I dont get it why would i weigh 3 lbs more today when i even added in zumba to my healthy eating yesterday it has me super discouraged

It might be water weight.

Are you sore?

When you first start working out, you retain a lot of water while your body is trying to recover.

your body can fluctuate I believe up to 5 pounds every day, depending on water weight and such.
Don't be discouraged.

Don't step on a scale until you're at least 6 weeks into eating healthier/exercising etc. You are going to get discouraged so just don't do it. The wait will be worth it.

Muscle weighs more than fat.

Your weight will teeter totter like that (idk why though). You should only check your weight 1-2 times a week checking every day may discourage you.

Water weight.

You're not going to see the results of Zumba from one day ago lol That takes a while.

And people's weight can fluctuate as much as 5lbs daily. It's very common.

You really shouldn't worry about the number on the scale. It means nothing.

not true...a pound, is a pound, is a pound.

100lbs of feathers weighs the same as (gasp) 100lbs of bricks!

True! It's how you look and feel that are the important things.

Every time you post, I just can't stop looking at your avi. For some reason I just can't stop!!!!!! (IDK why?)
