3 weeks

Jadu786

It's been 3 weeks since I've been tracking calories! I have not checked weight because if weight is the same or goes up, I get frustrated... I do like the way I am feeling and what I am seeing in pictures.. so I will keep going for the next few months. Hopefully I will see results as time goes on.

In my opinion that is a great way to gain weight, I too get frustrated when the scale doesn’t say what I want it too, but if you avoid it for months you can seriously pack on 2 to 10 pounds each month.😳

@ChristineE63 I agree but you can tell if you are gaining weight by your clothes

Actually I disagree here. I think it all depends on the person. I do way better when I weigh in only once a month. Like the OP, if I weigh every day or even every week and my weight has not moved (which can happen some weeks because of water weight, hormones, etc.) I get frustrated and am way more likely to binge. Also I agree sometimes it's even better to track weightloss by clothes and measurements than by weight.

OP: as long as you are indeed tracking cals and doing good, I think your plan is solid. Well done on clothes fitting better, glad you found something that works for you

This. If your natural inclination was to maintain or lose then you wouldn't be here. Feedback from a scale is vital to the behavior modification you are attempting.
