The comments I got today made me feel better so thank you, ladies! This morning when I looked in the mirror I felt and looked bloated so I am not too surprised to see such a gain, but then again my clothes fit me perfectly fine just like they always do. I did notice that I haven't been going to the bathroom nearly as much as usual and I've been drinking close to 150 oz. of water every day. Hopefully my system will get itself back in gear soon.
If anything this is really motivating me to better myself. The binging needs to stop completely. I can enjoy food without eating 2,000 calorie portions of it. I can choose one dessert rather than five in one sitting (e.g. the weekend buffet).
The coffee had a very bad effect on me this morning. Last night I had about 5 oz. of coffee at 6:30pm and was up until 11:30 when bed time is 10pm. This morning I drank a full 14-16 oz. travel mug of the stuff. At 6:15 I was drinking it in my car and feeling pretty good. By third period I felt nauseous, had the chills and a stuffy head. Wow coffee is like poison. I am limiting it to 2 cups a day.
The coffeemaker is pretty cool, though! It's a Hamilton Beach BrewStation Delux. It comes with lots of good settings, can make 12 cups or even just 1-4 cups. It's programmable and has a permanent filter and will even make iced coffee. What's even nicer is that I only paid about $50 for the store's floor model and it works great!

Hey there!
Im glad the articles helped you, sometimes we just need that comfort that everything is going to be okay. I promise it will be, I think if we had it our way, fluctuations would be gone as well as alot of other things! Our bodies are odd machines that we will never understand!
Anyways, I like the coffee pot!! Looks really awesome! Its one of those things that looks cool so you have to buy it! Oh yeah coffee can do that to you! haha. We live and learn!
I have really reduced my coffee intake. It was about 6 pots a day and that didn't include all the ice tea I drank too. Now I'm down to 2 cups a day. I have one of those machines that makes coffee by the cup.
I wish I could get in as much water as you. Maybe one day.
hey girlie - just checked in and saw your panic post. i know you've calmed down by now, but wanted to chime in and say it is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to gain that much fat in a day. most likely, you got hit by a bad-luck combination of water retention from eating salty foods (fries would be a good example, not to mention the alcohol dehydration effect), perhaps tom is coming up (it hit me last week even though i never thought i was affected weight-wise from tom), random daily fluctuations that went the up direction this particular day, and maybe just a little from extra calories.
You of course realize in order to *actutally* gain 5 lbs you'd have to have consumed an extra 17,500 calories BEYOND what you needed for the day. A whole 'nother DAYS worth of calories. That is impossible to do - you would puke first. Believe-you-me, this will correct itself in no time, especially with your extra-vigilence in the coming days!
Also, if you happen to get on the scale tomorrow and it hasn't fully corrected itself yet, stop that negative self-talk from even starting by reminding yourself that your clothes still fit and that is more telling than the scale - which is a dirty, sneaky beast!
Your picturees are awesome ! You are on the home page how about that ! I will be there one day thanks for staying on here even though you have achieved your goal that says a lot for the kind of person you are ! Thanks for being such an inspiration !
What's so funny is that you have hit goal. I helped you??? What??? That was weird to hear. I'm glad, though, don't get me wrong. I just thought it was ironic. We all have the same challenges, right? Glad you're feeling better now. Whew! I worried about ya for a minute.
Seriously, though, you make it seem possible to reach MY goal. I look at your blog and your pictures pretty much everyday. No, I'm not a stalker. I just know that I have doubts quite frequently that I will ever reach goal. And you are a real person who HAS DONE IT!
First I like to say congratulations on achieving your weight goal. I am the same height as you and I never thought I could weigh 115 at that height but now I see you weighing at 115 and thought wow that looks good. So I feel motivated to lose more weight. I've been reading your blog from the beginning to see your progress on your weight loss. Thank you for coming back and keep blogging. I really enjoy reading it. You sure inspired a lot of us.
I felt bad when I saw I missed your help plea on Sunday.. I would have been there for you like you are always there for me. So please forgive me. I completely agree with Bubble Butt, word for word!! NO way did you actually gain that in one day. It was definately water weight and my hubby pointed out to me sometimes embarrassing to say but we haven't gone to the bathroom lately either. You are doing so good and I know you will be right back on track.. :-)
