Same here!! I was active on MFP a while back with moderate results, but after a frustrating few months, I'm back at it today. We can do this!

this is exactly what i needed to remind myself today. the scale can be frustrating (so many variables! - water retention, sodium intake, muscle gain, etc etc etc)

congrats that's an awesome feeling!! (and seriously great bargain shopping, too!!)

congrats!!! it can be so frustrating when the scale doesn't budge, but you are clearly on the right track!! keep up the good work

So I work out as much as I can (usually only 3 times/week) and try to eat healthily. I've found that I've put on some weight just due to my desk job and…

I think I eat fairly well (I try to!!) and I exercise for about an hour (30 mins cardio, 30 mins lifting) about 3-4 times per week. I haven't seen much change in my weight, but as you said - I didn't…
