Tru hang in there. All of us are gonna have our set backs. I got real discouraged when I put on 2 lbs. but then I turned around and lost it plus more. I'm not even eating right, the biggest thing I have done is I stopped eating sugar and added exercise which I do 4 to 5 days a week depending on how I am feeling. Now having said that have you considered that you may be building muscle? Muscle weighs more then fat does so it will appear that you are putting weight on when Infact your not. Hang in there it will be ok. You know we are here if you need us plus I see that Gwyn is calling you, let her talk you down honey. It's not as bad as you think. (((((HUGS)))))

Since I did well last week I ate the EXACT same way this week, weighed and measured, my 3 meals and 3 snacks. I made sure what I chose had the least calories. Brown rice has less the white sames goes for whole wheat pasta less calories then reg, And I GAINED yes that is right everything the same not a cheat nothing and I GAINED 3 lbs. I am so disgusted. I feel like saying SH*T on this and forget about the diet, eat brownies and what ever else I want to. What difference does it make??????????? To get healthy???????? I will never be healthy. So why begrudge myself foods I like no, no, foods I love to not lose but gain?????????? And honestly will losing weight prolong life?????? I think not when you are born God stamps your butt with an expiration date. So if you are young or old, fat or skinny, sick or healthy when God wants you home he will take you.
It could be water retention, you're building muscle, you hit a plateau. Who knows. Don't trust you scale.

Well today was weigh day for me and I am glad to say that I have lost 11 pounds and I can really tell it in my clothes. I do not post much on this thread but I just want to tell you all that I do read it and enjoy what you all have to say. I have not met any of you but thru this I feel that I know you. Trupeach I dont mean to sound gross but sometimes if I am dieting my BM's get irregular so I drink some hot super dieters tea about ever other night and it really helps. Did you hear that when Elvis died he had 25 pounds of "poop" in him? KEEP REGULAR.
