okay, how crazy am I? I've been tracking my calories and trying to stay really close to 1200 calories. Trying hard, hard. hard to loose weight. Working out, drinking Water, and watching my calories.

Well, last week I said "to hell with it. It's not working my way, and I have a fill scheduled." I had a couple of days where I was above 1600 or well, darn close to it anyway. Ice cream, chocolate, chips, snarff.

I figured that I would punish myself by going to the gym and using the scale. (The dance studio doesn't have a scale that I've found...) Well, imagine my surprise when I discovered that I'm down a pound.

Sometimes the body needs a quick kick in the rear - sounds like a day of fun eating was what you needed to start losing. Good job. Celeste

Congradulations, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. You are always helping everyone out here with your kind and insightful and amusing thoughts, so it's about time something really good happened for you!!! WTG!!!!!! I wish you much more of the same.

Congrats Vine...you totally deserve it!

Congrats Vines! My scales are finally moving too! It's about time! WTG sister!

Isn't that the BEST !!! Congratulations

Woo Hoo - That is good news..

Thanks guys! But I want to know why when I go crazy eating I lost a pound???? Counter-intuitive.

Congratulations Crystal. Keep it up. You know the band works in mysterious ways.

Hey take it and run!!!! Good for you!

Congratulations, Vines

I can't answer your question as to why this happens, but I've noticed the same. During football season, we would go to pregame functions full of food. If I had a few vodkas and some good potato chips and maybe a slice of cake, I always was shocked to see the scale go down on the following Monday. Its bizarre, but it does happen occassionally.

WOW that is awesome!!! sometimes the way we lose weight is by shocking our bodies once in a while.... Im do happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo

You lost it I gained haha... How are you hope life is treating you Good! I added weights to my weight loss program uped my calories from 1200 to 1600 Gaining! Quit that.

I hope that you meet your weight loss goals! take care JOHN

Maybe fluctuation in the calorie level is the secret answer of the ages!! I say, whatever works! Go Crystal! Go!!

:]

Way to go....I can't answer your questions but I agree what ever works go for it.

Our bodies are crazy and do what it wants, when it wants.
