HELP!!!! got completely off track this weekend. Ate fast food, starbucks, etc. Had a big family party to go to. As a result I gained two pounds!!!! How the heck do you gain two pounds in one weekend. Trying to get back on track, and doing fine with that, but am getting really frustrated and down when the scale doesn't give me the result that I want. Right now I am feeling like I am going to be fat forever. Anyone have any advice for me?

Hi, my only advice is to drink A LOT of water and put some lemon juice in it. That usually helps me a lot get rid of all the extra water retention from eating the junk. I am sure if you eat totally clean it will come right off, also step up your exercise a notch over the next few days. Let us know how it goes!

This week was no change. I was expecting to gain weight. I coach gymnastics and my girls had states this weekend so I was running around crazy and snacking a lot not eatting very well and I didnt get a chance to run like I ussually do. So I guess I am happy with stable.

Today is my last day of my 3rd week. 2nd week on this challenge and I lost 2.8 pounds! I'm soo excited. I would have like to seen the 10 lb mark, but that was pushing it! I can't believe how easy the weight is coming off! I'm excited to see what my next weeks measurements are and wi!

Good luck ladies! Congrats on the losses this week! Keep up the good work!

I was happy with stable last week. I knew WHY I didn't lose, and I think that's just as important as the actual losing. Next week's WI will be a better week for you!

Thanks! I did much better yesterday stepped on the scale this morning and was down about half a pound so I know it was just my crazy weekend and I can get back on track.

Thanks for the encourangement Jewely! I did what you suggested and upped my workouts and my water and today I am back down to last weeks weigh in of 162.6. Hopefully I won't be going off track like that again anytime soon. By Monday I felt gross, physically from the junk I was eating and emotionally because I was eating it! At least I know why I went so off track, so if those particular circumstances come up again, maybe I can find other ways to deal. Thanks Again!

Volumizing Tip: I am not a fan for Mac and Cheese, but I have been trying to stick to the planned menus. I found in a great idea in the creative recipes book. To your Mac and Cheese, add 1/2 of a tomato, sliced thin and 1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and cook as directed This adds a strarch and a veg to your meal, but it was great!!!

Wins for the Week: I went shopping for a new pair of capris and I was finally able to fit into a size 14!!!

WOO HOO!!! Stuck to my plan and I am down 2.4! I couldn't exercise at all (doctor's orders ) so I was pretty bummed out expecting little to no loss. There were many many times this week where I was craving this or that (even a Big Mac!) but I drank tons of water and thankfully was able to deal. This was just my personal validation, now I know this plan truly works!

[Jewely]

Well not sure what happened this week but I have only lost .04, yes I am glad it's still going down! lol We have been spending a lot of time out in the pool and in the heat here in AZ, maybe I havent been getting my water in? Or maybe it's just time for my loss to slow a bit. So as of today I have lost 13 pounds in 4 short weeks and have lost 3 inches on waist, 3 inches on hips 2 1/2 on Abdomen and 2 1/2 on chest and 1 inch below chest. Also 2 inches on each thigh! So I am looking at the big picture and laughing at the scale. ( yea right) Good luck everyone and congrats on your losses this week! And for those who didn't lose or didn't lose much this time... next week is OURS! lol
