To my Dear Friend Mike from Michigan, I see your four pounds and I raise you two more.
Yes, Up six pounds in seven days. Is that even physically possible?? I'm like 82.3% sure that it's not. Despite the way it appears I have not spent an entire week sitting on my couch eating lard straight out of the tub. I have been working, a lot, and I even went to the gym once lol. The plan was to NOT weigh in until next Friday when I can give you all a more positive number but I needed to see it. Then I saw it and thought well I better not share it because that's just disgusting.... but then I thought, No, people need to know that I'm not perfect. They need to see that I jack it all up too, sometimes.
When I first joined this site I wanted to be friends with people like myself. People who had managed a big loss and seemed to have all of life's secrets to share. KingKeld was especially appealing, and fullabella & Classic also have extremely admirable losses. I wanted to know these people, get inside their brains and find out what they knew that I didn't. Turns out the answer to that was absolutely nothing other than the knowledge you gain only by trial and error and eventually success. The point of this is that I'm starting to get a lot of friend requests, and I can only assume its because "has lost 72 pounds" pops up next to my picture when people see it. That's fine, I'm not complaining in any way but I want people to understand that I'm no different than the person just starting out on their weight loss journey other than I've been at it longer. What this really comes down to, what really separates those of us who are successful from those of us who aren't is your ability to get back on that horse when thanksgiving knocks you way the hell out into BFE. Who can stay dedicated to the process in spite of themselves, In spite of everyone who is going to try to tell them they can't. When you believe in yourself and the process you will be successful, even if thanksgiving week you find yourself up six pounds.
So there it is, my hideous weigh in and the thoughts that came with it. I needed it, to see it and own it. Lesson learned. I will be going to the gym everyday for the foreseeable future lol, hoping to post a weigh in next week that I can be proud of. Still sticking with my goals, putting everything last week behind me.
30 Days till new years eve final 2013 weigh in. Lets make it great :-)
PS- for the record all of that delicious food never made me feel better, it only made me feel like shit.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Every week I have 2 sometimes 3 bad days. My weight jumps up 3 to 6. The secret is getting on that horse. Yes, I have done the 6 lbs in 3 days several times since I started my journey, and 3.5 months later I have 55 Lbs lost. So, you are absolutely right, the point is not perfection in our diet (although I am striving for consistency in my dietary intake); the goal is sticking to that long term plan and do the homework of burning it ASAP...... I have a safe bet to make. I know for a fact that your 6 lbs will be gone in the coming week (max 10 days), and I bet the world on it. Any takers?

I am honored you consider me a "look to" loser. But I'm so very human and misguided in the weight loss field. Wish I could give you more, but then I'd have hit my goal and wouldn't be whining about my gorge. Keep up what you're doing. You're okay. Really.

Thanks Yo. I need to hear that others struggle. Not that I want you to ever struggle. You need to know that for me - the buddie request was not due to your weight loss but due to your thoughts and method of struggle. The fact that you hit the gym and work out is inspiring to me - no matter how long it takes you to lose a pound. For me - I have plenty of folks who will help me rationalize why the weight loss is not important. But you are there to help me explain why I have to get back on the horse that bucked me off. You also inspire me to go to the gym even though I have not yet made it there :). Honesty is always best - especially here. I shall be honest too - I did not weigh in at all. I am scared to do it. Not cause of the food I've eaten but because I move it to the hard wood floor and I am almost sure that will change the weight. Plus the food. Im scared to death. I spent my entire vacation cleaning and cooking. No exercise. Then I worked my ass off to eat up all the food. Why do I do that. Still have the cheese and brussel sprouts to eat up. Now - I've done the moonshine sampler platter and plan to hit the beer next. Guess I can weight gain on moving the wii and booze. I'm rambling - sorry. Guess my buzz is on :). Sorry

I was exactly the same when my boyfriend and I had a slob's weekend! It's taking me longer than it first did to shed the weight again :/ although that may have been my decision to go on a diet that's more sustainable.
Glad to see that it has motivated you rather than disheartened :) Good luck, you've smashed it so far! x

Before I start replying I was re reading my post and noticed that something is worded incorrectly. When I started paragraph 2 I said that when I joined this site I wanted to be friends with people like myself with big losses; that's not right lol. When I first started I wanted to be friends with successful people with big losses, and dare I say maybe people think that I'm one of those people now lol. I never thought you sent me a request to steal my secrets Alex, lol. Whatever the motivation I'm glad the request was sent. Your support and encouragement means everything to me. I'm glad that I motivate you as well :-) I always strive to set a good example lol. Your weight will definitely change on a harder floor, I aleays weigh on my hard floor for that reason. If your weight is higher than previous weigh ins remember that the floor will change it and that your loss was real. Even if a scale varies ten pounds from carpet to linoleum (just an example) a three pound loss is a three pound loss. Does that make any damn sense? I hope so. Right now I've got my fourteen year old sister sleeping on my right arm while I try to type on my crap phone, I'm a tad distracted lol. Anyway, I also eat so that I won't be able to eat it later. Like I'm doing myself a favor lol. I went to the gym today and I'm doing a lot better. It seems to help for me, mentally, to get that physical activity in. Working out helps me do better with my diet. Not sure why. Another reason to consider giving the gym another shot. Dont be too hard on yourself Alex, its a lot of trial and error. Enjoy your drinks, we will figure tomorrow out when it gets here. Cheers! Thank you for sharing, loociieemoo. I'm trying to keep it positive, negativity certainly won't do any good. And last but not least, Classic you most certainly are a go to loser, I've learned a lot from you and I'm very grateful to have your advice and support!
