A gain again…..
So I just don’t understand it, I was good all week and yet I manage to gain 2 pounds. I really and getting discouraged. I am approaching my one year mark with this journey and I am reversing my progress. I am going in the wrong direction.
I was so good this week. I followed my plan copmpletely, I got in two days on the elliptical and one day of snow shoveling for an hour. So I got my three days of exercise in. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I drank my water and all that jazz.
I mean I know everyone is going to say it is ok, it happens and you will loose the weight. But that is not the point. I feel like my body is fighting me and that my body is going to win. I feel like my worst fear is going to come true and that I am going to gain back all the weight that I lost.
I am going to work hard again this week and see how it goes. Hopefully I won’t have a gain again. If anyone has any suggestions for new exercises that don’t take a lot of time and will help me out please let me know.

Oh sweetie, don’t give up! I know exactly how you feel. Your work your butt off and nothing happens or you gain. I found that it happens to me when I overdue it on sodium. I don’t know what you are eating, but maybe there is something that works against you. Just don’t give up! Sooner or later your body has to give in. Come on girl, hang in there…you can do it! We are all here for you!
Don’t know where my comment went, can you check your folder? Stay strong!
It is so very frustrating when you do all the right things and gain or stay the same. But you are right…go forward and have another good week and I hope the scale will reveal an awesome number for you next week. You may need to change things up if you get to routine with the same foods and stuff. Maybe try something a little different if so to throw your body off.
Good luck! hang in there and GOOD FOR YOU for doing the right stuff!!
Sorry Julie, it’s so discouraging to have a gain. I know, I just changed my tracker to reflect a 3 lb gain, not sure how it happened, but it did and now I have to get busy and figure out how to get back in the game. I wonder if we just get to a point when what has been working for a long time gets to the point when we need to change to get things moving again. Like Debbi says. Maybe our bodies are like; “well I guess this is all I’m getting from now on, so I’d better hold on to all the calories I can.” ?? And snow shoveling will cause your muscles to pump up, that could be part of it. Who knows? It happens, just keep doing the best you can. Eventually you’ll start dropping the pounds again. Please don’t worry too much about it, I’m sure worry causes weight gain too. (it must, everything else seems to)
Girl I broke down tonight and had McDonalds. At least yours was there in your house.. I had to go out of my way for it and I am feeling guilty as ever now. At the same time though I know that even with that break down I’ve still made progress this week so One bad moment in a week as opposed to eating only crap should not discourage us too much. Like you said… just means more work to burn it off =)
