Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

Finger gesture - Weigh in

What is up with these 2 oz weigh in's?  I know there were some high impact exercises this week but not that bad!  (Says the woman dreading walking at the fair today with this sore body and can't wait to take ibuprofen!)  So I don't count 2 oz losses which means a zero for today.

I'm happy with what I've lost this month which is 6 lbs. but the 8 lb losses per month that were so constant during the first 100 lbs are eluding me.  I know some would be tempted to say "you weigh less than you did then" and I'd have to remind them yes, but I'm still over 300 lbs!  Whatever.  I've got an exercise schedule to make out this weekend so I'll do that tomorrow and try to plan intelligently.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  1. I know the 2oz is frustrating, especially with the effort you and the Mr put in, you track calories in, you track calories used, if you lost weight simply by planning you would be have double digit losses

    congrats on the 6 pounds for the months

  2. Those kind of weigh-ins are downright maddening. Hope that next week the scale makes it up to you!
