Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML

Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, I was proud of going to the gym 3 times a week (instead of once a week) to get in relative shape. I even started doing light cardio and (I thought) started to eat better. I've gained six pounds, despite watching what I eat and even increasing the resistance on the exercise bike that I use. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, after a full year of vigorous exercise 7 days a week, and a strict diet of vegetables, fruits, and water, I can proudly say that I've lost half a pound. FML
Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML
Today, I went in for a doctor's appointment. When I got on the scale, I was really excited to see that I'd lost ten pounds since the last time I weighed myself at the gym. The doctor then severely lectured me on the fact that I had gained twenty since my visit last year. FML
Today, stepping on a scale for the first time in years, I had to lift up my stomach to see the number. FML
Today, I stepped on the scale because I'm trying to maintain a good weight. The scale read that I had lost 6 pounds. Feeling really good about myself, I stepped off the scale only to see that the corner of the scale was sitting on the rug, making the scale mess up and tell me the wrong weight. FML
Today, it's my sixth month of working out 5 days a week, watching what I eat while my family eats like kings, and only losing 2lbs. It's also the day husband said he misses my 20 year-old body and no longer finds me attractive, but that's okay because he "loves me anyways and it's good to know where we stand." FML
Today, is the fourth day of my husband's and my new diet and exercise routine. I've already caught him eating junk food 4 times. He has lost 2 lbs and I've gained 3. FML

Muscle weighs more than fat. If you are excersizing and building muscle mass. That's why

ignore the scale and it ignores you.

I did :o) And I found it pretty interesting as well. ... But I also tend to write longish posts - so maybe it's just me... ...Or maybe it's just that I was not brought up in a "I-want-it-immediately" culture?

You may have gained muscle that's why instead of setting a weight you should set a certain amount of inches for whichever part of your body you want to slim down, I hope your not too bumed about it op :)

That's what you get for taking the easy way out and trying to get skinnier with a bogus diet... Go to the gym and lose fat the old fashion way.

OP said "diet AND EXERCISE" perhaps you should go to elementary school and learn how to read "the old-fashioned way"

Just do enough exercise to be healthy. You'll figure out a good balance between weight and the rest, the important thing is you're moving. It's so dumb that people exercise to lose weight rather than just to be healthy. And to those who say don't eat carbs, I'm diabetic (T1). What do I do? #S

When training u eat more, well not sure what ur diet is, but lets say, i eat lots of meat and gym / train 1-2 hours / day and works fine. A advice is To never eat pork, since its hard To get out of ur body:)
