Yep, so crazy. I’m low carb and yes the inches are coming off but dang, there’s nothing more discouraging than 2 extra pounds when you are working so hard. Yeah Yeah…I understand why…but it still sucks #YoureNotAlone 

Muscle weighs more than fat. Measure in inches not pounds. 

I know discouraging....However, I've been told that weight loss is not linear....so ride it out. I try to remind mysself of that during times like this. You can do this! 

we all have this you have this 😞 

Stay strong! 

don't let this derail you, it can be a slippery slope at times. Carry on!  

I feel you. Hang in there. 

I reckon it's just water weight. Don't give up! Keep going  

Fluctuations. Although i weigh half my daily ones are double than yours. Since you do not even cheat you should not worry at all. Body measurements are more reliable than scales. 

Stay the course. Just keep working your program. I know it's discouraging. But the scale will move downward if you stick with your plan. Just don't give up! 

Same scale? Same time of day? Good night's sleep?...could be lotsa things, but don't stress! Just keep doin what you know works for you! 👍👍 

hello kickingcarbs, I just want to share my experience with the scales this past week. I weighed on my set weigh day, recorded it as I had lost a bit. Then a loo trip & out of curiosity, I stepped back on...to a 2 pound increase! The next day, I weighed, scales show a 3 pound decrease! Today, same pattern. initial loss, reweighed after loo trip, scales showed a 2 pound increase. the fluctuations are maddening. but at least I'm showing a consistent downward trend.  

Nancy hill! Thank you so much for sharing that. It definitely gives me some of my faith back. I’m going to keep kicking no matter what the scales say.  

glad to help, kickingcarbs! And FAITH is powerful. With belief & faith, I know you can and will keep on kicking! I even have a name for my scales... Evil Lying Bastard!
