Behind on Weight Loss

Posted on November 10, 2014

This is a bitter sweet day for me. I haven't been hitting my weight loss targets like I should. I actually gained two pounds above my first weigh in. I was going to give up, but decided to hang in there. I picked myself back up, lost the 2 lbs, and then another 0.9. I am now down 0.9 lbs from the start. I guess it is better than nothing.

I am proud of myself for getting to the gym the past week 4 days, and already this week 2 times. I have began to drink more water and I have been eating well. I skipped out on desert three days in a row, which is a huge accomplishment for me! I am dissapointed in myself. I may not win the one month challenge, but I want to hang in there on the 6 month challenege! I can do it. I feel like I might have a 2 lb loss next week just based on my timing of the month, if you know what I mean. I'm putting it out here publically, I am going to standup and keep going.

Same here! Dropped and regained. Dietbetter says I now have only a 33% chance of winning, but if I'm going to lose, I'd rather be the loser who doesn't give up and loses only 2lbs away from their goal weight!

Yes, as Cindy R said...welcome to the roller coaster of life and DB! Kathy K makes a good point too regarding weigh days. I am closing in on the end of my first Transformer which ends Dec 3rd. I've made every weigh in because: 1. I check into DB every day - even if I don't post. 2. I use MyFitnessPal to log my food and exercise as well as the journal feature. 3. I use a Fitbit One to gauge my daily activity and sleep. 4. I try to stop eating by 6:00 p.m. every day. If I get hungry, I have some hot tea or decaf coffee. 5. Make lots of friends on DB - they will help support through the rough times. Good Luck!!!

Do you get on the scale everyday? Sometimes, especially during "that time of the month", the scale can be deceiving and discouraging. Maybe, at least until this round is over, only get on it once a week. I know that's hard to do. But you won't see those nasty, daily flucuations. Weighing once a week, you'll probably only see the success, and that would be an encouraging thing.

Gaining and losing weight can be such a roller coaster. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who gets discouraged with weight. It's a constant process. It's great to be able to encourage each other. Keep up the good work!!
