Weight not dropping

Kjarlune

Muscle weighs more than fat, instead of a scale, try measuring your loss in inches.
The scale is what caused me to give up a few months ago. Changed my strategy from "Am I losing weight" to: "Do I fit into this outfit? : ) For instance if you were say, I size 16, make your goal to fit into a size 14, and so on. I'm just starting over, so I can't tell you if this will actually work, but it's sure worth a shot! Sounds logical to me, anyway. lol! Good luck! : )

not trying to be rude. I just wanted to point out that a pound is a pound. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. I was so frustrated when I found this out.

Muscle does take less room however....from the sounds of it you have not found your right calorie intake.. Make sure you are drinking tons of water. move around your calories a little every day.....and have more fun at this....*grin*

fat and muscle weigh the same...again not trying to be pushy. For me it was very frustrating to find that out but now it makes total sense and I deal better. *grin*

Fat on top, muscle on the bottom. They weigh the same but you look thinner with more muscle, not fatter.

Hi there,

Your food diary is hidden... I was going to look at it and offer ideas.

Also, how long have you been doing this?

Do you have a way of measuring BMI? I'm pretty sure I'm building muscle mass which of course, makes your weight go up. I have an omicrom BMI scale which I like a lot.

Best,

Debbie
