Monday Weekly Weigh-In: 139 lbs.
Up 1 pound this week. Fluctuations seem slightly less drastic so I hope it stays that way. It's so much easier to lose if you don't gain a sparatic 6-11 lbs in 1 week and have to work all of that off before you can see a "loss".
If I stay within a 4lb fluctiation I will feel much better about that. I think if I keep strict as I have been then I might see some small successes in the future. Wish me luck and stay tuned! (if you're not bored to death of reading about my weight! Certainly isn't exciting for me!)

WEIGH-IN #16
Weigh-in for February 25th: 137.8
Went to a new OBGYN (it has been 2 years) and we were able to discuss the issue. First he asked about my stress level which is through the roof of course....BUT it always has been. No reason it should affect me any differently now seeing as how I'm always delt cards I'd rather toss in. :-)
I mentioned the bloodwork done about my thyroid and we just both assumed that my other hormones were tested. To be honest, I have no idea if they were. I'll take the paperwork to my next appointment wtih him to see if everything that should have been checked was checked.
So, baffled erica, baffled doctor. Offered a prescription that helps with metabolism and decreased appetite. My appetite is exactly the same after 1 week (not normal for other patients from which i've read) so clearly we are missing something. Something we'll probably never get to the bottom of.
I can't afford to continue the WW once this next segment comes to expiration. It's no use right now and I've learned for 16 straight weeks that I'm eating exactly the same as I always have. If I reduce it anymore my body will react as if it were in starvation mode. That's the opposite affect of what i'm reaching for here.
If anyone has advice past this, I'm out of ideas and about to get ready for what is the "permanent me" and deal with the gain emotionally and just accept it.
Don't tell me to work out. You try working 50 hours a week and hardly seeing your family and tell me you're eager to leave them and hit the gym. NOT FOR ME. I wish I had that luxury but that's not in my cards now or anytime in the future as far as I can see.
Would appreciate comments if you have other advice however!!!

WEIGH-IN #14
Monday WEIGH-IN: 138
3 lb loss from last Monday's weigh in. I attribute recent success with no alcohol....not much at all in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I never really have been a big or heavy drinker, but when I next to none, I get to save more of my "weekly points" that Weight Watchers allows you as extras. My first go-round at WW Online I tried my best not to really use them even though they are there to use. I think that is why I was able to drop the 40lbs as fast as I did.
But we all know that this time something else is going on.
See you Monday!

WEIGH-IN # 13
141 lbs
Yes, it's a gain, but another way to look at this is that I lost 5 of the 11 pounds I gained. I fought like hell to get them off though and it's not fair.
It's gotta have something to do with being 31 and have terrible genes right?!

Mid-Week WOW-IN # 1
Yeah, this is historical so I had to post it!
Weighed in at 146 last night! WTF?!!!!!!!!
It's almost laughable, only I'm not laughing - I'm a little frightened.
I'm about 10 lbs away from giving birth to Kiran...if I WERE pregnant! haha.
So, we were at like 135 just over a week ago, right guys? This is 11lbs increase! And of course that has been fluctuation - I am a woman and it happens. But what do you call this? _______________!
I have so many things i'd like to call it.
I'm sure I'll be like 128 for my actual weigh-in on Monday, don't ya think? Okay, maybe not 128. More likely scenario - if I eat right and avoid sitting on my behind - is about 150. (the way things are "moving on up" for me over here!)

WEIGH-IN # 12
CURRENT WEIGHT: 137.5
I suppose this is better than being stuck at 142 for the remainder of all of last week. I have absolutely NO ISSUE to take up with Weight Watchers, but I don't know if i should continue paying for it right now. It's clear that it's helping me lose, because I will see several pounds drop every week. The question is - what is causing the gain. Was an average of 3lbs a week when it all started coming on. Now it's about 5-7lbs and so that's really where i need to be putting my focus and energy. I know how to do Weight Watchers, I know how to eat right, so clearly i'm accountable in a way that should make WW Online a totally mute point. :-(
Exercising would help I know....but if i can't even find time to get to the OBGYN to look into this, then clearly I have no time to exercise.
