The scale reads.....

exactly what it should read but my clothing all feels snug. Any ideas on what could be going on?

I have not changed my workout and have been eating relatively the same.

I can't figure it out!

Re: The scale reads.....

I actually thought that, but nope!

I am thinking of going to a nutritionist and when we move in a month or so I will begin with a personal trainer...so hopefully I will be able to figure this out.

Thanks for your help!!

Re: The scale reads.....

It's a terrible feeling....but at least you went to the gym....that's a start!

I have always just watched what I eat...never went on a formal diet...I don't know if I will be able to do it. If I dont go to a nutritionist I am thinking about the South beach diet.

I am not a believer in the Atkins diet by any means but if you wanna drop a few give up bread for a few (and crackers, you know carbs) just for a little bit and go to the gym or walk a half hour a day (any exercise will do)
just dont live on meat and cheese like the atkins diet eat chicken and tuna ...you will lose a few lbs right away I promise

Re: The scale reads.....

Maybe you have been eating foods that are high in salt. Salt will make you feel bloated. You should be drinking at least 6 glasses of water a day...If you arent drinking that much, this may be why you are bloated....Now mind you 6 is a minimum

Re: The scale reads.....

I actually don't go by the scale at all - I heard that fat weighs less than muscle - but muscle is always going to look better - no matter what a scale says.

Thats just my point of view.

I try not to go by the scale either. I haven't lost any weight lately and yet I look and feel thinner and my clothes have gotten looser, but I've been gaining a lot of muscle.
