Bonnie, I had a car accident and a serious air bag burn on my had in the fall. I was on ibuprofen and pain pills. The scales were not kind to me during that interval, and I knew I was not changing the way I ate. Don't be too hard on yourself. Stay true to your plan and it will all settle down.

Karen

Bonnie, I agree with Judy....my understanding is also that inflammation due to injury IS water. Lots of Omega 3's (anti inflammatory fats) and drinking lots of water may help while you are healing :-)

I will probably report a weight later in the week. Monday's are always my "heaviest" weight day, as I am coming out of the weekend when I chose to relax and snack more. I always weigh less on Thursdays and Fridays, LOL

hehehehe...me too!!

Hee, well here it is Thursday....are you down on the scale? I am, 131 this morning :-)

I've kicked up the exercise this week, doing 40 min. on the treadmill and up to 45 ab crunches on Body by Jake. My mini trampolene should be here any day -- can't wait to start "rebounding"!

Lori

Me too! -- down to 136.75 this morning, hopefully even more weight will come off by Monday weigh-in -- looks like I was retaining water with my back injury, thank goodness!

I am also watching my food, no "splurges" - and plan to do so until I'm back to 130 or less - I had been getting too complacent with staying at 135.

But little exercise right now - some standing exercises/LifeLift breathing - but the situps, etc. are impossible with my back! Plan to start walking (distances) again this weekend....

Hi Girls,
I have been only getting on the scale on a Monday, this past Monday I still had TOM and my weight was up by .05lbs so this morning I felt slimmer and went on today and I am down to 144lbs. This is my first lost in many weeks...so I am changing my weight here.

Hi Lori, Way to go on the 2lbs drop. At our stage of the game that quite a drop off. You rock.
I must say since this started I started to use Fit Day again.
I hope everyone is have a wonderful day.
Warmest Regards,
Joy

Ahh, at this stage of the game for me, that 2 lb. drop isn't really success....I've been fluctuating between 131-134 for months now, this seems to be where my body wants to stay, and that is fine by me :-). I'll be back up to 133/134 on Monday. As long as I keep my weight well under 140 and don't gain inches, I'm content.

I'm curious what adding my exercise back in will do, but I have a feeling the scale will stay the same, but perhaps it will help tone and take off an inch or so in my tummy.

Now, YOUR loss IS success! Four more pounds to go and you are there!!!

Lori

Very nice Lori!!

I've been having a weird week. I actually found myself over eating from some emotional crap......the scale hit 162 the other day and I sort of freaked out......this morning I'm back down below 160.....159.6 to be exact. So I do feel better now.

I am still learning about my compulsive eating.....it is so insidious!!

Hi everybody!

Do you mind if I join in? I just found this thread today. I weigh myself every day, since it keeps me from letting things get out of control. I've been keeping within the same couple lbs. for months, which is ok with me, since I'm in maintenance. I try to keep my weight between 127 and 130. Today was a 127 day. I certainly do worry about gaining my weight back, so maybe weighing in with you all will help me be accountable! If I understand things correctly, I'm supposed to copy the list and insert my name and weight in alphabetical order, right?

Well, I know what my issue is - I just out-right ate too much last night. I made my favorite mashed calli and I honestly made a pig out of myself. Oh, well. I'll just up my water today and I'm sure the scale will move back down tomorrow.

Hope everyone has good weigh-ins today.

Had LOADS of tummy trouble the past few days -- I was actually up to 162.5 yesterday a.m. as a result! Glad it was gone this a.m. I've been working out now for 4 weeks so I keep thinking the scale's going to start moving again, but mostly I must be building muscle because I AM getting smaller...can't wait until that's reflected in the scale!!

Good Morning Everyone,

Well jump scale this morning, Weight still holding at 144lbs but I lost an inch on my waist.

I'm 128 today which is typical for me, since I stay between 127 and 130. My body apparently likes that zone and seems to have settled in!

I hope you all have a great week!

I think cutting a lot of the cheese out and upping the exercise has really helped me.

Good luck everyone!
