That is great Hermione! Neko, me too, with the 1 lb gain. So, that means I am at the same weight as last Monday. I know exactly how I gained, got too hungry and then could not stop snacking. They were healthy snacks but too many of them. Escapee, I 2nd that, " onto weight loss and better fitting clothes!"

Count me in with a gain this week. I was out of town this weekend & ate a small hot fudge sundae with yogurt instead of ice cream,peanut butter topping, whipped cream & walnuts on both Sat & Sun. I even had the nerve to ask for extra peanut butter topping! Are any of you familiar with Friendly's Restaurant that specialize in ice cream sundaes. Even my good old eliptical wont save me tomorrow at my weigh in at Weight Watchers. Mameblanche loved your story with you mom thinking you had to lose weight & then thought you lost 1 lb!!! Well onto a better week for all of us.

Gilda, that sounds delicious!! We went away this weekend. I ate different foods and copious snacks, not nearly enough water, am constipated (TMI?) and gained about 2 lbs. Let's change the name of this thread to Who Wants to Gain Weight With Me. LOL! I can give lots of good tips for that topic. Seriously though, good luck to everyone this week.

I ate some more food today and am ready to get back on track in the morning. On the positive side, I had a good workout this morning. Welcome back, Cinnamongirl! You know, you really can do anything you set your mind to.

Ok, dress drama for me My older sister is getting married next month and we got a awesome deal on our dresses. Along with that deal, both my dress and littler sister's dresses were too big, so we took them to this lady who was reccomended to have them altered. So we got them to her, we had her pin them all up on us, mine needed to be taken in one size and sis' needed a couple sizes. She said they'd be ready in a week. Folks, that was 3 weeks ago. I picked up both dresses yesterday and sure enough, mine was taken in TOOOO much and Sis' not enough. UGH. I can get this dresses zipped but it is not comfortable. The seams are HORRIBLE and Sister's looks awful. She charged me $77 for these alterations and I had to scrimp and save to be able to afford that. I am so furious, but I am not about to take it back to her to fix! SO, I am running again, I will lose this five pounds or so to get it to fit. Sis' will have to be taken back in a bit, but MIL has offered to do that since it's minor. UGH, so mad.

Escapee, that is infuriating! There there, Denecee. You'll make up for whatever it is. I have lost 1.5 of the 2 lbs I gained over the weekend.

I hear all of us being frustrated with ourselves. Losing weight unfortuntely takes time,energy, motivation & alot of patience with ourselves. We dont want it to take weeks, months etc to get to our goal weight. Its so frustrating always having to think on a daily basis what we are going to eat for every meal, what daily exercise & at the same time deal with daily living & temptations along the way. What is even more frustrating is that we usually have to pay the price for our indulgences - weight gain which will set us back & take even longer to lose! I guess we just have to do it - make it our purpose - just do the right eating & exercise and not constantly keep thinking about it. Just make it a way of life - not a diet - just a change of lifestyle of eating healthy food & daily exercise. Thank you all for being here!

I kinda see it like that, but in a sorta different light. My weight loss POV is this: I have to work each day to get the healthy eating and exercising to be a LIFESTYLE. A habit. Things like writing down what I eat, no butter on the toast, whole wheat toast, etc.

You are absolutely right Escapee. It does take at least 6 months or longer depending on the individual to get the healthy eating & exercising to become a lifestyle. Doesnt happen overnight. Also, what is important is to vary our meals. For example if you eat cereal every single morning, salad every lunch hour, etc. you finally get so sick and fed up of eating the same foods that it could lead you to binge etc. Today, I was tired of cereal so I made myself a 3 eggwhite (bit of yolk) spinach & fat free cheese omelete, with 2 slices of multigrain toast with a bit of peanut butter & 1 cup of mixed vegi juice. It was delicious and satisfying.

I was so good, AND THEN, I went home at lunch and my mom had brought Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Fries, and they were right there looking at me. I ate about 5 french fries and a quarter of the sandwich, dagnabit! It was so good.

My weekend started horribly food wise! My companion Jerald & I were invited to my sister Renee's friend Linda's for dinner tonight. The dinner went well until the homemade soft delicious chocolate chip cookies came out. I must have eaten about 5-6 cookies. Too many constant temptations. My goal for August 31st was 175 lbs which I will never make now. This overeating is a real sickness! Its like I completely forget about myself when good food is around.I probably need to be away at a spa/boot camp for a couple months to lose weight. Pam, we all need a break thru, lol...

wouldnt that be fun if all of us could afford the time to go to a fit camp for 30 days! The weekly weighins with a friend have been helpful for me but she isnt losing either so I think we need to add another person that is losing so we will mentally step up to the competition!

Pam, it would be fun if all of us here who want to lose weight could meet at a fit camp! Neko, many of us are going thru the same family situations, dinner invitations where there are temptations to overeat, but at least we try to get back on track soon after. Good week to all. No weight loss for me.I hope to break even at my weigh in tom. LOL

I have been on a hardcore restricted diet for about a month. This is a different approach for me, as I usually go the "extreme exercise" route for weight loss. Now it's all about the caloric intake. I drink a ridiculous amount of seltzer water with lemon and lime slices. It's probably my number one appetite suppressant. I also eat grapefruit, yogurt, and baked chicken. On occasion I crave something more solid, but try not to go overboard. I seem to have dropped a size or two, and am starting to incorporate more exercise. I ride my bike on occasion, and throw a ball around in the kitchen. Sounds silly, but it gets my heart rate up and costs nothing. Also got my bike fixed and rode a bit yesterday, went for a long walk the the other day. I'm working it ladies! Wish me luck! ETA the entire female population of New York City is my competitive motivation for losing weight. I work in the Fashion District and see more beautiful (and thin) women in a day than most people see in a year. I will beat them, oh yes I will. Or join them, whatever works!
