I really hope this scale is broken according to it I've gained 2 pounds how is this even possible I'm following all meal guidelines and even working out a little what's going on I hate feeling this way it takes me back to my over eating due to stress or depressed days I don't wanna go back there

It's as if you wrote my post for me. In the same situation. This morning and yesterday the scale went up a couple pounds and I've doing everything I'm supposed to do and then some. Trying to be patient and not be discouraged but it's definitely reminiscent. I'm typing this as I step on the stair master. Let's try to stay focused and remember it's a part of the journey. Chin-up! We'll get there.

If you're exercising, if you're following your diet plan, if you're not grazing -- then you're fine. IF you're consuming fewer calories than you're eating in a day, then you WILL burn fat. Sometimes those pounds on the scale are caused by something totally different: maybe you're retaining water, maybe you're about to get your period, maybe you're building some muscle, if you're working out a lot.

Don't worry about it unless it goes up and stays up. Otherwise, just shrug a bit at the blip, and acknowledge to yourself that you're doing everything right. It'll go down eventually.

Are you getting enough calories? Definitely track diet and exercise and get enough nutrition. Don't worry about a couple lbs over a short time period, just stick with plan, it works!

Absolutely lol... I would be lying if I said it didn't. It's been a struggle mentally since the gain and this stall started. I've been focusing on looking at NSV and focusing on how my body is changing. I won't lie though I still feel like I'm doing something wrong and that I will never lose this weight... almost like I've lost all the weight I will lose which is silly because I've only lost like 13lbs and I know this is just part of the journey.
