    I haven't weighed myself in 3 wks, due to this same reason .The scale is bs!! I can see my progress, but if the scale doesnt confirm the progress, i feel dissappointed, and i can't stay motivated if im dissappointed in myself. I figure it will take 1yr to lose the 60bls i want to lose, so why let the scale torture me every wk for a yr.I kno im doing everything right and i dont need the scale to validate me. This is a life style change so the weight will come off. I'll weigh myself once every 2 to 3 months, my losses will be greater and i wont drive myself crazy worrying about the scale. Good luck on your journey!!

    I do the same.

    Rollercoasters...waves....isn't if funny how we visualize this.

    I see it as a bouncy ball on a staircase. It bounces on one step for a while until it rolls off to the next step, then bounces a while there.

    Yes, it is frustrating. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

    Same here! It's always a combo of TOM and exercise. I'll gain 5, keep it for about a week with slight ups and downs, lose it, stay.there for a week, lose, lose, lose then BAM! Up 5 again, rinse repeat. The biggest hurdle for me was to stop reacting as if something was wrong. I don't stay off the scale like these smarter ladies here but instead of freaking out....Now I have to change everything! I'm doing it wrong!....I've resigned myself to the fact that my body just wants to do it this way. I'm in a healthy deficit, I'm active consistently, I'm getting stronger and I feel better about myself. Those 5 lbs can kiss it.

    I have experienced very similar results and decided that I will no longer let the scale depress me or determine my daily mood. The scale is no longer my sole measuring device. I am doing what I need to do and the clothes are looser each week and co workers and family congratulating my success is so gratifying!!

    Good Luck and keep up the hard work!

    That has just started to happen to me after losing almost 40 pounds fairly quickly!
    I was losing consistently every week and then it stalled and i have begun a cycle of no loss, slight gain, big loss (3 or 4 pounds!). not sure what it is. i chalk it up to being a complex woman!!

    Same thing has been happening to me. It can be a little frustrating.
