29st 2lbs
-5lb (2.27kg) – 263lbs (119.29kg) to go
I just can’t even explain what’s going on here.
I Tracked. I didn’t eat too much junk. What little junk I did eat was Pointed and included in my daily Points. I didn’t exercise as much as I’d like, okay, but I got to the gym on Monday, I went to the pool on Friday, I got to my Spinning class on Sunday.
I went over my Points on one day – Sunday – and that was covered by my Spinning exercise Points, and I’m constantly being told to eat my exercise Points, or at least some of them. I didn’t eat my gym or swimming Points, because I didn’t even calculate them, in the hopes that they’d boost my weight loss.
But that’s a gain of 3lbs this week.
By this point in the game, I should be AT LEAST a stone lighter. Two or three lighter, if I’m being hopeful.
Not 5lbs.
It’s frustrating.
I mean, I started my period last night (during the night, even, argh!) and that could, all right, account for a pound or so.
But three? THREE POUNDS?
I’m seriously starting to think about chopping off limbs here, you guys. This is getting more and more frustrating.
Now, Renée was kind enough to gift me with a Sugar Doll Blogger Award in her latest entry.
Squee, thank you!
Not sure why I’m deserving, because I seem to be a pretty crappy weight-loss blogger, but. Thank you all the same. The thought is much appreciated, and it certainly made my day.
BUT THERE ARE RULES:

As a newly appointed Sugar Doll, I must do the following:
- – Thank the recipient (☑)
- – Link back to the giver (☑)
- – Reveal 10 things about me… Getting to that part, LOL. (☑)
So, ten things about me that y’all (hopefully) don’t know already.
Okay, so here:
- In the photo below, I’m twelve years old (I’m the girl on the right, in the white t-shirt and blue gym shorts). I’m about 5′ 7″ tall, in my first year of high school, and not only the tallest girl in my class, but also the tallest girl in my entire year and possibly the tallest student in my year.
I’m also pretty sure I’m ON a diet, and if I’m not, I’ve already been on a diet. I thought I was fat.
Let me repeat what I said: I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD.
- I have a pink stuffed teddy-dog, named Pinky, whom I’m had since I was (I think) two years old. He still sleeps in my bed every night, and it’s only in the past two or three years that I’ve stopped physically HOLDING him while I sleep.
- I own a king-sized bed, and I either sleep diagonally across it, or right on the edge of it.
- My hair was naturally black from birth (but both my sisters were born blonde), and is turning gray already. It’s a genetic trait inherited from both my mother AND my father. *shakes fist at them*
- I lived in Oregon for a year and three months, and had my first (sort of) boyfriend and girlfriend while I was there. I was 19 when we moved over, and 20 when we moved back.
- I have lived in approximately 16 different accommodations (houses, flats, dorms, etc), three different countries, two different continents, and one womb in my life. (Thanks for the loan of that womb, Mum. ♥)
- I used to play viola in high school. I’d love to start again, except I can’t afford to.
- My favourite movie of all time is probably Rocky Horror Picture Show, although it changes. Mum once got a phone call from my primary school head mistress asking that I please refrain from singing “Sweet Transvestite” on school property, because the other kids were asking questions, and it really wasn’t appropriate.
- I am a middle child: My big sister, Linda, is two years older than me, and my little sister, Lorna, is three years my junior. I am the only sister whose first name does NOT start with an ‘L’. As a bonus part to this question: my middle name is Elanor.
- My target weight is listed as 10st 5lbs. The last time I weighed 10st 5lbs, I was probably not even a teenager yet. I can’t actually remember. It may well have been around the time of that photo up there.

I feel really bad that you’re struggling!
If I can offer one piece of advice, it’s to focus 100% on diet for the next little bit – don’t stress about getting in exercise and don’t eat your activity points – at least until you figure out what’s going on.
Other than that, just keep eating healthy and being active and the pounds will start to drop off.
Most importantly, don’t, DON’T DON’T give up.
I hear ya.. those weeks when you do it by the book and STILL no result! I’m on your team! I swear…. congrats on the award! love the school piccy… how odd to look back at those old pics and see how hard we were on ourselves! Hindsight eh? Don’t give up.. Doll
I agree with Tara – don’t give up! It’s unfortunate that the scale didn’t move more. keep doing what you are doing, fingers crossed that next week and not more TOM will see a better result
love your facts – thanks for partaking! and you deserved it!!! (some people didn’t; I like to test them and they are proving me right!)
I am naturally born black-haired out of blondes and redheads. Mum says I was actually delivered by the milkman…
