Scale keeps bouncing. 204, 206, 203, 204, 207 OMG, 202, 204, 203.

Going on three weeks of this crap.

Please don't tell me to up my protein or increase my exercise or cut my carbs or sell my soul to Satan.

I've already done all of these things. They don't matter. Sometimes you just get fecking STUCK for weeks and you suffer and glare at the scale and want to punch someone. It figures this would occur right before onederland. (shaking fist at the sky)

LOL.

Not looking for advice. Just wanted to complain openly so others experiencing this irritating reality don't feel alone.

To my brothers and sister in StuckVille....I feel your pain!

Ok I won’t tell you any of those things. I’ll tell you this in case your not doing it already. Cut out ALL liquid calories including shakes & drink nothing but water. Maybe that’ll help if your not already doing so.

The only thing I didn't do was sell my soul lol. [emoji23] I was in "stuckville" for about two weeks and it finally ended the other day. Yes, it sucks big time!! Especially when you are sooooooo close to a goal. We will live to see another day though...hopefully!

Seahawks...no worries! My point was...if you're stuck, too, you're not alone:)

My nutritionist assures me it's very common and that it's all about patience and remaining consistent.

Was just sayin....hey all you other stuck people....I feel your pain!

(I'm not really worried about it, just feeling kinda impatient)

I ain't got **** for advice to offer anyhow. But I can commiserate. I am sure you've done the whole "measure yourself" thing. How're you feeling otherwise?

I’m in bounceville via Stuckland too. Feckin scale goes 165, 164, 163, 165, 166, 164. Curse you scale gods! It’s been weeks. *grumble, curse, spit* ???????


Funny how it always happens around a major weight too. It’s like the scale knows!

It’s so frustrating this journey we all are on. I’m grateful but still frustrated.


I am having the same issue. How far out are you? I am just over 6 months and the scale keeps bouncing. It goes down and then it goes up and then it goes down and then it goes up. I too am sick of it.

I am right there with you AGAIN. I am at 184, 185, 184, 185.5, 184, 185, 184.5 for almost a month and was at 186 for a month too....getting old here literally lol

Let's just go get drunk at the nudie bar and raise hell!!!

Make sure to check the batteries in your scale if it has them. Mine were low and it was adding weight and not being consistent. I also discovered if its not in the same place on the floor it changes the reading high or low. Very annoying when it flips in a range of 4 lbs and you have no idea if you lost or gained!

I used to call that “Fat Kid Denial” when you start to make excuses as to why the scale is going up. Or when you put on a shirt and it doesn’t fit and you say “Oh this must have shrunk” or you try one on at the store and it is too small and you say “oh this 4XL must run small in this brand”
