Hi All...

Just thought I should check in and let you all know whats up. Tomorrow is official weigh-in day for me and the same thing has happened to me this week as it did last week: Last week, I lost 2 lbs. before Labor Day weekend. I did excellent all weekend and passed up lots of temptations. After I got home and weighed in last Monday, I had gained those pounds back just from looking at the food apparantly...thus leaving me stalled :anger

This week, I was finally happy to see 1 1/2 lbs. come off, and I was encouraged to see my stall broken. This morning (one day before weigh-in) I hopped on the scale to see I not only gained back the 1 1/2 lbs. but also put on a pound more!

The only thing different I see is I began using the ortho-evera patch this past Tues. to help with TOM. Do you think this might be affecting me?? I am sooooo frustrated, and I am to the point where I feel like I just can't keep doing this. Anyone else go through these horrible periods of stalling? And if so, how did you stick with it? I have done this way to long to just fall off the wagon now. ANY words of advice would be appreciated. :help


Hopefully when I weigh in tomorrow, things will change for the better. Will let ya all know! Thanks for listening to me gripe! :bang

Hi all - I'm down two more pounds to 180. One more pound will get me to a total of 50 pounds lost on atkins. I hope everyone is doing well.

[Chynna]

I forgot to post the results of my most recent weight-in!

Down 3lbs to 217! :icondance

I won't be weighing for another 2 weeks, so I will post my stats then.

Good job all you losers!

I'm down to 188 this week, I've finally broken through the 190.5 - 192 stall that I was on. This is a milestone weight for me, 20 pounds since I started.

good morning, all...

Oh, Michelle73, I feel for you. You've come so far and this must be incredibly frustrating! I don't know anything about the patches, but when one is playing with hormones, anything is liable to happen...hang in there, girl. Look at this as a VERY INTERESTING aberation...and something that you will look back at in a couple of months and shake your head at and chuckle (after a few pounds mysteriously disappear..).

Good work everyone who was able to stay on program this week and see gratifying results!

I'm down ONE pound, to 232, MYSTIQUE.

A long way to my Christmas goal, and I'm off on holiday next week..lots of buffets in the mix, but I'll try to be careful so I don't have too many hitchhikers travelling home with me :yikes .

Even though I'm pretty sure, (because of the rate I'm losing) I won't make my Christmas goal, I am staying here in this forum, because it motivates me, and you guys are very inspiring.

I won't be able to weigh in for two weeks. See you then.

Why do I do this???

It seems like everytime I hit one of my mini-goals I set myself backwards. Yesterday, right after posting I went to this Japanese festival and cheated on 2 pieces of sushi. I was so happy to have hit the mini-goal for myself but now I know that I need to get ready for a few week stall. Does anyone else do this? I don't really cheat all out but I knew I shouldn't have the sushi but couldn't resist. I can resist everything else-but when I have the chance for something I'm not around a lot it sure is hard.

Congratulations to all the losers this week!

To all of those that are having stalls, hang in there. I know what it's like to have slow weight loss, because I'm on BC and I have thyroid problems! Due to these problems, I'll lose a pound, and then gain it back. Then finally I'll lose a pound and it will stay off! :joy Just keep trying, and remember: even if you lose slowly, at least you're still losing! :hug

Mystique, thanks again for keeping up with the list! :ThumbsUp

[Granny53]

Well, I'm bummed again this week. On the bright side, I am almost 1 week SMOKE FREE! Unfortunately, I seem to be the typical *quitter* and have gained weight this week! So I will be dropping down further in the list. :anger :anger

Weight: 254 (+9)
Total Inches Gain: 3.03

Hey Rhonda, time for that whooshi pie!!! (Which by the way was delicious, thank you!) Don't worry...once your body gets used to not having nicotine, you'll be back to your happy loser self!

To everyone else...congrats on your losses...and sympathy toward your stalls. I'm not weighing in today, since I'm on a one month no weigh, but just wanted to see how everyone else is doing. I won't lie...I'M DYING TO WEIGH!!! I never realized quite how bad a power that dumb scale has over my life.

Good luck to everyone this week! Be strong and conquer...hehehe. :hug
