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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

If you have been on a diet before and this would be your second diet after u gained weight, then right now it will be longer until you lose weight again so keep going don't give up

You have to measure ur muscle and fat mass to determine how much u have actually lost.

It's probably because your gaining muscle, muscle weighs more than fat, to you might have gained a net weight of 6lbs, but you're probably gained muscle and lost fat :)

You need to weigh yourself once a week, in the morning, at the same time each week.1litre of water =2.2lbs (1 kg) so you could have been carrying water. You won't have gained and muscle weight in a month. Weigh all your food (portions) and record everything you eat or it won't work.

20- you are wrong. You can, in fact, gain muscle very quickly if you eat the right foods. I work as a nutrition and wellness coach, and I even have myself on a program. I lost 6 lbs of fat and gained 2 lbs of muscle in a months time just eating the right foods, not even trying to lose weight just stepping my own nutrition up to motivate my clients. I also have a client that literally traded 8 lbs of fat for 8 lbs of muscle in just 3 weeks.

Also it is neurotoxic, buuuuut people are more likely to stop drinking it when they find out it'll cause them to gain some weight. Funny how that works.

Maybe it was because of that brownie you ate that was half the size of your head.

The truth is in the clothes (how they fit) not the scale. Don't worry about it, just keep trying and it will eventually pay off.
