Weigh-in once month

candiigraham

Yesterday I go to weigh myself and no weight loss. What the hell! I did what I was suppose to do all week. I could have gotten discouraged, but say "I'm not giving up!" I go make my usual breakfast and look for something to wear. Decided to see if a pair of Capris (that didn't fit last month ) looked any better on. And "hot damn" they do. I took out the tape measure and low and behold my stats are an inch smaller. So, from now on the tape measure and clothes are my friends. Any body want a scale?

The scale tends to be a dieter's worst enemy. You can always tell your progress better by the shape of your body and the way your clothes are fitting you. Great job on your progress!

Good for you! Unfortunately most scales only give us one piece of information. Body weight. It does not give us body fat %. And that's the most important thing.

When I began using MFP, I did weigh myself weekly. I saw no weight loss. I was frustrated but didn't give up. When I got on the scale week 4, I weighed 5 pounds less *shrugs*. So instead of putting myself thru the weekly weigh- in nightmare, I do it monthly.

It is very easy to sabotage the food intake based on the no weight loss. I usually weigh the same for 3 weeks or so, then drop 2 lbs, then stay the same, then drop. I tend to agree with you, but still hit the scale every week just to make sure I am not gaining. It also helps to focus on fitness: speed, distance, amount of weights/ resistance, effort, etc. That way I feel good no matter what!

Congrats. It's possible if you're working out that you've added some muscle in place of the fat loss.
