Week 12 results (Jennifer)

Well.....I am happy to say that the fiber one cottage cheese did the trick. However, the scale was not pretty this morning and in turn has made me very cranky. I GAINED a pound is what that awful thing said. Seriously?????? After exercising 4 times this week I GAINED a pound? All that sweat and I gained????????? As you can tell, this a true vent session and I apologize for that. I doubt if the cottage cheese is what did it (other than the sodium maybe since it is pretty high in my opinion) because the calories and fat and carbs were around the same as a MF meal. So I really cant say that is what it is. I know I was slacking a bit on my water but I am positive I got my 64 required oz in a day. Usually I have well over 100 oz a day. So...that leaves the exercise. So the exercise put me into starvation mode? But yet I feel good, body and mind, when I exercise. I am at a loss for what to do next. Period. Like I said...cranky, and I have a head cold :(

If you just increased your exercise you will have a slight gain. It wont stay that way though. Chin up! This is just a small set back don't give up. It could have been worse, RIGHT? hugs...

Oh, poor thing. I hope you feel better soon! I'm sure you'll see a loss again next week!

thanks ladies. I was sitting here all ticked off and in a bad mood having my own private pity party. Then I decided I was not going to do this anymore. I asked the girls if they wanted to go to the gym (they have a playroom there) and they said yes and got all excited. So I got dressed, got them ready and didnt look back. I think it is better to exercise than to not. Right? I burned off some anger along with some calories. And yes, Lesia, it could have been worse! But I still have that doubt in my mind about Medifast and if I should be slowing the exercise. I have finally reached the point that I am not so heavy that I actually can and like exercise. I like the sweat. Who knew?!

One pound? And who was being positive with me when I gained the three earlier this week? It's nothing Jennifer. You're moving in the right direction. Be happy and positive.

John- I was thinking just that today. How I was so supportive and positive towards you and I am ripping myself apart :( I guess I just feel that if I follow the plan and if I am not eating the things that I want to eat (cookies, cake, pizza, McDonalds, etc) then I should be rewarded. I apologize for my rant and my pity party is over. On to the next week :)
