to chime in), but some lessons have to be learned for yourself. But please learn from this and don't let it lead to what I did for the last two years. Your working to hard (I can tell from your posts) to be satisfied with anything but success.

Best of luck.

Re: these stubborn pounds.....

jim.....

thanks for the kind and truthful post. i am not losing focus at all......i have indulged for occassions but not because i planned a 'cheat day' or gave in to temptation. i do know that i am going to have to develop better strategies to stay within these guidelines during such occassions, and i will

i am somewhat worried about this holiday season and the temptation of such cookies and or desserts that are often customarily served during thanksgiving and/or xmas. but the eating on those days is quite healthful and i dont think getting through them, as meals, will be difficult. eggnog....heck i just love it, but i am sure it is somewhat more than eggs LOL.....so i will stay away from that. and i never really was much of a drinker anyway....so that wont be a problem either.

i am doing this...no doubt. thank you for reading my posts and taking the time to offer your knowledge and experience.

i am really very happy that i came upon this site

now, if anyone had read my previous posts they will know that....once i finish this post i will have 8 pushups to do, immediately upon submission!!
