Scales going in the wrong direction

Make sure you measure yourself. I often do not lose weight for 8-10 weeks and gain weight all of the time but lose a ton of inches. Don't let the scale measure your progress, there are too many factors that effect it.

I understand how frustrating that it can be but you have to really think about what you want. I would personally like to look like I have lost weight than actually lose it. You just have to get it in your mind that measuring and judging by your clothes is the true measurement, and it may not happen instantly:) If you keep working hard you will eventually get there, your body just takes time:)

Dont worry that's normal- you'll find you'll lose weight to begin with, but once you start building muscle, you will start to gain weight! Don't be put off by the scales- its easy done! When I first started loosing weight and eating healthily the weight dropped off then I started to gain weight and freaked out!! so my fitness instructor told me I was banned from weighing myself and get a tape measure and take measurements instead! Focus on waist, thighs, neck, chest and wherever else you want to lose fat from!! Youll feel so much better once you see that your loosing inches rather than obsessing over the scales!! Your weight will always naturally fluctuate so stick with the exercise and healthy eating!!! Good luck!!

As long as your measure yourself in the same spots, you are good. Although if you measure your ribcage probably not going to change much =P

I weight myself daily, but I don't acknowledge weigh/gain loss except for my 2 week weigh ins. You will fluctuate about 5lbs a day.

I personally hold on to the towel bar in my bathroom when my scale doesn't agree with the weight I should be =P
