Mornin Sweetie...

What is your most current bodyfat measurement?
Tape measurements?
How are your clothes fitting?
How do you feel when you look in the mirror?

Seriously, Back away from the scale hun...you are stressing over nothing.

What Buns said!!!!

Girl you need to stop stressing over that little number on the scale.

Are you taking pics of yourself? If you're not then start take them once a week, post them if you'd like, but if you don't that's fine too, keep them to track your progress. Check your bodyfat.

Stop looking at the scale it will drive you nuts. I went from about 20% bf to 14% and only dropped like what 2lbs on the scale.

Thanks Buns and Miss24K for the encouraging words. I know the scale is not the be all and end all, but it is just SO discouraging to see any kind of gain on it!

I had my bodyfat tested 3 weeks ago at 23.25%. I'm going back next week to the same trainer to get it done again. I'll also ask her to take tape measurements this time. Otherwise to me, it just seems that I look the same and my clothes fit the same....we are after all our own worst critiques!

But I so appreciate the support from you great ladies...I'll continue hanging in there. Patience, patience...I may eat my own hand while waiting tho'.
