I have to say that I am totally there with you!!!!!! I started out at 199 got clear down to 164 and I just stopped doing anything.  I'm now back to 189-I also quit smoking (7 months ago) and I let myself concentrate on that and just started eating-haven't stopped since. 

I have been working out great 4-5 days a week (finally started to pay a trainer because I couldn't get myself to do it). I just can't get my eating under control.  Last night I was totally stuffed but I had more-it's like I'm afraid I'll never get to eat again.  Now with Thanksgiving I feel like I should just quit again this week and start over on Monday!!!!  If I try to be good I will just set myself up for failure this week.

That is my plan, I will do what I can this week but I'm not going to worry about it.  I will seriously start again on Monday (after all my family has gone).  At this point it's all I can do.  Now starting Monday I will kick you (and me)  in the **** to get started again!!

So,  187 was just a glimpse.  I have not seen it again but it is TTOM and right now I am miserable.  I am sooooooooooo bloated I can't even do up my pants.  I am hoping that is the reason.  I am pretty sure this week is going to be a wash.  I know I will exercise today, Tues and Wed but the eating will not go with it.  I have a ton of food to make and pies also, so I guess we'll see what we have to start with next Monday.  I can handle it, I have been at 189 for so long I seriously doubt I can do too much damage in 4-5 days. 

What are you all doing for the Holiday? 

Mines the 180's I've been stuck at 189 FOREVER!!!!  I am really tired of it.  I did see 187 on the scale the other day but it didn't last.  I just want to see the 170's at some point.  I exercise 4 days a week-will try to make it 5 or 6 this week and I will be really good with my eating.  Aiming for 1600/1800 and not go over at night for stupid stuff. 

Hang in there if you keep at it ~ it will start to pay off. 

Great job Jinx and denise you guys are doing great.  I on the other hand have still not moved.  Still 189.  I have been exercising a lot but it's just not moving.  I am starting to get frustrated!!!

I so know what you mean-I was doing so much better this time last year.  I really just want to scream.  I seriously have been working my butt off with exercise but the weight has not moved.  I can see maybe a week or two getting used to the different workouts but a month .

Well I'll be off the the gym in the morning-it sure as hell can't be hurting me right?

Have a good week everyone-keep working hard

Welcome back denise

I'm still the same 189.  I have been there forever.  I have really been exercising a lot but I just can't seem to keep it up over the weekend.  That will be a challange again this weekend because my husband is coming home.  We usually make a big dinner and have a few cocktails.  So I'm sure my number will suck again next week.  I guess I have to be glad I'm not gaining.  Maybe I can exercise to make up for excess calories.  I really don't eat too much I just don't count on the weekend so I am totally lost.

How is everone doing this week?

Still exactly the same here 189.  I have exercised a lot but I ate like crap all weekend-too much candy.  I've got to work on my eating this week-one day they will both come together and I will see it on the scale!!!  Getting frustrated staying at the same weight but I only have myself to blame.

Thanks for all the well wishes-finally everyone is healthy!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!!!!!

Oh, me too, when I said I was pretty good at exercising I meant for this last week-I am never consistant!!  5 days of excersie does not fix 3 months of nothing!!!  I am slowly getting better and looking forward to exercising.  I am hoping it will last longer than a month this time!!! 

April- it's amazing how a sick kid can take over your like and it seems like it takes forever to just get back to normal.  I hope yours is getting better and surgery goes well.  But with all that going on you haven't gained-that's encouraging!!  Hang in there.

Doing pretty good here, both kids at school and life is slowly getting back to normal.  I have been really good at exercising, now I just need to keep track of my eating better.  One of these day I'll get a handle on both exercise and eating and I won't need this site anymore .

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Hi all!!! How is everyone doing-Hi to all the new people.

So, I know I have posted a lot about illness lately but listen to this.....about a month ago my son got swine flu, about 5 days after he got back to school my other son ended up with strep throat, 4 days after he was finished with his antibiotic he got croup, the day after he stopped taking breathing treatments he ended up with swine flu.  Here I am staying at home again with a child who is sick.  There really must be something wrong with my house-I am just breeding viruses.  What is up with that??  How I have not got sick is beyond me-Please keep your fingers crossed-Thanks!

Other than that I have been doing pretty good worked out Mon & Tues and I can really feel my abs today.  I have not seen the scale budge but I know I need to get better control on my eating.  4 days of eating great does not compensate for 3 days of eating like sh**.  The weekends are killing me.  I am slowly doing better (I think).

