    Wow, same thing happened to me a few weeks back. I was working out like no ones business and the scale wouldn't budge :explode: :grumble: I was ready to throw the scale out the window and go eat a whole pizza :laugh: For me, I realized I wasn't really watching my calories OR my sugar, and the sugar really sticks to me :grumble:

    oof ya, than it's prolly muscle mass, or it could be that you're not eating yoru exercise calories. Everyone here says you should eat the calores you burn :smile: I hate working out hard and not seeing results you want to see :sick:

    Sometimes when you start exercising harder than usual, your muscles cling to any water they can so you gain a bit in water weight. It happened to me a couple months ago. Then my body adjusted to all the new exercise, I peed my brains out, and I lost a bunch of weight at once. :flowerforyou: I know it's frustrating, but just keep in mind that eating healthy and exercising *CAN'T* be bad for you, so keep it up!

    wait, are you looking for help with this or just venting (perfectly understandable if you are). If you want help, can you give us your numbers? just telling us 1200 calories and you're exercising doesn't help very much with our ability to offer any suggestions.

    by numbers I mean, height, weight, activity level, when you eat, what you eat (usually), body fat % (if you know it), what kind of exercise, when you exercise, how long you exercise, any medical issues you have, what your goals are, and anything else you think might be important.

    good girl.. I would've tossed that thing in the fire too! Post again and let us know if it was the scale or if you had to throw the new scale out too.

    Sorry to hear it. :(

    But yes, maybe stats? Maybe you're not eating enough.
