Ok guys..... (Ive posted this on OH) but decided to post it here as well....

The inevitable happened. Got on the scale this morning, not only am I "stalled" I guess. I am up 3 LBS! LOL How the heck does that happen?? When you work out at least 4 days a week and consume less than 700 calories per day. I must add that I was sleeved on 9-15-09 and have lost 30 lbs, well, 27 since I gained 3 lbs back. I see posts about this ALL the time but gosh, until it happens to you.....you really dont know what it feels like! Also. TOM is usually between the 12th and 15th of the month, so that could be why im retaining.........This really sucks!!!! Just venting.

Help, I knew it would happen, just didnt know how horrible I would feel when I did.

Thanks for listening!:001_tongue:

Shanda .... just wash that thought right out of your mind - you know it's working - you're just at temporary loss - it's only water gain - so let it go!

I have never heard it called TOM before...lol

TOM = Time of Month, not really "TOM" sorry if I confused you.

The sad part Vegas, is that I know that its water weight. My little mind is very emotional right now, I guess. LOL

I dont know why Im so freaked out, every time that I have lost weight, I never loose weight during my TOM and I usually gain, so this is NOT unusual for me. I usually loose after my cycle.

Thanks for the pep talk.

Yeah, I think im getting weird and nutty (Thanks TOM). I see why people see this journey is like a rollercoaster ride. I was on such a high until a few days ago! LOL As Tiff stated earlier, "This Too Shall Pass":svengo:

You know what? I just noticed your weight loss progress. . . WOW you are doing fantastic! 30 lbs in a month! that is 1 lb a day! What a fantastic progress! I know you wanted it all gone yesterday! remember Rome wasn't built in a day. . . but before your surgery, could you have lost 1 lb a day for 30 days! WOW now here is progress! :thumbup1: How are you feeling today?

Feeling pretty good. You know you are right, it is a great weight loss. I should be ashamed of myself for feeling so bad about this stall but like all people that have been overweight, we want so bad for this to finally be "IT" for us!

TOM = Time of the Month

~sigh~ Now I am going through that 3 week stall. It is frustrating all right!

scale doesn't want to budge this week. oh well, at least you guys warned us about that and we too shall get through it. In the meantime, however, it is no fun!

Yep stoongal, the 3 week stall is a mess! But we will get through this!!!!!! We must hang in there

Hahahaha. . . I wanted to be thin 2 days ago, and when I get this surgery I better wake up thin! I know we try so hard all our lives and when this miracle thing comes around we want it to work NOW! But like everything "good things come to those who wait" Darn that waiting! :tongue2:

I'm stalling too! What the hey?

Might be that TOM although it'd be a bit early.

:tongue2: I sure can't use THAT as an excuse!

Me either ... and they can last a few days to a few weeks ... the best thing to do is just not weigh everyday because when the scale doesn't move it gets very frustrating ... I'm in another stall right now and I'm so close to onederland it's really ticking me off - :svengo:

Thats okay Vegas, we will put our boxing gloves

:svengo:

on for these stalls. LOL I dont know why put im really close to ONDERLAND to and this is ridiculous. I have lost a few lbs but im skeptical to say its a loss, so I am going to weight a few days just in case that scale tilts back on up.

:w00t:

Stalls are cruel and evil! If I don't hit onederland before my birthday, I am going to blow a gasket, lol!

I wish I could rember where that other post was about trying to get to wonderland...... But I have been on a stall for over a month now!!:sad0::welcome::mad:

I'll lose 2 pounds gain 3 yadda yadda yadda.....

I got to 208... and now am 211.....

( I'm blaming it on Beal Street!! ) I don't think I'll ever get to ONEderland:frown1:
