ok, so for the past 2 1/2 weeks or so I have weighed the same, I was getting kinda bummed about it until I decided to take pictures!
Even though I am not losing weight, I am clearly getting more fit than when I started nearly a month ago.
So I am learning to ignore the scale and focus on how I feel and look. ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Scales aren't the "be all" tools that people think they should be. They are motivational at times though!0

You look great! Keep up the good work!!! I have been having the same issue too...I've tried yo-yoing my calories and that has helped some to get a jumpstart on the weight loss again...it is hard when you have a number in mind...but I, like you, have the pictures to show that some good is actually occurring
We got this girl!!!

Nice work, it's hard not to let those numbers get in your head. It is clearly obvious you are making great progress. Keep it going!0

@AlexisAW, don't give up! I was getting discouraged, I am so glad I took these pics to give me perspective and keep me going. I was starting to think "what's the point??"0 -
Nice Job! What are you doing?0

I will stil weight to keep myself in check, lol. But I won't focus on it if the number doesn't go down much.
@Anthonydaman, yeah numbers can screw with your head, but I am glad they aren't making a difference. I am keeping at it.0 -
wow, that's amazing. Thanks for sharing
I was thinking about putting my scale away for a month just this morning- now looking at your post i think I just might actually do it!

Nice Job! What are you doing?
My favorite one right now is 10 Minute Mountain Climber
I do that one twice a day and then pick one where she does dancing type moves and do that once.
Her youtube channel is Tiffanyrotheworkouts0 -
You're doing Fantastic! I was just at the Doctors office yesterday and she told me to throw out the scale or ignore it for up to 3 months and go off of how i feel. So that precisely what i'll do! Great Job!!0

awesome job, and thanks for the reinforcement on ignoring the scale (to a certain degree). Its very frustrating to see the numbers are not dropping, but i do see the difference in my clothes. Which helps me remain encourged.0
