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...

Le' Goose Egg - Weigh In

Don't know what's so friggin' French about it but ate the same amount of calories (even on high cal day) and burned the same amount as last week when I lost 3 lbs and got nothing.  The Mr. lost 2 pounds though after staying in his calorie range but eating enough sodium to send a horse into ICU.  Don't you love the fairness of this whole thing?

So yeah, I'll be fat forever.  At this rate I should have those 4 lbs off by our Spring trip, if I'm lucky.  I knew last week was a fluke.  Next week Aunt Flo is here so that means another zero despite my best efforts.  Meh.

    I don't know what to tell you. I am sorry though. I really thought last week was the start of something good for you.

    I hope you saved a finger for 'the universe' or whatever it is that gives you the 'ooh hope springs again' one week and then 'psych!' the next week! I'm sorry, Mrs.

    Dang! So sorry to hear that! I really thought that last week was the beginning of you losing again. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that next week you'll see a loss despite Aunt Flo coming for a visit.

    Not gonna lie--that STINKS to high heaven. The whole 'it's simple math' stuff they try to tell us about weight loss is just plain not true. If it were, we'd be losing at a consistent rate. I hope you're wrong and see a loss next week in spite of Aunt Flo. Something's gotta go in the right direction soon, doesn't it? Doesn't it??

    Boooooo to the goose egg!!! Yep a good double-pump of telling the scale that it's "# 1" is definitely warranted here...
