How are we doing? - Ready for weigh-in tomorrow?

I'm doing "ok" and NO I'm not ready for weigh-in tomorrow. It's the week before AF and I seem to gain more weight and stay bloated far more than when AF is here. I also tend to PIG OUT during ovulation. STRANGE because I never noticed it before having kids. Anyways, the scale is saying I'm weighing the same I have for 2 weeks so maybe after AF I might see it go down. At least it's not going up. Bummer is that I'm working out 5 days a week....where's my progress!!!!????!!!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: not really, I have been doing okay. I need to get back to working out now that I am better and not so tired at night. I am hoping for the same or a loss.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Karen I'm the exact same way. Af just got here today and for the last 2 weeks I have been inhaling all the chocolate I can get my hands on. I seriously need someone to lock me up with no junk food when I have pms.

So no, I'm not really ready either. I don't really think I've gained but it's definitely possible.... I guess I'll see.

coasterqueen replied:
Glad to know I'm not alone. Question for ya, did you have this issue before Andrew? It's so weird because either I didn't pay attention to it before having my kids and it's just more noticeable now, or it's something that's started happening after kids.

coasterqueen replied:
Thanks and you just reminded me to drink my water.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Yeah I've ALWAYS had this issue. Its yet another thing I've inherited from my mom - we're both comfort eaters. I've been trying forever to kick the habit but when the time comes around I just seem to lose my head.

ammommy replied: I don't expect much of a loss, if any. I just havent' been able to get my hiney off of the couch at night this week. At least I'm eating well

moped replied: I am in the same boat Karen, no loss in 2 weeks and I still haven't!

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well I was down 2 over the weekend and yesterday..

I got on the scale this morning..and it said I had gained a .. pts.. from my original starting weight.. I was so mad

I am bumping water and waiting till tomorrow.. I bet I work out good tomorrow!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Well I haven't been losing anything. I have been going to the fitness center 3 days a week and haven't lost anything. I am getting to the point where I tell myself to just give up, but I am not going to. I have no clue why I am not losing weight. I don't snack and if I do it is fruit or a low fat snack. Part of the problem is I sit all day long at work.

coasterqueen replied:
I know how you feel. I'm working out 5 days a week and not losing anything. Course I'm snacking quite a bit at work BUT I thought all the nursing I'm still doing would help out with that one.

I too, have thought many times of just giving up. One of these days the weight HAS to fall off us, right?

Sarah&Mackenzie replied:
I wish it would just fall off!!! LOL I have my yearly tomorrow and I am going see if she mentions anything about my weight.

ammommy replied:
Sarah, when you do eat something what do you eat? I have found that cutting out white flour, processed foods, and sugar has helped my weight loss. It takes some planning, but it is totally doable. Just something to think about. and don't give up.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied:
I usually eat a piece of fruit or a slimfast snack bar. I am terrible with breads though!!! I eat a english muffin w/ a little bit of peanut butter for breakfast every morning. I just can't cut out all my breads, it would kill me!! LOL

jem0622 replied: I have been going to the potty a lot today. TMI, I know, but hoping it will pay off on the scale tomorrow morning.

I haven't begun working out. I was going to buy an elliptical off of someone but money is tight so I didn't.

coasterqueen replied:
You are so funny! I'm trying to get there too, but not drinking fast enough. I better chug a lug.

Good luck tomorrow!
