I was up a couple of lbs at the MD's yesterday as I always am. I stood and looked at the # and thought "OK" and then thought "what the heck?" So on top of the 2 up from my low I am now "officially" up 4 from my low On the other hand my EKG was "normal" and I don't seem to have the heart issues that run in my family DARN that stupid scale anyway!!!!! I am having a LOT of stress (don't really like that word) in my life right now. I know I'm hitting up those little "extras" too much even if they are "healthy" extras. Whatever, today is another day, right

Originally Posted By iamsally I totally understand the clothing thing. I am able to wear a few things this summer that have been off limits for several years.

Next summer I want to be reporting how all my old clothes fit and the ones I bought this year are too big.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I finally figured out via the Wii Fit that I would need to lose 10 more lbs to be "normal"!!!! Oh well. Maybe in another year I'll continue being my abnormal self for awhile I'm sure I know I have officially dropped a size in clothing. I need to get the bigger sized clothes OUT of my closet. The other day my pants were feeling a bit tight and I was SO tempted to just grab the larger size.

Nothing I can talk about here but it's pretty serious stuff and I'm NOT turning to food! I've kept on target during the day, at night I might fill my plate a little fuller and eat a bit more mindlessly because by then I'm pretty drained but gosh, this is BIG news for me I've even found that getting on the Wii Fit makes me feel better! Exercise making me feel better? A whole new concept

Originally Posted By iamsally Sorry you are sick Labuda. A cold always makes me crave chocolate (even more than usual). And I usually cave. I actually saw a 134 (.8) on my scale this morning.

The past few years I have just yo-yoed around. If I can get 134 on the WiiFit I will finally be down 10 pounds from where I started. Only took 2 years. How much is that a month?!? Sorry you are having *stress* amazed. Email or call if you want to unload.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Labuda, I know how you feel!!

I've finally got to the stage where I'd actually rather exercise than not, so I don't want to go backwards now! (Yes, I'm indulging in self-pity.) I wish it was summer here so I could swim, that always helps my back and it would mean I could do some gentle exercise! But I don't have access to a heated pool unfortunately... I guess all I can do is eat as well as possible to make up for the lack of exercise. I had a shocking day food-wise on Monday (mainly in the afternoon / evening) and all of Tuesday I was really low on energy, I can only assume the two are related!
Originally Posted By iamsally I actually saw one three four on the scale two days in a row. This morning before eating anything and with my PJ's still on; I was right at 135. That is probably my true weight and really not bad. At least I am sticking with it. When we first got the WiiFit I dropped to 136 right away. Then for about a year I bounced around between there and 140. But never got all the way back to my starting weight. Now it is continuing down so I feel pretty up (emotionally) right now.

Any helpful hits to shake off fail weight would be greatly appreciated. <<hiding under baggy clothes and feeling sorry for myself.

I try mine on on Saturday, so thinking skinny thoughts until then... the funny thing is I was just going out to get some banana custard when she called, after I heard the news I exchanged that for an apple and some more water...!
Originally Posted By smedley I am thinking skinny thoughts now! Well I am doing ok, could be better could be worse... Of course spending thursday night, friday and saturday throwing up with a stomach bug helped ;P
Originally Posted By iamsally >>>>Well I am doing ok, could be better could be worse...<<<< My sentiments exactly. Sorry you were sick. Hope you are okay now.
Originally Posted By mickeymeg I hope you are feeling better now Smedley. Being sick may help the scale look better, but it sure isn't any fun.
