The scale has not budged at all since Thanksgiving, it's shark week, and I'm in the throes of a massive midlife/identity crisis,,, and someone brought in a dozen homemade vanilla/chocolate chip cupcakes with thick, fluffy mocha icing.

Go to hell, cupcakes. You do not fit into my eating plan for today, and no matter how discouraged and disillusioned I am right now, you will not fit into my mouth either. The number on the scale hasn't moved in almost 3 months, but I'm not going to let that break me down.

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why I'm not losing despite sticking to a 1200/day diet and nearly daily exercise, not to mention increased water intake... even with all that, I'm stronger than the temptation.

Hi there. Thanks for your post. I have this problem. I have been losing inches but the numbers on the scale do not seem to change. I believe it is due to increased muscle mass and water retention.

Good on you that you did not cave into temptation. Keep your chin up and try to be positive.

do you weigh everything you eat with scales?
