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 frustrating1

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.0 -
May 23 - CW 190.6 down 1.6 lbs. I need to start being careful. I find myself starting to slip back into old habits. I can't give up yet! I won't!
May 16 - CW 192.2 down .2 lbs
May 9 - CW 192.4. Up .4 lbs. Slightly discouraged but realized I had a few set backs this week. I've come to the conclusion that I need to eat when I'm not feeling well physically. Not a good thing to do but something I need to work on.

I shall log my stats on the 30th as it would mark a month since I started this healthy lifestyle thingy1 -

Weight is the same on the scale. I am noticing small changes in the way my clothing fits..... Maybe I need a new scale0

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!0

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.1 -
