3rd day in a row...120.75 why can't I get past this? I am doing what I am supposed to. Even if I didn't burn one extra calorie with yesterday's yoga I would be averaging a 770 calorie deficit each day. That's plenty to be losing some weight. I am getting seriously frustrated. I am afraid to eat more, but I'm afraid to eat to little and trigger a binge. I am physically exercising as much as I can in the time I have.

| Why does my scale hate me? |
And I'm not buying into the muscle vs. fat B.S. at this stage. My body has not developed enough muscle or dropped inches in 3 days. At the very least I should have dropped some water weight yesterday. I sweat like mofo in the yoga class. My clothes looked like I had been thrown in a pool. I'm seriously depressed. I won't be able to leave the house today - I know I would be buying donuts and mini candy bars - with the mood I am in.
Today I slept in today because I don't go to work. I get to work on satuday instead yay! (not). Started level 2 of 30 Day Shred. I like it way better. I burned 270 calories where as level 1 was 215-225. Of course it's harder than the other level. But that's good too. I need to push my muscles. The rest of the day's plan is to clean, organize, do homework, do laundry, plan my August vacation, run in the evening, and maybe go to a dance class if I feel like driving there and hitting the ATM for cash of which I have ZERO. I'm going to try to keep on similar schedule food-wise as I do at work. Which is Breakfast, 4 hours later yogurt, 2 hours later lunch, 2 hours later snack, 2 hours later dinner. Except I think I will take out the second snack and just run and have dinner. Maybe get to bed early. Saturday I have to get up early to work out before going to work, then yoga after work. It's going to be a long day.

I totally know the feeling of wanting to see results immediately on the scale, but if you are losing real body fat and not just water, it is going to take a little time for it to register on the scale.
Don't get frustrated and sabotage your efforts, stick with it for a few more days and you WILL see results. And then you might stay at that number for a little, but stick with it again and you'll drop a bit again.
I agree with Katie. Hang in there! This is normally the time where you might throw away all of your hard work and give in to a binge because it feels like you aren't loosing weight anyways but don't do it! You would have to start all over and you know that would suck even more. I've been there. The same number stares at you day after day and you want to give up. Just keep going. Your body will budge eventually!
Thanks ladies. I know you are right. I am just feeling down on myself. Between the scale and totally being stood up by my friend - she never called or anything! - I was feeling kind of blue. But I know that I can't give in. It would only make me feel worse.
