Ugh. Hitting that "frustrated feeling" again. Banging head against the wall. No way i am getting my 3 pound loss for the month of January come Friday. Third month in a row i have been tracking down or flat then shoot back up at the end of the month. Never anything to blame but myself.
Going to try extending fasting period next couple of days. Obviously have to be much more accurate in my food tracking. Have to stop eating earlier.
Tried eating more, eating less, drinking more water, tweaking macros, upping workout volume, lowering workout volumes, taking breaks, grrrr.... ok, end of venting.
Again - yesterday i post i am down in pant size(from 33 to 31, albeit a snug 31) and belly is shrinking (near 40, now right below 36) - but i should also be seeing a correlation in weight loss to some small degree. My fitness is pretty high and yes, definitely stronger and fully aware of muscle density vs fat and how it relates to the scale. Just one of those things that continues to frustrate.
A good day to you all.

You could still end up with a nice drop 😊 You are feeling the difference and your clothes are smaller ☺️ probably muscle and the body is weird lol. It’s definitely a frustrating though. You’re doing great friend! 💜💚

Don’t forget that “weight” can fluctuate 1-5lbs per day. Just keep going because NSVs (non scale victories) are what it’s all about! We all hit that “wall” here and there, but keeping at it and, like you mentioned, do a couple longer fasts and you’ll break through that barrier. You got this!!!

I’m in the same boat. Very frustrating. Just gonna be patient. I track every morsel, weigh, measure, drink water, workout hard. Just pressing on!

Hey, thanks I feel like a whiner. but yeah, the difference is there, JC, it should also correlate to some weight loss. and Cdubb, i like the new acronym, "NSV", which is about all I have right now. Definitely staying strong. 10 years of this, older, know that things are unique each time, Adef. And, Wifey, yours is the recipe i have to follow as well. let's hope a whoosh is around the corner for the both of us. Thanks again, you all, for the support. That's why i dig this site. always ready to support one another.

on weight flux, @Cdubb, you're 100% correct. i am not really focused on that, though i do weigh daily, i am never too bothered by going up or too excited about going down. i am more focused on the "trend" ... which, at the moment i thought i'd come down a bit vs. shooting up.
no one or no thing to point to besides self. something is not going the way i think it is, or i am kidding myself on intake. i think most folks should make themselves aware of the constant flux of weight during a day. the key part is weighing the same time daily which is about all we can do to get a real comparison.

A good day to you as well. You seem to really be aware of your body and your goals. Good for you. That’s absolutely wonderful. I learned alit just by reading this. It seems you are doing well. God bless and carry on 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

I weigh 6am every morning, after pee, before getting dressed. Last night I had a terrible sleep. Can a sleepless night cause this much havoc? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

No big. You know exactly what to do. Let's go! #grindtime #stayhungry

Try eating a protein heavy dinner. I makes you stay Fuller longer, at least it does for me. If I still get hungry after dinner, I drink a cup of tea with a scoop of collegan powder. It's flavorless and will really make u full. Bonus, it ups your protein.

thanks @najwa, @jimmie (i need the kind of drop you had recently but can't fast as long :) ), and @#1loser.
@wifey, yes, sleep has impact on weight gain. not sure if one night or multiple nights, but definitely part of the whole body equation that is beyond diet.
and @Diana, thanks - i definitely go for protein snacks in the evening, and typically protein heavy dinner but stop drinking much of anything after 8pm due to waking in the middle of the night and not able to get back to sleep.

I didn’t read any of the previous comments. I notice the more I stress over the scale, the more the weight wants to hang on. Less stress, more happiness helped me lose the last 10 lbs.

Are you measuring?? You know there's more than the scale.
29 Jan 20 by member: FullaBella

Yeah FullaBella i measure. there's just a point where i expect some correlation with drop in weight. I am pretty happy with pant sizes, belly etc. all good. and Moopie i don;t really fret a day to day flux, just one of those moments where i thought instead of up, staying flat would've been better. thank you both

Br_e_co, don't let your frustration be the enemy of the good. Frustration is a kind of stress and stress releases cortisol and cortisol levels affect weight. I would keep doing what you are doing, except stay off the scale for a bit, it's causing you to much stress!
