^*^Are You A Daily Weigher? ^*^ Lets track this weight loss! JANUARY 2013!

[Rayne_W]

Cassidy - Welcome!

Blondie - I am so sorry you're going through all this. Wise words from our other posters. I just want to add that I've been in such a similar situation: everything crashing in and overwhelming what little mental and physical reserves you possess, feeling that nothing will ever change (so why try), that ongoing funk/feeling you're barely keeping your head above water, and then ultimately succumbing to the urge to go off-plan. What better way to reinforce the feeling that you're not measuring up everywhere else in your life, right? Ugh. BTDT. Frankie is absolutely right -- to get out of the spiral you will really need to put yourself first.

This is just my own opinion, so take with a grain of salt: I've often felt that depression (I've battled this my whole life) is the body's way of telling us that we're maxed out, that something has to give or we will indeed fall apart. Until things change, the body is trying to protect itself by partially shutting down in response to the stress. It's telling us we're neglecting our own needs, and our well has begun to run dry. When I was in that mire and muck, the only way I got out was to lower my work hours (I quit my 2nd job) and tell quite a few people "no". I couldn't be everything to everybody, at least not at that moment.

Take care of you.

I'm not really doing it on purpose, but I'm only eating one meal a day and the only snacks I'm eating (when time allows) are low carb. I've been able to avoid the cookies, popcorn, and candy we keep in the office so far. I hope I can keep it up! Weighing in daily definitely helps!

[Parisfox]

My goal for this month is to stay on plan and lose consistently even if it goes slowly.

Re-Start....11/01/12....249.4
11/30....247.8....Better than UP, but not enough.
12/31....245.6....At least I had a small loss for the month. December is the worst month for me.


Week 1:
01/05/13....248.0

Week 2:
01/12....246.6

Week 3:
01/13....245.8
01/14....244.2....
01/15....244.6....Even when eating VLC...Calories do count.
01/16....246.2....My bad....I "did" deserve this.
01/17....

Thanks to whoever got our thread made into a "sticky."

Congrats to all the losers! I've got to "get back on track" and join that club!!

1/16- 288.4... TOM

I think the carbs in my breakfast were a bit high as I was rushing to get to work yesterday. The eggs and cheese on the sausage egg and cheese biscuit must have had junk in it. I am cooking tonight so I will be prepared for the rest of the week. I am working on cooking at the beginning of the week so that meals are prepared. I need to get on a schedule.

Still not much going on with me. I was busy and not very hungry yesterday and ate dinner late so didn't eat very much. I actually like days like that once in a while..

@Kali-Great job! Seems like what you are doing agrees with you.

@Judy- Get back to your plan ASAP! You have half the moth left, you can do it!

@JoeAnne and Behlor- You two are doing awesome!

Another new scale.. I like this one. It gave me the same exact numbers every time I got on it. Yeah, it weighs me heavier but not by much..I think I can handle it. I'd be lying if I said I was happy to have another setback into the 30's

Everyone is doing well today!!

Well, headed in the right direction once again. I want to thank you all for your kind words after my last post. I read all of them. I swear I cried the whole time I was reading. I felt a sense of relief in knowing that after posting such a set back, I wasn't being judged or forced further into humiliation. I still dont know why I went on such a binge or why I got so depressed. Im not 100% over it yet but Im doing much better now and starting to get my carb counts back under control.

Thank you all for being so wonderful.

Blondie~ Proud of you for getting back up and moving forward. I don't think any one has room to judge another because we all have our issues with food, dieting, and weight loss.. it is just plain HARD. We are here to support you and help you any way we can. One day at a time, you can do this.

Kali, Zay, Terri~ you guys are melting your way into new decades. Yeah!!!

New numbers for me still stinging a bit today.. it is what it is and yeah, I do need the new scale so I guess I gotta just suck it all up.. :/ I think once I can get past my low on the old scale (228) it won't hurt so bad.

Have a great day everyone!

I've been in a funk lately, hovering around 297 no matter what I do. all the way up to yesterday, when I weighed in at 297.6 in the morning. I got home from work though, and had come down to 295. How odd. usually the night number is a few pounds higher than the morning number...

This morning (afternoon to real people)?

293.8

Every time I think I've made all the progress I can, something will happen and I'm down from 297 to 293 in a single day.

[Phranquie]

I traveled today so I did not weigh. I am away and won't be back to my scale until Monday. I will try and weigh here just to keep tabs on if I am going up or down.

@ Z and Stepinthyme- Great losses!
@ Blondie- I am glad you are coming back to post. Getting suport when you need it most is really important.