I also believe that TOM is coming because I am getting pretty "stabby", my attitude is really going down hill.

Well, enough of that.  I hope everyone else is having a great day TAke Care

Didn't start off the week very good but I am getting back at it.  Had a really good exercise day and my calories are right on target.  My weight seems to be up 2 pounds but I'm hoping it's from the chinese food last night.  I usually don't count until Friday so I won't worry about it till then.

I really want a new driver's license.  My weight was horrible and the lady working there absolutely hates me.  I knew it was going to be bad when I walked in there and she was the only one working.  You should see my photo I can't belive the DL division accepted it-It really is that bad!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't even explain how horrible.  So maybe when I lose my weight I'll call first and make sure she isn't there and tell them I lost it.  We'll see.

Well, hope everyone is having a good day-keep working hard.

I am back to 187.5.  That was where I was 2 weeks ago so I didn't gain anything in my 2 week break.  I saw 185 and 186 on the scale this week but Friday is the only day I count-went out for pizza last night with my boys, that could be the problem.  I know I have been doing much better this week. 

I have really been struggling with hunger this week.  I will be at my calorie limit and still feel like I'm starving.  I have been chewing gum when I think it's just in my head or I'll have something small.  I know it will take a while to get the somache shrunk back to where I was when I didn't feel hungry.   I just keep wondering if I will ever be full again.

I'm a little sore today and pretty tired-it seem like I can't get enough sleep but it's cleaning day and I need to get to work on my house-you know those toilets don't clean themselves!!

Good job-hang in there

Good job Shana!  That's great.  I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy yourself!!!

I did good again today.  I worked out at home then met a friend and went for a 4.5 mile walk.  I was pretty tired.  Volleyball took a lot out of me last night.  We only had 4 players so we had to work our butts off.  I woke up this morning and I was starving.  I ate some yogurt then went to work out.  Eating good so far today.

Tonight is my son's last night of football and he wants to go out for pizza.  I am going to save some calories so I can enjoy myself and indulge in some pizza.

How is everyone else?

You guys have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Maybe it's just your body trying to tell you to take a break for a few.  Just eat at maintainance for a while giving your body and mind a break.  Then after a a week or so get right back at it.  I've read a lot on this site of people taking a break and then they begin to lose the weight when they start back.  I don't know-it's just a thought.  It must be frustrating-sorry.  I don't have that problem-my problem is getting back at it.  I know I can lose weight if I exercise and watch what I eat but I talk myself out of exercise and talk myself into crappy food. 

Fatbust-you've lost quite a bit-good job.  I really need to warn you though-I was doing just like you and lost about 35 pounds and I got into that rut also.  I really did talk myself out of exercise and very slowly started eating bad-it was one little thing at a time.  The next thing I knew I gained back 25 pounds of what I had lost.  Now I have to lose back what I had originally lost and it is so frustrating.  I really believe your body and mind need a break-like I already said above.  Hang in there and don't let it go to far or you'll be starting over like me!!

Doing good here.  I have exercised the last 2 mornings and I feel good.  Had a 700 calorie deficit last night!!!!!!  But this morning I am pretty hungry.  I worked out hard and I still have volleyball tonight so I know I can eat more today and still be under.  I am a little sore today, hope it doesn't screw up volleyball tonight-oh well.

Hang in there Shana, April and Fatbust-if you keep with it the plateau will break!!!!

Well, I am finally back at this again.  I got one kid over swine flu then my other one got strep.  These last two weeks I have accomplished nothing!!!!  I did not work out, I did not watch what I ate.  I just took care of sick kids.  So-as I said before-I am starting over again, again and again!!!

Did not get on the scale but I am starting the week off right.  My goal for the week is to work out 5 days-I know the eating will come slowly because I have been so bad-it will take awhile to not feel like I am starving-but here I go!!!!!

Welcome to all the new people who are starting over too.

Good Luck

I like to grab a piece of gum when I'm finished with dinner but my stomach has not registered full.  Once I start chewing it I feel fuller and don't want to snack.  If I have gum right after dinner I don't pick at leftovers while I'm cleaning, it makes me feel full and I don't crave snacks.  Brushing your teeth is a good idea too-I'll do that once my jaw gets tired!!!!!!!

I haven't really got back to exercising but I am eating better.  My family is returning back to healthy and so far I have not got sick.

On an even more depressing note-it is snowing today .  That basically means we will have this crappy weather until the middle of June-almost nine months-that's almost an entire pregnancy (not me!!!)!!!!!!  Anyway enough of my whining. 

Take care!!!
