Losing fat and gaining muscle. That's why  

I really hope so. I guess I will have to monitor other measurements  

When you workout you retain more water in your muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat. Don't focus so much on the number on the scale. If you're eating the right amount of calories and doing exercise, then you have nothing to worry about. Take measurements and progress photos instead. 

Maybe you like me when it come to eating bread I won’t lose anything even if am on my calories so you have to check what you eating for me am sticking to salads, veggies and meat snack on watermelons and eggs sometimes peaches 

Give your body a chance here. I haven't lost weight much weight for a while now. But my reflection in the mirrir looks better. In actual fact. I'm still trying to loose 5kg just to get me back to where I was in the beginning of December. But my waist tells a different story. Give yourself some time here. Your body is adapting and changing every day. You are using muscles you haven't used in a while. See how you feel two weeks from now. 

It's usually after 2 week of consistent training and proper diet that you will start to feel better, more energy etc. Then you will start noticing clothing will start to become loose. It takes time to get ur body in fat burning mode. No cheating for first month is essential. U can later start having 1 cheat meal once per week.depends what ur trainer suggest. But keep on going, you will be rewarded back if u perssist. Don't worry about the scale too much. Take note of what cm shows u. Good luck u can do it👍🌸 

Dear Purple Rain, I'm sorry you haven't seen the progress you so wish to see as yet. I know you will find a way to make it happen for you. Our bodies are all different, you might lose weight slower than others, or your body might not agree to certain foods...either way, enjoy the journey & take the stress of. You're loving yourself by preserving through this set back. I wish you well on your way and many milestones to celebrate on your journey. With joy, Arshaad 

Hi there.. I experienced the same thing! But then I did hiit on the treadmill on Saturday and since then the scale has been moving..  

12 weeks of consistency ! You can't expect such quick results. Besides, building muscle will absolutely affect your weight. You should focus on fat loss and not weight loss. Stay consistent and don't jump from fad to fad to get quicker results. 

Give it a bit of time also experienced the same for a few weeks. only after a 5/6 weeks or so did I start to loose.  

The scale on my side moves slowly. I have only lost 1kg since November. But I am enjoying the new lifestyle of eating on an calorie deficit and doing the exercise that I love doing and just following what my body tells it to do.  

You gain muscle mass. Keep going, you will soon see results.  

Thank you all. I think my head is back where it should be. I'll put in the work and leave the scale alone for the next few weeks 💪
