Scale Will not Move??

I have been execising, I have been eating right. The scale has not moved since Monday. Still at 240. But I have noticed my rings are so darn tight. Retaining water and cannot figure why. Any suggestions. BTW, though this has been hard battle over the last 3 1/2 year. I am SO HAPPY that I have my band.

The best advice I can give you????

Stay OFF the scale.....

Easier said than done I know.


It's amazing how much the scale can mess with our minds

All I can give you is my sympathies....I have the same problems!!  I have even see the scale go UP this week, and I was eating right and hitting the gym hard!!    It's not made me a happy person!!  ha ha ha!! 

I do retain water at the drop of a hat, and know that has some to do with it.  I also know that even though I am doing most things right, I haven't been that good with my water this week.  Have you been drinking your water?  

For me it means water retention.  Is it time for the monthly?  Or are you eating a lot of processed foods which generally have tons of sodium? 

It's only been four days.. you have to give it sometime and you need to make sure your drinking enough water.

I know we all want instant gratification but we didn't gain how much weight in four days.. we gained it over years.. so it takes some time and lots of effort to get the weight off.

Good Luck

(I only weigh in every two/three weeks so when I see a loss whether it be 3 pounds for 6 I'm excited either way)

 237 and am so excited. That is 12 since Jan. 15, 2011.  I have decided that I will go get 1 cc (I had 4 taken out last April). I will go next Friday.  I feel like the one will help me. I know I do not ever want to be sick like I was last year.  I was desperate going into my 3 rd year anniv. I paid for that. No more speedy go fast marathon. I am choosing to go steady.  I have also learned to stay away from high sodium stuff.  Weight gain galore.  Bought the biggest loser juliann protein choc. powder, had it last night. Very good. I did 1 cup ice, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tbsp p.nut butter, 1/2 cup 1% milk and 1/2 cup water.  I am proud of my self.
