Hello all,
I have been lurking and not posting much, I was doing good till last week when I ate way to much sweets from boredom and the tragic about the angels kids in Conn...and my weight creeps back up..where I started from since Thanksgiving.
I had started again with calories, and this time am full force it now..I have a portable handheld eletronic device that I recived for an early Xmas gift and doing good so far.
Am also back into daily weigh ins, since my device tracks sodium and watching on it. I weigh each evening before bed and finding some clues on why my weight losing and gain it up ..My issues is water weight and losing good daily, but then boom! it backs up..am so frustated!! but a learning process for me to understand ..
I will post more in 2013...and wishing USA folks Happy and Healthy holidays events!!

I too have been eating way to many sweets, especially cookies with frosting - or frosting with frosting. I don't know sometimes! Why I bought it, I'll never know!
Anyway, glad you're back into things and I wish you luck!

It is best to weigh in the 1st thing in morning. as dy progress's we tend to temporary gain for that dy. when we sleep our bodys uses the water n ect, n weigh temporary weight gain durning the day goes away, n next morning we get truest reading.
Maybe your Dr may put u on prescription water pill.
Durning the dy my lower legs n ankels swell. The more that I'm on my feet, the more that my legs n ankles swell. When I eat certain foods I not only bloat but I retain water. this also being temporary dyly water weight gain. over night most of swelling subsides.
A couple hrs after I eat, I half to walk. I do so in my home. Sometimes I half to go to mal n walk to rid myself of gas. Over night the tummy swelling from gas/food subsides.
Rmmeber it is ok to slip. it is normal n we all seem to do so. I know I do. But good news is we already know to get bk on trak n what works for us.
It is exspect for everyone to gain weight during holidays. again we already know what works for us n to get bk on track ASAP.
I too gave into sweets. I gained but that just means that I half to watch my cal in take n cal out put more close ly.
The other day I tossed out white sugar n baked goodies. Yesterday morning, reluntantly I tossed out a new double layer box of chocolate candy :(. I had to for my health. I knew I couldn't trust myslf to just 1 pc..I know that during holidays I would have ate the whole box.
I could have re gift the temptation of lovely box of colcolate but I care about other people health too.
Don't beat yourself up.
I am happy to announce am away from the 400s mark...lost 40 Lbs so far and am so, so very much ready for the new year!!!!
Wishing everyone a very happy and healthier ,Positive 2013....It will be an exciting losing journey!!!! :)
