When will I see a change in the scale?
 

I am currently doing Weight Watchers to lose those last 10-15 lbs. Not much is happening and am losing VERY SLOWLY! I recently started weight training and cardio (again!!!) and seems like I am slowly gaining weight each week. Now I know that muscles retain water etc... but shouldn't I be seeing a difference on the scale by now? Unfortunately, Weight Watchers only acknowledges the number on the scale and I am going up!!!! My clothes don't feel any different and I am pretty sure I am eating enough. Just curious if it takes a month, 3 months a year or what???? I sometimes feel that no matter what I do I am just destined to hold on to this extra weight!!!

Thanks!

I am not sure how long it takes but have the same questions. All I can say in a positive way is I have started being brutally honest with what I am eating, the quality and the quantity and my clothing is getting looser. It does take some time at my age, so that is my excuse at the moment.

If nothing else, you are getting healthier. :carrot:

Not to be discouraging but it took me a full year to lose 10#... Last year I lost nothing :( , maintained, this year so far nothing either... What I do know is that I am NOT honest 100% with my food intake AND I am not consistent. I'm good for 3 days bad for 4-5 :rolleyes:... That will change this week :crossed:

Hang in there in the meantime and keep up the good workout you are presently doing. Persistance in the end usually works...

I know that kind of thing too, Ilene. I'm running at 18 clean days out of 34. That's just not good enough, is it? :(

Not good enough at all Silver :no:
