Hi Sue, Sometimes we want to lose the weight so bad and get so impatient with CAD because it can be so slow. You just need to remember that any little loss all adds up.. Even if it is a little as 1/4 lb. I know it doesn't seem like much, but in the long run, you still have lost. Stress also plays a part in slow weight loss.
Take each day at a time and you will be back on track before you know. Remember we are here to give you encouragment if you need it. Good luck.
Karen, Wow, that is quite a pickle you are in.. Why do they insist that all the teachers eat the food? Can't you tell them you are on a special diet? What if you were diabetic and could not eat some of that stuff? I don't blame you for wanting to waste your RM on school food. An RM should be one that you enjoy and where you enjoy the food too. That is what it is all about. Do they serve any types of salads etc? Anything that would be considered legal for a CM? Boy, I sure do hope you can figure out a solution to this problem. This would upset me terribly. Keep us posted.
Amy, I don't think you need to weigh everyday if you really don't want to. I think it helps to average your weight, but if it makes you frustrated, then don't do it for awhile and see what happens. It is not set in stone.
Everbody is different.
Even tho you are off plan right now, at least you have lost 1 lb. That is great. It doesn't sound like you are getting out of control with your eating, so that is good. I have the new Heller's book. In a way I was kind of disappointed in it. Not too sure what I was expecting. It does give some good tips on how to get back on plan, so hopefully this will help you.
