Mary Ann's Journey

[imagood1]

Mary Ann - when you have that urge to eat something bad take an ounce (or two if you have enough carbs) microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften it, then put some cinnamon and a packet of splenda and stir it up -- it tastes wonderful. Or instead of cinnamon add vanilla extract -- it tastes like ice cream.

Another sweet thing for me is a flax cookie....it's a little sweet, crunchy and keeps me regular!! If you need the recipe let me know!

Take an ounce of what?? You got me curious now.Today I bought a pair of size 12 jeans. My jeans are baggy in the butt and legs, I wish the stomach would go away. I need to exercise to get rid of it. I dread that.

Mary Ann, my jeans have the same problem. Baggy legs and butt, but the waist still fits. Rats!

hey - at least some part of your pants are baggy...that's a win in my book!!! The waist will come, it's just a little slow.....better the waist fitting than not being able to get them up because of your hips or butt!!! Silver lining there ladies -- you just have to look for it!!

How are you doing Mary Ann? I haven't seen a new post from you in a couple days....that makes me nervous...or it means I have NO life and spend TOO much time on this board....ROFL!!!!!

I hope you are doing well!!

I'm disappointed. Today is my last day of Induction and I thought I was doing pretty good. I lost 5 lbs. I got up this morning and I was back up 2 lbs. Where does this come from? I don't want to bounce from one diet to the next. I wan to find something that I can do everyday. I'm past the sugar cravings. I just don't get it.

MaryAnn, it is probably water weight. It could be from any number of sources.

Give it a couple of days, then weigh again, and I bet it will be gone again.

If it's not, we'll try to help figure out what's causing your problem.

[imagood1]

it happens from time to time -- I've read a lot of people have that problem...they will bob up a pound or two then will loose 3 or 4 and they aren't cheating it's just something their bodies do.

Don't give up and don't skip to the next diet, that won't work, if you aren't happy with the plan I can understand you leaving but a small setback isn't worth throwing it all away. It took you more than 14 days to gain the weight, it will take longer that 14 days to loose the weight. It's not a quick fix you have to work at it...it will be ok in a couple days -- give it a chance please!

I know the frustration. Post what you ate today and maybe we can see something that you don't
