I couldn't get myself to post yesterday after my meeting and weigh in. Why? Cause the scale reflected another +.4. I was crushed. I so desperately wanted to see a loss. But as I sat through the meeting and listened to my Leader and others in this journey of Weight Loss, I heard something. Someone who had also gained 2 weeks in a row with .2 and .4, weird right? Was this a sign? She said, it maybe a gain but her clothes were getting looser and she had seen inches lost. Our leader agreed and stated something that I need to keep remembering, "If you keep going and working the program, you will see results in the scale".
I'm not sure why I got so upset. Maybe it was the fact the the receptionists saw that in the 2 weeks I have attended meetings, I have gained? I need to remind myself that I have been doing this for little over a year now, I am NOT a newbie by any means. Maybe I thought meetings would be this "magic pill" where I would automatically lose weight? Stupid to think I know, but deep down a part of me was hoping.
I went home last night and took out my tape measure. I have seen a half inch gone in my neck and arms. My waist and hips, just a little loss, but still something. Although I wish the scale would reflect my hard work (I did great this week on Core by the way), sometimes it just doesn't happen. Sometimes your body is fighting so hard to keep you at a weight. Its those times that I need to keep fighting through, cause in the end I will win this battle.

I've been on WW for over a year now, and even though I've lost 26 pounds, I've also been STUCK at 145-148 for the past 3 months. So I'm not losing, but I'm not gaining either. You're right, sometimes our bodies just want to keep us at a certain weight. We just have to stick to the plan, and try harder. =)
