Hey.... I think you need to relax.... You're just having a bump in the road. Stop and regroup... If you need to you can even do clear liquids for a day, like when you get a fill..... Let your body rest from the little splurge it's been on and then just start again..doing the right things you know to do. Do you have a family to cook for or are you on your own? It's always so much easier if you don't have to worry about feeding other people... You'll be fine!! Just do what you know you need to do and you'll be losing again soon.. good luck.......Julie

Just think, it is now in the past. Try and learn from the weekend, look at where you made bad choices and have a plan in place for next time. Focus on solid foods and water. As I am texting this I am also taking to myself as I had a doozy of a weekend. I am going to try and have a plan of attack for next time. Just keep trying, every mistake is a chance to learn something new.

Hey on friday I weighted 187.6 On Monday I was 189.4, so I sort of freaked till I remembered one, I was constipated for two days LOL and I had a small bowl of Beef Stew. So today back on track and will weigh my self on Friday. Just want to keep it at the 187 or so and lose more next week. As long as I can control the eating it will work.

Don't beat yourself up....just remember that every day is a new one to start over with.

Never give up!! Keep going!

Also, do you think you might be due for an adjustment?

Thanks for all your good advice and yes i have two children to cook for they basically eat what i eat because they are a little on the thick side so im trying to show them good eatting habits so they dont have the whole weight problem when they get older i had my 1st feel a lil over a week ago i dont think i can get another for another month but maybe i should check and see again thanks and im def not giving up im going to start fresh tomm because tomm is a new day!!!!!!!

I had the same thing happen. Big wedding this weekend so there was non stop things to be trying and eating and drinking. Now that I am back home things are almost back to normal. I was jet lagged but got back on the tred mill anyway. (not that I didn't groan the whole time) :grouphug:

Just believe in yourself and what you believed when decided to get the band. You will do great!
