A new weighing scale

I just got a new scale and it is 3 pounds heavier. yuck. One month is not a long time. Go easy and don't give up. Maybe add some exercise to your program. If you are eating only 1200 per day, you will lose weight.

Mondays are my weigh in day........keeps me focused over the week end. I weigh first thing in the morning. Be patient. I've been at this since September and have lost 18 lbs. I finally realized slow and steady wins the race. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I am waiting on a new scale and SO nervous it won't give me the same reading as the one I have been using.

...Don't forget - muscle weighs more than fat! Also, if you are working out a lot - your muscles will hold water which tends to make them weigh more. I find that if I stick to eating healthy and within the calories limit set on my plan coupled with sticking to a varied exercise plan - the scale doesn't really matter that much. I think your clothes will tell you how you are doing! For example, the scale may say that I have gained a pound or two - but my clothes actually fit better.

Hang in there and pat yourself on the back! You are doing something positive by exercising and eating healthy!

I've found myself becoming a little impatient with my progress as well, but it just takes time! Try adding at least 30 minutes of cardio per day into your workout plan, with possibly some strength training 2-3 times a week. (don't do this without consulting a trainer, it's dangerous to do if you don't have any previous knowledge) If you're not sure what type of cardio you would enjoy doing, trying out some different exercises and stick with the one you like best! Switch it up every once in awhile. That way your body doesn't get accustomed to a "schedule" and you'll shed the pounds much faster! Good luck dear, stay motivated, the numbers will come!
