The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Weigh in Wednesday… Posted by Cindy on 10/22/2025, 8:56 am How’s it going?

For me… Posted by Cindy on 10/22/2025, 11:09 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…" Up .8 of a pound. Moving on.

Great attitude Cindy Posted by Cindyh on 10/23/2025, 3:51 pm, in reply to "For me…" keep this up. This is where it’s at!

WIW Posted by Delta on 10/22/2025, 6:37 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…" I am up exactly another pound today. I went to have my teeth cleaned, and she said even my gums and lips are swollen. I have been on plan this week and tried to make sure to get more walking in. I don't know what else I can do, so I will keep plodding along.

all you can do Posted by Cindyh on 10/23/2025, 3:52 pm, in reply to "WIW" is what you can do right! Time will show it

Last week's and this week's Posted by Delta on 10/24/2025, 7:24 pm, in reply to "all you can do" gains gone today plus 2/10 away from another one. Wednesday will probably be up again. There is something about weigh in day.

Mine Posted by Cindyh on 10/22/2025, 11:56 am, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…" stayed the same and I’ll take it.

Great Posted by Delta on 10/22/2025, 6:33 pm, in reply to "Mine" attitude! You have been doing well. Just keep doing what you know that you need to do.

274.8 Posted by Krista on 10/22/2025, 9:04 am, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…" Down a lb. Don't get me wrong, down is good. And don't anyone say "It's better than a gain" I have had 3/4 of my stomach removed and eat very little so if there's anything going on, it's not eating ENOUGH. But once again, I admit not enough walking and not enough water. I know what to do (and maybe this will be the week I do it!). But also have talked to fellow patients online who remind me to "trust the process" Onward!

Could it Posted by Delta on 10/22/2025, 6:32 pm, in reply to "274.8" also be Cortisol? One doctor I saw told me that he bets most of my problem is Cortisol from stress. He said that it is almost impossible to lose with a lot of Cortisol running rampant. Can you do yoga, meditate, more praying, more walking (if your feet hurt when you walk, that may cause more Cortisol; you haven't mentioned how your feet are doing lately), something to get rid of stress, or use the Cortisol? Often, after having a big loss initially, it slows to a crawl for a bit for your body to figure out this is normal, get on with it, instead of thinking that you are in an extreme emergency and starving to death, so that it has to conserve calories like crazy. That is why we can often lose 10 pounds or more in the first week of a low-carb or a big calorie deficit, but over several months, it averages out to 2 pounds a week. It will come. You will get better at the exercise and water, and getting your protein quota every day as you keep practicing. Don't get discouraged. Just keep practicing, getting better at what you need to do every day.
