OMG!!! H_E_L_P!!!!

Ok GUYS!! I am far from stupid how could I have let this happen?? Yesterday our local gym and Health Dept. Were holding a Weigh in for a weight loss challenge.Prizes are not huge but very well worth having. OK I get on the scale and (ARE YOU READY) I have gained 14.5 pounds! OHOOOOOO ****TTTTT!!! I know back to the basics I guess I just need to hear suggestions from you all tomake me feel better. I know I can get rid of this with your help yoyu have alwaysd been there for me. Gayle are youstill here. It has been awhile since I have been. That is my problem!!! HELP!! PLEASE I have til March 14th to rid myself of this crap!! ~JEN~ aka- Jonesin I am almost 5 years out and this is the VERY FIRST gain I have EVER HAD. I am sooooo disappointed in myself.

You know what to do.. go back to basics.. lower the carbs.. raise the protein and track your food.  Just set your mind to it and it will happen Carla

Thanks you Carla. I know you are right. ~JEN~

Congratulations on choosing to face this... I agree that you know what to do. www.fitday.com and www.sparkpeople.com are both good sites to help record food and exercise and motivate yourself.  Good luck!!

For real, 14.5 is not much although it seems a lot to you. And in no way am I trying to minimize your concern what so ever ! Just shift your thinking to more positive....you could have gained a lot more believe me ! So, this is a good thing. Stop gaining there & try to re-focus on the rules again. I'm 5 years out too & have re-gained a lot more than you :( I know, I'm disappointed too. Remember, it could be worse...just don't let it. Good luck sweetie.

Congrats on catching it before it was out of control!!  Good job! You know how to lose it, you've lost a WHOLE lot more than that, this will be easy! ;o)

My doctor put me on a new medicine I'm up 8 pounds. The documentation on the drug says 20 to 40#'s. Over my dead body.  I am 3 years out and this is my first weight gain. I watched the scale go up a pound everyday. I am running almost 5 miles in an hour at the gym 5 days a week and really watching what I eat. The drug stops my bad daily headaches but I can't stand the weight gain. I want to keep taking the drug because I feel better so that means start working harder to get the gain off.
