I don't get it...
I've been on WW for 3 weeks now, consistently - I stay within 20 points everyday, and on the weekend I eat some of the flex points. I eat very healthy - usually granola in the AM, yogurt for a snack, salad for lunch, piece of fruit for a snack, and a healthy dinner, like steamed fish with veggies and couscous.
I also started walking an hour and a half everyday.
I know it's working - my clothes are feeling looser. But, the scale says I'm GAINING! I've gained 2lbs in the last 3 weeks...
WTH????

Re: I don't get it...
sounds like you're losing fat and gaining muscle
don't worry about the scale- it will catch up

I agree. Hang in there Beth. I went through the same thing. It took about a month and the scale is finally moving for me but like you I knew all was good because my clothes were getting loose.

Re: I don't get it...
When I start exercising, I always gain a and hold onto a few pounds the first few weeks. Your muscles can retain water for a while. It will come off...just keep doing what you are doing...

Re: I don't get it...
Keep doing what you're doing but make sure you are eating ALL of your points every day.
Really log your food down for a week and show it to your leader. Ask her/him to analyze it for you. There may be some annoying food throwing all of your hard work off.
I give you a lot of credit. Keep up the good work.

Re: I don't get it...
Thanks I vaguely remember the same thing happened when I lost all the weight before Yael - the first few weeks I was gaining. So I guess I'll just keep it up and hope for the best!

Re: I don't get it...
this is why I don't weigh myself
I let my clothes tell me if I am losing or gaining

Maybe you have PMS?
Ever since I had DS I gain 5 pounds every month when I have PMS/my period. Then, like magic it is gone.

Re: I don't get it...
Nope. Had my period a week ago - it was my first post-partum, so I think some of this might be my body readjusting itself after the baby now that I'm cycling again.

Re: I don't get it...
Frustrating, isn't it? I'm dealing with the same thing right now - eating well, working out, and not seeing ANY encouragement from the scale. My pants feel a little looser, but I'd really love something less subjective, like numbers to tell me I'm doing the right thing...
