Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing the #'s!
The only way I've been able to lose is by going by the ww's points. Unfortunately I inevitably "hit the wall" and have to EAT. It usually starts with either having company or going over to someone's house - I'm bad and then I don't care.

I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone is doing and what's working for them!

:) Makes perfect sense to me. You are still taking in fewer calories than you took in. (3500 for that 1 lb!) When you upped your calories, you boosted your metabolism, which had most likely slowed a bit as your body adjusted to the low calorie intake, which is "read" as a potential famine. Eat a bit more and you're tricking your body into thinking the famine is over! ;)

This is so we won't loss weight, have medical problems and have to go to the doctor more often. I think that is it, it is not us it is THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: ;) ;) ;) :lol: :lol:


I don't understand how there could be global warming when area of the country that are usually warm had snow and ice. I think they are wrong they got it backwards there isn't global warming and it is going to be another ice age. But that is just my opinion. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well, that nasty scale told me I had gained weight instead of losing it. So for the month of Feb, I gained a lb instead of losing any. Boo hoo, I will try harder in March, but have a 4 day quilt retreat to stumble through. (food wise I mean)

Not sure if these is a new board? I have been having such a hard time with my weight, being in a soft case for over 6 weeks & no gym, sitting around has not helped me any and neither does all this snow, housebound, I have gained back almost 10LBS of the 38 I've lost. This is such a bummer, so down in the dumps over this::))

I can relate; I lost 30 and have gained back 15. It's depressing.
