Disappointing weigh in today........
I was sooooo disappointed today. I had bragged about staying on program this weekend, and not cheating. Well, I went to weigh in, and I was only down ½ a pound..... What a let down!! They kept telling me it was ok, it was a loss, and so we took my blood pressure. It was the lowest it's been since June!! I am actually taking 1 blood pressure pill every other day now, and will stop taking them next week to see if I can do without them. I am excited about that. Also, my fat percentage was down 1%. So, I guess I shouldn't be disappointed, but I was hoping for at least a 2lb loss. The girls said "Sherri, you traveled, you stayed on program, you passed up desserts. You are doing great!! You may even be retaining water from traveling. Stop beating yourself up!" I weighed in last Thursday and was down 2 1/2 pounds, so I really wanted another good weigh in. They reminded me we weigh in twice a week, and to drink lots of water, because when we travel, we tend to retain water. I know I didn't get my normal 120oz I usually get a day. Maybe being back home will help...... So, I'm hoping for a better weigh in Thursday.
Sorry for whining, I know I should be happy with any loss at all, but I felt so good about staying on the program and even measuring everything. I felt today like a failure. I'm working out, walking, doing ab lounge, measuring food, drinking 4 protein drinks a day, and taking the herbs & vitamins they prescribed. Could I be at another plateau?
Thanks for listening everyone.... Sorry to be such a downer.

Sherri, I know I am a bit late with this, but even 1/2 lb is better then nothing, or worse, gaining!! You are doing this the old fashioned way, and the results won't be as fast as they wold be post op... you are doing amazing so far, just keep following th eprogram, and making the smart choices, which is not always easy.. YOU CANDO THIS!!! you are now n a size 12, think where you will be next month, and the month after!!! Hang in there!!
