 It has taken me some time to collect myself and write this blog after last week’s weigh in. It took me 4 weeks to lose 1.6 lbs and only 1 week to gain 4 lbs. This is one of those times when I feel like I am failing to hold the line. Last week I finally reached my 10% goal. We spent a long weekend in Dallas and I come back and I have gained 4 lbs. I think the feeling I am dealing with is more a sense of being lost. Everything I ate I wrote down. There were days I went over my daily allotment, but I did not use up all my extra points for the week. I didn’t walk as much as I have in the past, but I played golf two days and I made an effort to walk more on the golf course. I passed up food choices I would have jumped on in the past. I ate bites of things I would have never shared in the past. I just can’t believe that a few days of not being perfect led to plus 4 lbs. I have to say I feel like I lost. Four weeks shot to hell in one weekend. Is this the way the rest of my life is going to be…struggle for weeks and never be able to have a time to relax? Oh how I hate having to work to undo poor choices. Nothing left to do now but to suck it up and re-focus. This is your new blog post.

Hey Joe, Just a note to let you know you are not alone. I have been @ a 300 pound plateau for like 5 weeks now. I think my body was used to this area of weight for a few years a couple of years back. I think when we are doing the weight watchers program and doing a slow loss this is what it looks like. Monday at the meeting I weighed 303.6 and the week before I weighed 300.8. didn't like that at all, but I went home and pooped and went down to 301.6 so what the heck...hang in man. don't let the scale mess with your head they way it seems to for most of us. For me I'm declaring that a plateau is just an oasis on the journey of my program and treat it as a kind of rest stop on the way to getting my better life back.. maybe I'll see you saturday @ the run tex

One of the most frustrating things that I had to deal with while losing weight was having to lose weight that I thought I had regained....Even now, I am amazed how my weight can fluctuate 4-5 five pounds over a couple of days...again salt is the big culprit as it is hidden in everything....The weekly weigh-in is just a tool to keep you aware and engaged...the important part of the picture is the trend...You have made great strides...10% weight loss is a big deal...Stay focused and watch the salt... 10/5/2011 08:10:25 am

long term.. long term.. Kind of like the stock market. Stay focused and win in the end. In the mean time, I haven't talked to you. Nick's movie Munger Road was the number 1 per theater gross box office in the nation last weekend when it opened. Roger Ebert gave it 3 out of 4 stars. Yea!!!!!
