i think my scale islying to me. i have a regular one not a digital but i just use it to get a general idea of where i am. well it keeps saying ive lost 15 but i just dont beileve i have i guess. i havnt been eating super healthy i just cut my portions so im not eating as much in a sitting and im not working out 5 days a week or anything, like twice maybe 30 min each time and im mainly doing strength excercises....any advice ? maybe im just not beiliving it? or is my scale lying to me?

    Hunt down another scale to verify - if you have a GNC nearby, they often have scales in store. Ask to use a friend's. You can better be sure that way.
