And I know it stinks OP but just keep going. I'm down about 70 pounds over the last year and I've gotten stuck at the same weight a couple of times.  One day (i want to say around the 3 week mark) I'll suddenly have this 5-7 pound loss and then be back to a normal loss pattern for awhile. Who knows why / what was going on but whatever. It will happen! [/quote]

This happens to me. Three weeks ago I gained a pound, I also noticed that my muscle mass was higher, although not by a pound, and my body fat lower. Two weeks ago I lost a pound. This week I lost 3 pounds. I am well aware that I did not lose 3 pounds in a week, I have been following the same eating habits and general exercise program, but something happened that my body seems to have dropped the weight at this particular time. I won't be surprised if that number goes up by a pound next week.

I have a scale that measures body fat, muscle mass, water weight, and pounds. I try and focus more on the drop in body fat and the gains in muscle mass then the change in pounds. I would be lying if that number didn't matter to me though.

I will say that I saw the biggest change when I added in 20 minutes of strength exercises 4-5 times a week, about a month ago. The cardio is great, I love it and I know my heart loves it, but the strength training has had the most dramatic effect on changing all the numbers. [/quote]
