Well.... another crappy week on the scale. I am only down another .6 for a monthly total of
-1.4/10
I'm putting it in blue because that is how I feel. But I'm trying not to be depressed, because I know that I tried. I exercised 4 days for at least 30 minutes (and usually 45 or more), I ate UNDER my points EVERY DAY, journaled every bite I ate and drank my water (at least 50+ oz every and and usually much more). I am watching my intake of artificial sweeteners and getting my good oils. The ONLY other thing I can think of doing is to INCREASE my food intake. That is the only thing that makes sense. I never use my 35 Flex points, so I have to think that perhaps I am just not eating enough. But I am almost AFRAID to eat more. I have a short time until our trip and I will be so disappointed if I don't lose AT LEAST another 5 pounds. And I was actually aiming to lose closer to another 10. But unless I lose a limb, the way things are going I'll be lucky to lose the 5. The 10 is just a pipe dream.
SORRY to rant. DH doesn't give me ANY support in my weight loss (probably due to guilt, since he probably knows he should be eating healthier also), and my Mom is away. I don't really have anyone else to talk to about this and I just need to vent to people who will understand. Thanks for being there.........................P
Totaling 3.6/6.0 for March
I too, think you need to eat some, if not most, of your flex points. I've done ww many years and when I'm really being faithful and journalling every bite, I have always lost more weight when I ate most of my flex points, and even lost when I've gone over the 35 by a few. I think they are included to make sure you give your body enough energy, especially when you are exercising. It is so frustrating for it to come off slow, but I do feel that the slower it comes off, the more likely it is to stay off forever. Be patient, and try to eat at least half of your flex points, and see how that works. Good luck.
