okay. Having a dilemma today. I have been working my butt off: Zumba, now running too (try to twice a day but sometimes one), eating COMPLETELY gluten free, and didn't even get to celebrate xmas with family this year so I didn't pig out at all. So I get home last night and weighed myself b/c I was feeling big....138! wtf. Last week I weighed myself and I was 133 and I haven't done anything wrong. Well so today I rechecked it to make sure when I woke up and it said 135....ugh. I took my socks off and got on it again and it said 129. rechecked that with and without socks 2 or 3 times and it was the same. 129 w/o socks and 135 with. which one is right? I'm confused! I don't feel 129, but I dont' know what that would feel like Anyways. I passed up being with a good friend last night b/c I felt gross and disgusted that I could work so hard and gain so much weight back. But now I'm confused. Anyone know anything about these electronic scales?

Don't focus on the scale. Drink lots of water and allow your body to flush the toxins (that it could be holding in). Best time to weigh is in the morning. Are you eating enough? If you are working out as much as you say, you may not be eating enough...

If your scale is the type that shoots a pulse, then you needs to be in bare feet for an accurate reading. Socks weigh very little. Put an object you know the weight of (like a 5lb weight) and see how accurate your scale is. exercising a lot can lead to muscle edema (where your muscles retain water to help them heal. It's temporary. You can go up quite a few pounds from it. Fueling your body with enough protein is also important (and healthy carbs). Make sure you are tracking your food properly. also be careful about over training. If you feel too fatigued, it means your muscles need a rest. More is not always better with exercise. It's better to have one really good workout than two not so good workouts. Good luck!

I agree with Suzi161 I too have notice a wt gain yet I feel I hv eaten healhier and exercise 6X a wk. My scale is always off as well but I try to only wt in on Mondays only once in the morning and go with that reading, other wise you will get different readings. Best of Luck,

I eat plenty and drink lots of fluids. I work about 3-4 days a week and am always on my feet and try to get a run in at the end of the day or maybe in the morning. I only am doing Zumba on the days I am home (also 3-4 days a week). I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe it's the muscle thing. I just am stuck at the 130-140 range and it's frustrating. I'm so close, but yet so far.

btw did I mention you guys are awesome. Thanks for takign the time to help me out. I think it's time to buy a new scale, this one is always making me unsure. I CAN tell that on xmas day me and my coworkers went to the movies and I wore some nice clothes I hadn't worn in about 10 months....they were baggy on me. I was SO happy. so there is progress, I'm probably just being impatient.
