Ok it didnt move that much just 0.4 lb. I had to step in 3 times to check if it was accurate. During the past week, Ive been reading how to break the plateau and took some advice from here. I ate more for 4 days. I set it at 1/2 loss for two days and ate my maintenance calories for the other two. Then yesterday, I ate 1200 cals, including a piece of brownie :) and this morning I cant believe the scale moved!

Ive been frustrated this whole month of June. I only lost a total of 1.4 lb for the whole month while eating my minimum calorie requirement. So I'm so glad that it moved again and hopefully it keeps going. I will keep zig zagging my calories and see how it goes. Yay! :laugh:

    For a whole month, my scale showed me gaining! (went from 235 - 240). I was following the instructions here. I was getting PISSED!!! After a month, my weight dropped like a stone! Im near my first goal (225). I know how frusterating plateu's are. I just keep telling myself I'm in this for the long haul. Helps me focus on the goal and not the scale. My clothes are fitting great! Thats what my step-brother told me to judge my results by...
