wk #3 maintenance

[Smharrington66]

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...

Where do you live Sue? I'm in southwestern BC and the weather has been
great here all week. Monday and Tuesday are supposed to bring rain though
:(

Your jeans will weigh more than your shorts, so you probably did have a loss
this week. Wear tights or something to your next WI and I bet you'll be
down. Good luck losing a few more pounds and at WI next week.

Brenda is right, the jeans probably account for most if not all of the
gain.

Yup, I may be back in jeans for the next weighin, also. And possibly
long sleeve shirt and not t-shirt. It is quickly approaching that
time of year.

..2 is GREAT for maintenance, Sue! It's just like you actually maintained
because it's such a small change it's not worth listing as a gain. Hope
that made sense. GOOD JOB!

Hey Sue. If all goes well I get lifetime later this morning. Can't think
what won't go well. My scale hit a new low this morning. Just wanted to
"weigh in" here, but eating that extra 4 seems to have kick started a little
additional loss for me. It has not shown up on their official scale, but
then I quit going in the micro cotton shorts to weigh in, quit going
fasting, and several other little things that I used to do to be sure I
lost. My average weight graph shows about a 3 pound loss for the 6 weeks of
maintenance. This morning I got another new low on my scale. I have also
been very active up until this past few days while fighting a cold, and
eating all my activity points.

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?

Yup, I am freezing all the time - driving my hot blooded hubby nuts. I wander
around the house in sweaters, then also throw the comfy bathrobe on for even more
warmth. I now know what my skinny no-blooded daughter always complains about. <G>

[Brenda Hammond]

It sure is weird, when I weighed 35 pound more I was never cold. I drive DH
nuts too, I'm walking around in sweat pants and sweat shirts on a sunny day
and he's in shorts and a short sleeved t-shirt! Even people that come to
visit complain about how warm it is in the house (we have nice big windows
in the front and get sun all day). Anyway, I'm quite comfortable with the
temperature in here... My mom and sister are the same way, both like their
warmth.

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.

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

[Prairie Roots]

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.

Fred, your cooler weather must be heading Idaho way. The weatherman is
saying it's going to start cooling down. It's been up in the 80's, close to
90 the past week or so. Ridiculous for this time of the year!

My DH says I'm always cold - doesn't seem to matter what I weigh! However,
I hate hot weather too. If the temp stayed between 65 and 80 all the time,
I'd be happy!

Well, generally, I guess, you do get our "used" weather over there.
Other than when you get a cold air mass that was used in Canada first
(G)

I'm a 65-70 type of person. Went bicycle riding today and needed my
wind vest - it was chilly out there.
