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'm
bummed..

Might be an up from plane trip yesterday (not moving and lots of salty
stuff)... but still..

It seems like everytime I make any headway... I find a way to mess it up...
ARG...

I AM at a healthy weight, but I'm NOT where I want to be..

All I can do is start again.... and again... and again....

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

I feel your pain. I seem to do the same thing myself. 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!

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.

Give yourself a few days and then weigh again. You know the plane trip
bloats you.

Absolutely! What alternative is there but to keep trying?! 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.
