I weighed myself yesterday... it said I was down one pound, I'm not sure I believe considering my weight fluctuates so often and stays within the same numbers.. But at least it moved right? Lol. I know I'm eating better and working out so I don't feel bad when it stays idle for weeks, maybe more cardio? I'm already at 3 times a week cardio and 2 strength training days.

    Out of curiosity, how often do you weigh yourself? And do you do it around the same time everyday? Weight can not only fluctuate a few pounds every day, but will vary depending on the time of day. This is why it is generally recommended to only weigh once a week.

    Also have you considered taking measurements?

    I tell my clients to have a pair of jeans, or an article of clothing that they want to fit into, and to try it on weekly or even monthly. That, and measurements can be a better sign of success than the number on the scale.

    Good luck to you!

    I ALWAYS believe when the scale goes down. There are several reasons for the scale to show a false increase but I honestly can't htink of any reason why there would be a false decrease! Take it and be happy!
