bummed out about scale not moving

i joined the Y a month ago and ive been doing all kinds of classes. yoga and aqua exercise primarily but i also do a dance aerobics class once a week and the elliptical. my husband says i look trimmer but the scale has not moved. how long is it supposed to take? maybe i havent changed my eating habits enough. blah. its just discouraging when that number stays put. thanks ladies!

Re: bummed out about scale not moving

this may also be because you're gaining muscle. it weighs more than fat so if you're losing weight but gaining muscle the scale may not move because it's a wash, you know? but muscle takes up less space in your body so you'll lose inches and look leaner. instead of weighing yourself, measure yourself and track your progress in inches lost.
