Has anyone ever gained 3 lbs in a week.....eating the same things that you ate before and lost 3 lbs a week....and yet your clothes are getting looser and looser?

Help! I'm discouraged by the scale and yet I'm feeling thinner....workingout 5 days a week!

Getting another fill this week........

<p>It could be your scales or water retention or adding muscle mass or any number of normal bodily flucuations. You are doing all the right things. Have you been tracking your measurements? Sometimes the way your clothes fit is the best indicator. Don't weight too often and don't get discouraged!</p>

My goodness yes. I've done it before the band, and since the band as well. Your body is constantly changing. It will happen. Many folks find that taking measurements or just judging how they are doing by how their clothes fit is much better than following the scale.

Absolutely! Muscle weighs more than fat. Toning up you will lose inches before pounds. Keep going and the scales will move. I try not to weigh but once a week or 10 days. I know I am doing the right thing so I do not need verification but, it is nice to see every now and then to be able to update your goals.
