ok confessions time..... all last week i ate fast food. brownies.. ect and the guilt... oh my the guilt kept building and building and when i weighed in i was astonished. After all my 2 weeks of really hard work i had lost it all and put back on all but one lb... so was angry, angry at myself for being such a? pig, weak, you name it... so i didn't post saturday like i should have.. Well i have had grandaughter over for the weekend and we ate pancakes and bacon, mc donalds.. she is skinny and only 9. after she left last night i got to thinking and i am not giving up and i went grocery shopping and bought myself all sorts of good things to eat. So i am back to square one but i am glad the mind game is over. The anger is gone, and i am happy to go at it again. So when you see me not posting very often then you know i am off the wagon so to speak and come and get me and bring me back!!! your support keeps me moving strong.. here i go again at 261 lbs.. i am weighing in and starting fresh.. love you all for helping me and keep going strong. here is where you can hound me at.... [email protected] and i am linda... go peeps

Wild, if you need us to help you fight those urges... we're here for ya! You were doing so amazingly!

I mentioned earlier maybe it would be nice to have a cheat day each week. Just one day where you could go through a drive thru, make an ice cream sundae or break out these hershey bars you've been hiding! Moderation is a wonderful thing... I do it now and don't even mean too. I completely cut everything remotely bad out the first 4 weeks, but then your stomach starts to shrink and you can't binge eat, things become small helping on their own because you just can't have more.

Maybe if you just assign yourself a day and a few things you'd love rather then SHOULD have... maybe that will give you strength to get through the week.

Or maybe I'm just being pushy, sorry

I don't like hearing the parts where you guys feel bad or guilty... the fact everyone keeps coming back is MAJORLY important, as it means you still want to do it!!!!

Hey hon - you're doing great. You just had a bad week. Stop calling yourself names and realize that you're human. I was right there with you on the brownies the week before.

So hey - glad you didn't chicken out. Don't try to do it all at once. Just one step at a time. Work this week on making good choices and improving *one* thing. Whatever that one thing is. Good habits are stronger than willpower.

thank you all.. i had a chat with hubby and told him i gained all the weight back ...he said he wasn't surprised that i was in starvation mode. i guess he was right i averaged about 700 cal a day... so when i started to eat i just ate and ate. we also discussed that after this week if he wants snacks like his 4 bags of lays potato chips and his 3 lbs bag of candies he is to put them somewhere just for him.. until i get the over eating under control, they are just begging to be tasted.. i also got to thinking i wanted the weight off fast but have now realized it isn't about the weight, that will come. it may be slow but now that i am exercising and eating less i just have to be patient. i went grocery shopping for 2 weeks and bought all sorts of good things just for me, and will go out to get more produce when i need it instead of being so hungry i grab peanut butter and jelly for lunch with HIS chips. it is a life change and not a race because if i look at it that way i will never stick to it. i am going to keep a calorie chart to make sure i am doing good. guess i needed to hit rock bottom and this is it.. my doctor said my cholesterol and my sugar are way up and i don't want to up my meds. i go back in 6 months for a recheck.. thank you for my emails and the support... so instead of having spagetti with meat sauce and a side salad, i am having a salad with a small side of spagetti. one night he gets his homemade mac and cheese and i get a grilled salmon.. he loves mac and cheese and i don't but i love salmon and he doesn't so it is fair lol. the rest of the week we eat the same. he can get over it. he could use to lose 10 lbs.. ok so off to a fresh new start.. no more anger and no more feeling guilty. thank you again... goooooo peeps

ok so your back to 1lb - Hay think of this girl!!!!!! I took three weeks to lose a pound as well as YOU!!!! WERE THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!! we both LOST A POUND!!!!!! So lets just get over this bump and hold on - hay if I was there I would hold your hand getting on the scale!!! I know its hard and you got a long way to go, but we are all walking this road together!! Your saying your getting stuck on Brownies etc well I got stuck on cream cakes and Banoffee Pie!!!!

( STOP LOOKING IT UP!!!!!!!! I AM NOT SENDING DH TO USA IN THE INTEREST OF YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY!!!!!!!!

HE thinks its funny you all want to break your diet with him!!!!

)

So you see I have the added handicap of a DH who makes THINGS for me!!!!! - So wildorchid - WE TOGETHER CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!! So don;t you be hiding away thats the worst you can be doing. If we all hid everytime we didn't lose a lb none of us would ever post again!!!!! THere will be days we all eat too much and weeks we gain not lose but 6 months from now we need to be looking at were we will be then and aim for that. I am certain that we will all weigh less by then!!!!!!!! Lets just start with that 1 lb cellibrate it and move foward!!!!!!

- Husband is now locked in chicken coop and being fed lettice leaves untill he promises to make NO MORE CREAM CAKES AND BANOFFEE TREATS!!!!!!! well for the next while anyhow - I may let him out again by July???

He is simply too bad an influance to let him free range!!!

Lil late but I'm in... at work but will have to go back and read previous post... I would like to loose 40lbs I'm at 194 now I'm 5'7. I really dont look like i weigh that most people guess my weight at about 160ish.. Thats good but I know how much I weigh and would like to loose at least the 40.. I quit smoking and had a 4wheeler wreck in 04 and broke my back after recovering and not smoking i started gaining. I find that counting calories works best for me. I try to stay below 1600 and I loose slow but keep it off. I started a couple weeks ago and I've lost from 199 to the 194. I am also doing zumba and other workout games on wii...
