Hi

Does it work the same when u gain....maybe I am fooling myself and the scale won't move then next week it will jump up 5 pounds?
I messed up over the 4th weekend and have increased my cals...I have been getting on the treadmill an extra few minutes here and there when I can, but nothing regularly...
Anyone feel like they've gained but the scale isn't moving?

Kim

    *raises hand guiltily*

    I feel like my body LOOKS like I've gained weight even though the scale's not moving...

    I try not to put too much stock in the #'s, cause I haven't been that faithful to the ol' exercise lately.. :sad: :sad:
  • i've had weekends of over doing it and not seen a gain... I think the odd days of extra cals the body can handle...
