I was up 1.4lbs today and I am very frustrated and disgusted with the whole weight loss issue. When I was on vacation I gained less then a pound and I knew there would be a gain and expected it in fact was pleased with only gaining a small amount.
This week I exercised 5 out of 7 days even increasing my exercising by adding in running with my walking. I stayed OP all but one day which was my birthday and even then I watched my portions. I know the WW program like the back of my hand, I should since I've been on it for over a year. I know when I've blown it and will be the first to admit that fact but this week I did everything right yet gained. What is my body trying to tell me I just dont get it??
I'm not giving up but I am going to reevaulate myself and see if there is something I may be doing wrong. I've come a long ways and I will not throw in the towel over this gain but it does make me so GRRRRRR!! Thanks for listening to me whine! You guys are wonderful. Hope you have a great day.

I understand your frustration and disgust - trust me. Read my post from 2 weeks ago where I had somehow managed to gain 10 pounds in 4 weeks of hitting the gym and really watching it. I weighed in last Friday and lost 6 pounds - I'm attributing the other 4 to muscle and probably some poor eating but finally seeing a loss was great! Not to mention I knew that I was on plan but it still hurt!
The extra weight may be some water that your body is holding on to. You were on vacation and now that you are back in the swing of things and your body is just probably a little confused. Not to mention, changing up your exercise will cause your muscles to hold on to some water.
Don't sweat it - I know, easier said than done but in hindsight, I wish that I had followed all my Barbie friends advice and not spent so much time stressing about the gain because it really did come out okay in the end!
In the meantime, I'm sending you a (((HUG))) and reminding you of how fantastic you are doing and how far you have come......you have totally transformed your life, your attitude, your physical health and you are an inspiration to a lot of people (me included!). I HEART you and I have no doubt that you will be shouting your losses from the rooftop next week!
Thank you Steph, you have helped me to achieve a more positive attitude and feel better about myself. It's much appreciated!!
Can I just say "ditto" to what Steph said?? :) She put it so nicely.
The one thing I thought while reading your post is....are you eating enough?? Are you eating the APs you are earning? What about your flex points? You could try mixing things up a bit and see how that works for you too. These are just my thoughts and a few of the things I have tried when my weight has not done what I wanted it to do. :)
I bet next week you will see a huge loss! Stick with it and you will see it...
Oh MAN! I know the feeling, but I LOVE that you keep saying you won't give up! You are a huge inspiration! Let us know when you figure out what is going on with you!!! KEEP IT UP!
It's so frustrating to feel like you are doing it all right and your body is just not responding.
Are you eating enough? For me, I know that if I don't eat I won't lose. I can eat a few flexies every day and still see a loss if I am getting in my water.
Hope you figure it out. And you are so much healthier than you were when you started this WW thing. Just remember that!!!
We all get that frustration, but don't give up!!! You're going to be a fantastic WW leader-heck, you already motivate us all the time :)
Awww... I totally understand your frustration and disgust. I don't know why the numbers on the scale don't always reflect all of our hard work. But the fact is... sometimes they don't. And it's not our fault. Sometimes our bodies just act crazy. That's the only way I can explain it. lol
So don't feel bad, girl! You are doing everything right! Your scales are just temporarily possessed! hehe
Seriously... hang in there. You have done a TREMENDOUS job so far... and you will continue to do so! You are AWESOME and SUCH an inspiration! Keep up the good work... and don't be so hard on yourself! :)
I understand your frustration and disgust but you have to understand that your body does weird stuff when you change things. You've added exercise and I know when I first add more exercise my muscles tend to hold onto more water. I know how much it hurts when you know in your heart of hearts that you've done everything right and the stupid hunk of glass and metal just doesn't play nice when giving us the magic number.
Hang in there, you are doing a great job for your body and it will reward you very soon!
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}
Just checking in to wish you a great week! Its a new month, time for a fresh start!
Awww... thanks so much for the very kind comment you left on my post today. I think I had too much time on my hands this morning. lol
I hope you're having a great day! :)
I love the new look of your blog!
Are you sure you're eating enough? Remember my struggles...if you're exercising that much (btw KUDOS!), you might not be taking in enough calories.
Just a thought.
Appreciate your comment to me today. I'm homesick, and I miss the seasons too. Fall is the best.
I miss the MN people too right now.
Just keep hanging in there. You have to find a way to hold on to your focus and motivation as slippery as they can be at times.
I told myself I WILL NOT START 2008 HEAVIER THAN I AM TODAY and that has me back on track. Come on and fight this battle with me!!
