Fed up!

[jlscnhirh]

Just weighed myself at the end of week two & I have gained the 2lb I lost last week - so annoyed with myself. I really, really want to lose weight so why can't I just stick to plan and say 'no' to all the chocolate cravings??

Hi Jlscnhirh,

It's tough when you first start trying to change things - but stick with it, and you'll see continued success. You've effectively lost 2 pounds over 2 weeks, which means that you've lost an average of 1 pound per week, that is excellent!

I know you're weighing here - but if you like the idea of group support, there is the Monday group weigh-in going on today, and you'd be very welcome to join us if you fancied some group support.

If you look at the 'Events' section of the homepage (right-hand-side) you can see the link to today's current weigh-in thread.

No problem if you're happier to post your individual weigh-in post, but I just thought I'd let you know about the group weigh-in sessions, incase you wanted to join in.

Hello! This has also happened to me this week! I was chuffed to get to below 10st on Friday, only to be back over today! I did have a boozy week end with crisps, but never mind. Back on the wagon today. Blips will happen, it's carrying on that is the main thing!

So you're as miffed as I am then. Just to share the misery, a very similar thing has happened to me. I had stuck to my plan exactly, weighed and measured everything, didn't eat anything without checking the kcal first to make sure I could fit it in. Done that for 4 weeks. Results: Week 1 lost lb, week 2 lost half, week 3 lost lb, week 4 gained a lb. None of it makes scientific sense. But this week I have remembered to wear my pedometer and have had a few walks and extra stair climbing. Had a couple of pints of plain water a day instead of some of my usual pots of coffee. I have also cut back on my fruit. Only had 1 helping a day or none, instead of my usual 3 - 6 helpings. Don't know what will happen when I weigh Thursday. But just giving it my best has helped me do better than I would have done with foodie visitors in the house. Being a bit of a Pollyanna, but I think I have done better than I would have done if I had lost and taken the breaks off. Fingers crossed for both of us if we can keep going till our weigh in and, hopefully, a loss. Venus
