    Frustration!

    Monday, December 22, 2008, 10:11 AM EST [General]

    Do you know how it feels when you wake up , knowing you had a good week- got in all your exercise (and more than usual), plus stuck to your water and food limits, and the SCALE betrays you? That's what happened to me today. I GAINED 2 POUNDS! How in the world did that happen?! I know, it could be water, it could be the meds I am on, but I am SICK OF IT! I have been trying to lose weight for 9 years now really and just started to finally lose in JUNE when I switched one of my medications. I have been on every plan possible and always get dissappointed. My husband wants me to quit EDIETS because he says it is a waste of money if I am not going to lose but gain. I don't know what to do. Sorry for the negative post. I AM proud of myself for making it thru AON though and now with my foot still inflammed, I am scared I will gain even more. I can't go down any further on my calories, as I am already at 1200. Just a sucky day I guess. I need to get back up and get to trying more. I just feel like crying that's all.

    time

    I guess it just take TIME to lose weight. And a lot of patience. I have been on ediets faithfully since the beginning of Sept and have lost 1 pound. It gets frustrating at times but I am losing inches. 6 so far. I have gone down 2 pants sizes and my sugar levels are down. I feel better just knowing I am in control of what I eat and not the other way around. I also quit smoking 2 weeks ago and that has been a concern of mine: will I gain. But I haven't and don't plan to. I have been in a lot of pain lately with the fibromyalgia but have managed to get in my exercise. I am up to 35 min on the Gazelle 3 times a week plus as soon as I get my Dvd I ordered, I will be doing Pilates on the Ball. I really like pilates. It relaxes me.

    I now have a fibro buddy and waiting to hear from another woman who wants a buddy.  I am trying everything I know to :-) I also have a mentor who is great and encouraging to me. I just signed up for a 2 month boot camp but after I did I read what we will be doing and I am already doing the things- like drinking water, exercising, eating right... so I don't know if I will benefit from it or not. We shall see! My dad came to visit me and noticed I had lost weight since he saw me last in May- 25 pounds. He even said I was still a hotty! Hilarious!
