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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, it's more dense than fat. You would not have gained 6 pounds of pure muscle in a month, either. That said, you should really take some measurements and go get your body fat tested if you can afford it. Losing weight is tough! Also, track your food and make sure you are really in a deficit.

Yeah, that's what people meant. Is OP not heavier, but just "more dense" than Kate Moss?

If you are getting slimmer then that means it's muscle since muscle weighs more than fat,you'll gain a lot of muscle but you'll but skinnier =]

measure inches around instead, plus make sure you are eating healthy and not in excess, you may be eating thousands of empty calories, or just way too much!

Muscle weighs way more than fat does... Just saying. Congrats on making it a month!! Most people give up early.

Exactly 99! BMI doesn't take muscle into account at ALL so it'll say someone is overweight when they're perfectly healthy.
