Just about threw my scale out the window... - Phentermine.com

Myrydnine10 · April 6th, 2005, 03:24 AM

I am so completely frustrated today and on my way to being depressed.

I got on the the scale this morning and it was UP from 207 yesterday morning to 211 this morning. I was so mad, I tossed it back under the table and just about cried. I dont understand what the heck is going on. I am at the gym at least 5 days a week - sweating my BUTT off - literally - my crack is soaking wet when I leave and at the MOST my calorie intake has been close to 2000 each day and then some days barely 1000.

I am so sick of fighting this losing battle and im about at my wits end. The funny thing is - I can forsee what I will look like when I look in the mirror - I can see the flat stomach and the toned arms and legs so I dont understand what my problem is - as to why im not getting there!!

Im at a loss today - really I am.

I know how you feel. If you are at the gym that much tho its possible you are gaining muscle weight which weighs more than fat weight.
I know that doesn't help tho.

I agree with Sherri, you might be gaining weight because your building muscle. Dont give up, your doing great. You keep doing what your doing and you will see that flat stomach and the toned legs. Sometimes the scale will alter our way of thinking. Watch what you eat, drink plenty of water and exercise. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh sweetie I'm so sorry for you frustrations. You made me sad and my eyes actually welled up because I understand how you feel. It's so upsetting and nothing I say will make the scale say anything different. I hate that sooo much and really feel your pain, it's just not fair. Please understand that you are doing everything right and it may be a muscle gain. You need to try to keep up that great work. I hate the scale I really do. I know people tell me I need to weigh myself but I can't bring myself to do it. I'M SCARED. I don't know if I can handle it and if it doesn't go down then I'm afraid of what I might do. I haven't weighed myself for 2months. I think I'm losing the inches are coming off. Clothes are begining to fit and my face looks thinner. People are telling me I look great they ask how much have you lost? I simply say I don't live by the scale because I can't bare to be disapointed. I'm going to muster up the will after tom leaves which probably will be next week and I'M SCARED. How often do you weigh yourself? I hope not to much. Weight can fluctuate so easily due to alot of different reasons that we are not in control of. Please keep tryin and maybe back off what the scale says and go my how you feel and look. I hope I helped and I may need you in a few wks to help me because I really don't know what to expect. Good luck to you and you keep up with the geter done challange.

Oh real quick, I planned on weighing myself after i saw signaficant amount of change. When I got down to a smaller size that I felt comfortable with then I was going to do it. I figured I better do it sooner. Just bite the bullet. I know i'm nowhere near goal thou. I just don't want to get discouraged at how much I still need to lose to be at goal. I'll keep you posted. I hope I helped a little bit.
