โฃI’ve been hearing a lot lately about overall frustrations with the scale, and not seeing change as quickly as you’d like. To that I will always say it is just ONE measure of progress and can be affected for so many reasons other than actual fat loss or gain. โฃโฃ

You likely did not gain actual fat and may not be plateaued on your progress. The scale can fluctuate for so many reasons other than fat loss or gain. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
If you find your weigh-ins are dictating your day, frustrating you, or harming your progress, stop weighing in so frequently. Focus on the positive wins you are seeing and feeling. โฃโฃ
