I am pissed, I gained 1lb this week. Seriously, I wanted to cry when she told me. I thought I was down a good amount. Ugh...in the last 2 years this was one week I didn't expect a gain, at all. I worked my effin ass off this week, neglected other things and worked out at friggin midnight! I wish I wasn't a girl that relied so much on the number because I feel good, I feel I look better this week, my husband was surprised as well. He thinks I'm getting smaller (thanks :) ). But I don't want to gain muscle at 190lbs! I want to lose fat and go down another 30lbs. Why is this so darn difficult for me? I can't quit but I don't want to settle for a size 16.
So I will continue on and hope it was just my body adjusting to my new workouts? Who knows, its just frustrating as ever.
Sorry for a downer post, I was just so peeved at that number today!

I won't lie. That just plain sucks and I would be pissed too. But after everything you've given it this week - it HAS to show up. It may be delayed, but it'll come. I'm hoping I'm right and that next week you'll be rewarded with a big loss.
Hang in there. It'll happen.
Our bodies work in mysterious ways that is for sure. Sometimes it takes a few weeks for our efforts to show up on the scale and believe me, I know exactly how frustrating that can be.
You rocked this week fitness-wise so be proud of that chickie!
I know how you feel, Sarah. The scale is a real jerk sometimes. People have told me over and over to not concentrate on that number, but it is so hard to not let the scale rule you. I'm starting to think that as long as I am making good choices, then that's something to feel good about. EVERY GOOD CHOICE COUNTS! I keep reminding myself of that because it's so easy to let the bad choices outweigh all the good ones you make. Feel good about all the healthy choices you made this week! You're doing great and the scale will eventually cooperate! Or else, we will get together and have a giant SCALE BASHING CEREMONY :D
Every once in awhile, our bodies prove that they aren't computers that just need the right code for the right output. But if you persevere, I KNOW you'll have a loss next week and maybe bigger than you expected!
Go on and kick the scale!!!! You will feel better (I would). LOL, maybe you shouldn't, you might want it next week :-) You can call it names :) I'm with Tiffany, it will show up next week!
I had the same thing happen this week and I was equally frustrated. Yeah, we don't only measure our success by the scale, but damn it, it's an important measure none the less!
Hopefully you'll see a good loss next week.
Ugh! I know the feeling! My weight went up 1/2 pound two days in a row and it was when I was exercising like crazy and eating right. Confusing for sure since I'm not used to my body doing that when I am doing everything right.
I hate it when the scale makes you want to scream!
This might sound ridiculous, but I've had a several friends agree with me on this...it seems that when I work out A LOT, the weight loss sloooows down. Don't know if it's muscle building, or our bodies holding on to the fat for dear life! After years of working out/dieting I really strongly feel (for me) that in order to lose weight it's 80% dieting and eating right, and only 20% exercise. (Working out is crucial, but it just doesn't drop the pounds like restricting calories does)....
food for thought maybe?...
you need to be really careful when you up your activity a lot that you adjust your food, water and sleep. You will see that pound and then some gone... don't give up!
