Encouragement...

I have lost 100lbs! Great right? Well I have about 40 more to go
I started kettlebell, and although I know I am doing good by working out and sticking to 1250 calories plus exercise calories, I am stalled, if anything gaining weight.

I realize to not obsess over the scale,and it doesn't measure progress like my measurements probably can. But it is very discouraging to see me work my butt off and have the scale not budge or go up the past few weeks.

Am I crazy to think that I am NOT eating enough. Most days I won't hit the 1250 or won't eat my exercise calories, or that I am retaining water because my muscles have been so sore lately. I did gain a pound of muscle last week my trainer told me after checking which he said is amazing!

Just looking for insight and encouragement. Helpful hints also to break out of this plateau are very much appreciated! Please no snarky comments

Thanks!
