Havent lost much weight but in the last 30 days... I have lost 1.5 inches on my hips, .25 inches on my neck, .75 inchese on my waist and .25 inches on my thighs....So as frustrating as it is to not see the scale move... I m still getting smaller

    i'm going through the same thing...sometimes it seems like the harder i push, the less results i see...i'm trying to remember what i did in week one to lose 3 pounds, because it's been itty-bitty weight losses since then...

    I honestly think losing inches says more than losing weight.

    I'm having the opposite problem, I'm losing weight, but not losing any inches.
    I'd much rather their be a visual change than something that my bipolar scale says.

    While I do use the scale daily, it has helped me improve on not relying on scale weight as much. I record my weigh ins on Thursdays, but my weight may fluctuate a good 4-5 lbs over the week, always higher on the weekends. This is due to me carb/cal cycling. As long as your seeing numbers drop on measurements, your doing the right thing. Please dont be discouraged when the scale doesn't move. It could be excess water your holding. Its very normal. Keep doing what you do and the weight will come off. Its not about how much you weigh but how GREAT you look :)

    I know the frustration but I try to remember 1lb of muscle burns about 40 or so calories and 1 lb of fat burns about 5 cals. It sucks not seeing the scale budge but it will soon. Keep up all the hard work!

    "Bipolar scale"..... I love it! That totally describes how my scale acts. One day lower weight, the next day up anywhere from 2 to 4 lbs depending on what I eat. (carbs and salt kill my numbers). Two days ago, my scale crept up 2 lbs each day and then this morning, I "magically" lost 4 lbs OVERNIGHT!

    At least now I know what the problem is.....it's not me.....it's my bipolar scale!!! ROFL :laugh:

    Everyone of us has the scale stop on us. BUT, this journey we're on is not all about the scale. We're get healthier and losing inches too. Keep up the hard work, you're worth it. Good luck!!
