wk #3 maintenance

I bet it's rather safe to say that the salty meal as well as the jeans are what
caused the very slight gain this week. Don't sweat it! We've all feared adding
those 4 points back into our regime. SuzyQ made a wonderful suggestion quite
awhile ago. Try adding 1 point back into the scheme and see how that goes, then
maybe another one for a few weeks. By doing it slowly, nothing should go too
wacky for you to handle.

Hi All...

A little depressed this week. Gosh, does it have to be cold in October? Just
put my heat on! I was feeling so badly about life, that I actually underate
one day! I've never done that! Anyhow, I went to weigh in this morning (in my
jeans, not shorts as I have been for the past 4 months) and I was up .2 pounds.
I suppose it's good for maintenance, however, I haven't added the 4 points to
my target, as I still would like to lose. I hope when I do add the 4 points
that the scale doesn't go berzerk on me. I really thought I'd be down this
week. This is the first time I've been up in a long, long time. The only
thing I can think of is that I ate very salty food last night. Oh well...

Yea, this cold weather can make you a bit down in the mouth! But on the positive
side, you weighed in in jeans & they are heavy!! If you had been in your shorts,
you would have had a loss! As it is, that is a maintain - so congratulations.

You did well Sue - 0.2 is hardly anything to worry about. The jeans and the
salt have probably combined to do bad things. You'll do fine next week I'm
sure

Yup. I figure my body has lost an awful lot of insulation so it's
going to take it a while to adjust. I also found that I had much
better heat tolerance last summer. That's a good thing.

It's gone the other way for me! I have fibromyalgia, which can give you
what I call 'cold flushes', where you feel like someone has dowsed you
in ice water, and you can't get warm again! I have had fewer if them
since I started WW! I still feel the cold a lot more than DH or James,
but not as much as I used to! Funny thing is, I hate excessive heat as
well!

I am definitely running cooler with my weighloss.

And in Seattle, we are having the exact same weather. I got above the
fog yesterday by going into the mountains. We were near 70F at 5,800
feet while seattle's high was only 54F

We are having lots of fog here first thing in the morning. The cooler
weather is on it's way. The five day forecast is calling for two cloudy
days, then rain! I didn't really mean tights as in leotards or the like,
but those nylon/lycra legging type things. I wear them around the house
sometimes (if I'm not too cold). I find since losing some weight I am cold
much of the time. Does anyone else find this happening?

A few years I carried a small fan with me to most meetings because I
always felt warmer than anyone else in the room and people wouldn't
allow me to lower the thermostat. Now that I've lost weight, I'm
colder than anyone else in the room and people won't allow me to turn
up the thermostat. I've taken to wearing long underwear and carrying a
sweater with me. If I could type wearing mittens, I'd be in business.

My constant chill is another reason my furnace outage is causing me
such misery. 61 degrees in the house never used to be a problem.
