Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I am always up on Mondays too .......... lets me know that even though I am sure I amstaying on track on the weekends there is something I am doing differently ........ I need to figure it out .......... my guess is I don't drink as much water and I eat more convenience food rather then cooking good foods, but it doesn't feel like it when I am in the middle of it ........I think this is promting me to journal my foods all week for 7 days and see what changes I am making if any .......... Monday morning highs need to be gone!!!!!!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Well today is my first day of extended induction and after a week of TOM (which won't go away btw), but I have lost 3 more lbs!!! Congrats to everyone who is sticking this and not cheating!! My husband got a gift cert to one of the best local pizza joints in town, and has been begging me to go so he can use it. I told him after I have a clean 2 week induction that I would go. They have hot wings and a great simple salad, so I should be good. I will just have to tell him to get a doggie bag for the pizza he can't eat!!!! I hope everybody has a great cheat-free weekend!!!

Make sure there is no hidden sugar in the hot wing sauce.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I am 259 today. That gives me a gain of 2 lbs. I only drank 30 oz of water the entire weekend . I also had hot wings last night and I can feel the water retention in my hands and feet from the sodium in the sauce. They were homemade, but definately had sodium in the sauce. Anyway, I will drink all my water & then some today and flush it all away. Keep up the good work everyone.

Elsy----my crazy thinking....lol...go with Wednesday's weigh in! Okay, so, maybe that's not the honest/right thing to do....but it goes to show that your body will be at 186 SOON! Maybe even next week!!!!!

lisa----stay strong!!!


Randi----nice job -3 pounds!


FL---nice -1 pound loss! A pound loss is a POUND lost and gone forever!


I never know when my lowest weight during the week will be. I can only hope it lands on the day I report in....lol...and pray like heck that Monday mornings are one of those low days!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Hello everyone! I have lost some, but I'm still up 4lbs from my start weight. I called the doctor to see if they could tell me why I'm still bleeding and when it will stop. The nurse asked me what contraceptive I'm using...I told her the Depo shot. (I had this problem with the shot once before) She gave me an appt for this Thursday to get some estrogen pills. I am not too thrilled about this, because I've been reading up on it and this is what I found:



Side effects that can occur with all forms of estrogen but are more common with oral estrogen (and less common with a patch, cream, gel, or vaginal ring) include:

• Headaches.
• Nausea.
• Vaginal discharge.
• Fluid retention.
• Weight gain.
• Breast tenderness.
• Spotting or darkening of the skin, particularly on the face.
• Asthma. Newly diagnosed asthma appears to be more common among women taking ERT or HRT than women who are not. (Estrogen is thought to be a factor that causes or worsens asthma across the life span.)10
• Rarely, an increased growth of preexisting uterine fibroids or a worsening of endometriosis.

I am seriousy hoping that these side effects will be reversed for me! I'm pretty bummed about this whole situation, and the worst part is I have no idea what to expect Wish me luck

Have you been on the Depo shot before now with no problems? I ask because I gained 15 pounds in one month when I took the shot before (for Endometriosis). I had horrific hot flashes. The hot flashes kept returning for years after I stopped the shots. Make sure you're getting extra calcium as well as it breaks down your bone mass.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Emma,

I won't have my weight until tomorrow because I don't have a scale and we have a school holiday today. However, I do know that I've lost 6"!

Congratulations to the losers!

[hopejoy]

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Hi everyone,
Oh, gosh, Sorry everyone who didn't lose. and congrats to those who did...
I finally burst through and saw 169.6 today on the scale. Hope it sticks. Next weekend I have a 4 day in a row work week... that's always tough on the weigh in and TOM will be near... PMS... but gosh, I can't believe I've lost 10.4 lbs in the last 2 weeks, although I'm being super strict with myself, so it does make sense. Well, I have a headache and am considering going back to bed, but wanted to share my news.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Still no water in town!! Briefly came back on again overnight and then was off by 9.00am this morning. I was even sent home from work, which is nothing short of a miracle, my students were pleased though. Exam day tomorrow for me, so it will be a miracle if I make it through the evening without comfort eating.

A teeny weeny change for me this week 0.5lbs lost
173.5/173.0/167.5

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Congratulations Liz! Great week!

Mine on the other hand was not so great. Actually gained a pound, but knew this was not going to be a good weigh in week for me. So, I now have 10 lbs to go for goal. I will make it up this week. Went back to the gym this morning and they have all new equipment, so it is going to take some time for me to learn all the new stuff and it was really tough. You know what they say. You can't teach an old DON, new tricks! LOL

I think you mean you couldn't teach the old Don new tricks, but the new Don is a different matter!!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

WOW Liz! 10.4 pounds in two weeks! That is truly amazing. Not even the first time I did induction did I lose that much. I only lost 8 pounds. And this time, I lost 7.

Congratulations Ms. Strict. It's really paying off.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Congrats to all those who lost.

As for me I have not lost nor gained anything for this week due to TOM. I really hate that - kinda depressing when you think about it - ate right, drank all my water and even exercised and what do I get in return - NOTHING!! Hopefully I will have a better weigh in next Monday!!

My stats are still 166/164/150.
