I can relate...It seems so easy to gain weight...I'm surprised I didn't
weigh more than I did...You will return...Sometimes (at least for me) it's OK to enjoy more as long as you can get back on the wagon so to speak...GG "Willow Herself" wrote in message news Coming home from vacation.. 5 lbs up.... after struggeling so much against midwest food and working so hard at cleaning the house n stuff..

I'll lose a couple of pounds and then travel or some other odd ball events will cause me to gain them all back again. Then I struggle for weeks to lose those 2 pounds again only to start the cycle over again. At least I have not gained in the past 10 months but I have not lost anything either. It is frustrating. You say you are at a healthy weight. Where are you with respect with the ww highest weight for your height/age category? I have a ww member friend who got to goal about 3 years ago. She got below the WW recommended goal by about 10 pounds and struggled to keep her lower weight. Our leader finally convinced her to adjust her goal up by 5 pounds just to reduce the stress she was causing herself. Maybe your body is telling you that you should stay where you are and not lose any more weight. |

I'm in the top half of my range. I've got plenty of room to lose..
Being a leader myself, I've always made sure to be in my range and to avoid going out of it either way.. if only because I'm an exemple for my members.. I have maintained my weight at this weight (plus or minus 5 lbs) for 2 years.. I'm sick of it.. and I'm doing something about it.. even if it takes me all my life! Will~ "Laura" wrote in message ...

Will~ Willow I would just keep going, but give yourself 2-3 days to move the sodium out of your system before you get too upset. A couple of days is what it usually takes me to get the salt out. After that then weigh again and see if it is still up. Karen |

And the fact that you are at a healthy weight already should keep you from being discouraged. I think I am having many of the same issues you are right now. doug |
