well, back from weigh in and lost half a pound. it always does this, every 4 weeks i have a disappointing loss. it doesnt coincide with star week so its not that, maybe its just hormonal??!!

anyway, half a pound is half a pound so that makes 1 stone 7.5 lb in 10 weeks so I am more than happy with that!

hope everyone else is lucky *fingers crossed*

Moosey,
I never gain weight when I actually have a period (when I allow myself ,that is) but the week before when I'm premenstrual I blow up like a puffer fish,get constipated and gain about 5 lbs!I seriously look about 6 months pegnant til I come on,then it all disappears in a couple of days and my engagement ring is loose again!Certainly hormanes may have played a part but at least you still lost so chin up:T :j

Catt - please don't worry too much.You've done this for the last 2 weeks and it's been fine both times so relax!If you've gained 5 lbs I would be astonished as you've been so good.I understand why you don't want to eat anything but I recommend you still drink plenty of water so your body doesn't retain it.Do like Angie and stop an hour or 2 before weigh in.And I know you're anxious cos of other stuff you're gonna make yourself ill at this rate.Stress related illness is a major killer.I know it's easy for me to tell you to relax when your weight doesn't effect my life but I really hate to see (hear!) you getting yourself in such a tizzy every week.You've always been quite laid back about your weight loss until recently and I have to wonder what's happened to make it so life or death for you?Sorry to go on,just worry,that's all for now!

Thanks Kelly. I will relax! If I knew I was cheating or doing something wrong then I'd be fine about a gain, but it hard to accept when you really are getting your second wind and going hell for leather at it!

I will at least maintain tonight
I will at least maintain tonight
I will at least maintain tonight
I will at least maintain tonight
I will I will I will!

Ladies if you are still under 40, get that weight off now as it is sooooo difficult when you reach those akward years!!!!!!!!:D

Maybe thats it - maybe I've hit 40, 8.5 years too early??!!!!!!!!! :eek: :rotfl:

STANDBY FOR A LECTURE
Catt, please remember, you've done extremely well up until now. Commitment, dedication and rigidly sticking to the plan are all very commendable but now and again just cut yourself a little slack. You sound so uptight and tense and , a bit like kelly said, thats not going to help you in ANY aspect of your life. You're an absolute pillar of strength to everyone else on here so try and think what advice you would give someone else in your position., I'm sure it wouldn't be 'run around like a headless chicken'.
Go easy on yourself, if you have put on 5lbs, and I do say IF, accept it , draw a line under it and move on, after all whats the alternative? cave in , give up and undo all the good thats gone before? Stick with it, we're all here for you, just as you're always there for us.
LECTURE OVER

Good luck sweetheart!

LOL, thanks lo_bush. Its just after being stuck for so long and doing it half-heartedly I'm trying soooo hard and really don't one week of putting on between now and xmas to really give myself a boost. OH is on my back which is why I'm feeling the pressure.

Weigh In tonight, I have done one of the most frowned upon things by our S/W consultant and weighed myself. Going by this think I've stayed the same. Wish me luck!!:p

Gosh, you have taken the words right out of my mouth - I have done the same, and expect the same tut tut to us

Gutting if it is true of course. I have been green all week, used all my A's and B's and not a syn out of place. I keep wondering of this will be my last weigh in - I could be putting the cash in a pot each week and getting a lovely massage or something!

See you after weigh in?
