Okay I have been on the P90X program for 3 weeks now and I can tell my clothes are fitting better and I have A LOT more energy but that stinking number will not go down on the scale!!! My husband had to poke a hole in my belt so I know I am going in the right direction. I am 5'11" and I am stuck at 205 it is killing me! Tonight made a deal with myself to really really watch portion control--that I would say is my big down fall I love food and I want more of it!! In 3 weeks I have been below my calorie count by 200-350 calories I have slipped up one day and went pretty far over--by 500 calories but I am back on the wagon!!!

You realize your growing muscle (which weights more than fat) and loosing fat - not to mention the tone and health improvements you are getting. Forget the scale - it's lying to you. Celebrate your NSVs, because they are victories! Why did you start this journey? To have a certain number on a machine that will change if you drink a glass of water, or to be healthy/look sexy/fit into smaller clothes/make friends jealous. You are succeeding in the last four goals, so dump the scale and focus on being proud of you, cause to be honest, you sorta rock.0

Thank you very much!!!! You are right I need to embrace the wins and forget the number---hard to change the mindset!!0

Maybe try to cut back on your sodium. Sometimes (for me), when the scale won't budge, it's because of sodium. Just a thought!0

Your muscles will retain water as they recover from all that work. 3 weeks is not quite enough to grow muscle for most people. My hunch is water retention - perfectly normal.0

You should really give yourself a minimum of 3 months to really see a difference. Hopefully you took messurements so you can see the difference. If not - take them now and pictures. The scale doesn't tell all!
Good luck in your journey0
