OK ~ Here is why I am throwing my own pity party. I tried to lose weight last week, something I don't do often. I did not lose a pound! Not one stinkin' pound...although I didn't gain any...but I ~
#1 Did not eat 1 Klondike bar
#2 Ate only..pretty much anyway...Good things (stuff GLORY would want )
#3 Got a "short" haircut
#4 Doubled flossed my teeth...TWICE a day
#5 Wore only "light" colored clothing
#6 Kept track of my beers...or at least as long as I could still count
Wow - I'm so impressed that you double-flossed your teeth, that I don't MIND that you didn't lose a pound... now go stand in front of the mirror and blind yourself with your own smile - you won't even SEE the rest of you!
That must be why i didn't lose a single pound this week....I didn't lean on the low side of the digital scale. I am going to have to go home and try that tonight. Then, certainly, i'll see at least one pound gone!!!
Yup! I hear ya loud and clear! I'm in the same boat! Been working out consistently, eating well, doing everything right. Okay, an occasional glass of wine....but that's it. Lost zip this week and zip two weeks in a row in July. The only loss was for one week out of 4. What's up with that!? MAN!!!! I'm not happy but I'm not quitting. I did lose a few inches but my clothes still fit basically the same.
Oh!! I'll have to try leaning on the low side of the scale tonight too. Wish I had thought of that.
Gary, don't fret. I'm positive it's because of your muscles - they weigh more than fat, right? At least your teeth are healthy
They should be for what my dentist charges!

I'm afraid to look, it wasn't that big to begin with

A good lean to the back left corner of ours gets ya about a pound and a quarter

You got it GROOVY ~ also by putting the scale in front of a fan you can take advantage of the wind chill factor ~ can mean up to another quarter lost!
Well now, there's your problem! You've got to wear dark clothing. For one thing, everyone at least looks thinner in black (and, in the end, isn't about how we look, not the number on the scale). Plus dark clothing absorbs sunlight, which makes you hot, which makes you sweat out all that water you are surely retaining that is preventing your true weight from registering on the scale.
Pity Party ~ All Invited
IT'S A PITY PARTY
You are all invited!
