Sat WI Big Gain {Math Mistake)

[morahjudyl]

Dear Bcbers,

Today I had a scary wi! Appararently my leader had made a math mistake in addition last week and put the wrong wi last week. So instead of a loss last week, I had a gain and a gain against this week. So in 7 weeks, I have lost 3 lbs, not 6. Soo, my first reaction was to quit for once and for all. BUT, I am going to be even more careful this week and see what happens. I have obviously not been counting my points correctly. This past week, I have exercised 5 days, so I am going to continue no matter what and pull it in and continue. I will write you all an update next Saturday. I know that I will be successful. Have a good week. Regards all, Judy

Good luck to you this week. Don't forget though, 1/2 pound a week is a good loss - especially as close to goal as you are. I have to keep reminding myself of that, because I would love to go back to losing 2 or 3 a week, but it won't happen. Lillie

well I hear you on the slow loss.. I too have to watch my points.. I stayed the same.. at least u have had a loss.. and have u felt dprived?? the thing i remember is..yes I have to journal but I pretty much eat what i want( within reason) just may have to limit how much if it is a high points item..now when i go to bed.i am not thinging what i did not get to eat that day.. I think wow I had alot today.. i think my standstill is due to my body adjusting to coming off of a low carb diet i was on right b4 ww.. so congrats to all the losses and lets keep it moving.. graemlins/wave.gif

I'm a slow loser too. I lost 4 pounds the first week, but then gained 2 the second week. It was about a pound a week loss until week 8, and now I'm struggling to get past 159. I've been counting points and exercising, but sometimes it seems unpredictable what the scale will say.
