      I find that I am exercising. Eating healthy and logging all my food but the scale continues to go up and down quite a bit. So frustrating!!! My clothes fit better and my muscle weight is up but still frustrating

      I can completely relate. This has been my struggle for years. I don't necessarily eat healthy. But, I do log everything. Always (almost) under my daily calorie goal. If you are building muscle, tho you may not see that change you want on the scale. I went to the gym 5-6 days a week for 2 yrs, I lost 4lbs...I don't work out near as much, now. But, I do walk 5-6 days a week.. The scale has barely moved. It is incredibly frustrating. I just keep plugin along and hope I will get there one day. Hang in there. You'll get there.

      Hello, everyone! Just wanted to add that I am actually slowly getting there. I myself am being surprised at times looking at my capability to control my cravings [I have a huuuuuge sweet tooth than you can imagine]. I'm really proud of myself. I shall log my stats on the 30th as it would mark a month since I started this healthy lifestyle thingy

      Weight is the same on the scale. I am noticing small changes in the way my clothing fits..... Maybe I need a new scale

      So, I decided that I needed to weigh myself on another scale... As mine is not moving whatsoever... Talk about devastated! Yes, I was wearing my work clothes (heavy shorts) took my shoes off hoping to be of a little help... The scale literally read 8lbs heavier!!!! Really?!?! I know you subtract a bit for clothes...8lbs?!?! Heartbroken!

      I seem to be taking it for granted after losing 14 lbs in 2 months. I really hope to stay motivated and continue to lose 7 lbs per month so I can reach my GW by the end of August.
