Here I go again......I got on the scale this morning and I am 258.2 again. Geez what the heck?? So I measured despite it not being the 1st of the month and this is what bothered me, I have gained a half in bust and waist. Okay exercing should be making me LOSE inches not gain. So yes I am aggravated but I know that if I keep at it it will eventually work. I mean it has to right??

Angela--I am so right there with you girl!! Beyond frustrated. I need to do my measurments and see if there is a change cause there sure isn't one in the scale, well at least not a good one. We will get through this though...I refuse to give up!!

Angela,

As a fellow slow loser I know how frustrating it is to feel like you have gone backward. Honestly though, imagine if you weren't doing anything. I really have started to find some peace in knowing that I'm not the size I was this time last year, or worse, I'm not 20 pounds heavier than I was then. The payoffs are coming to us, we just have to be patient and work according to what each of our bodies responds to.

Hang in there! Glad to hear your not letting it get to you!

"not letting it get to me" That's the key. Just thought about something.. could you be approaching this time of the month? It can account for the weight gain and the slight bloating in waist & bust. And if you're like me, it can also happen when you're ovulting. Just a thought.


You've been doing awesome lately. Sticking to your water.. and focusing on the exercise you're getting. Just keep doing this and hide that scale (and measuring tape) till the 1st of April.

Yes Mary, I am sure I am.....LOL I never know when it will hit as I am not regular by any means but with the mood swings I have had........DEAR LORD. The scale was going back down as of yesterday morning so the water pills finally kicked in. I haven't done well on water this weekend as i was OUT of water at home and just made it to the store to buy more.

Hi Angela, just wanted to send some support your way. I'm new here, but it seems like what I've been reading indicates that there are a few of us experiencing frustration right now. Hang in there girl!
