I usually dont let the number on the scale...

get to me, I go more by how my clothes fit but I do weight myself from time to time. This month I have been doing great, eating healthy and being more active and I even went down a pants size. I felt great!!   At the begining of the month I weighed 135, my goal weight would be 125 and since Ive went down a pants size I was feeling good about getting on the scale. When I went to weight myself yesterday though I realized my scale was broken so we went and bought a new one today and I weighed myself and it said 148.   I usually dont let it get to me but I feel sooo bad about myself right now. ugh!

If you look good and feel good, why let it bother you?

Different scales can be very off, and if you've been working out then some of the weight gain is likely muscle

I really try not to but that's easier said than done.

I haven't been doing anything major. I got a fitbit so Im always trying to get more steps. I always get at least 10,000 steps, sometimes more, yeasterday 20,000 and some. I walk just around the house and the last couple days I've walked on the treadmill. I don't know how much muscle that would build?

That's why I don't even own a scale. It's a really stupid thing to base your self esteem on IMO. You've seen improvement but you let a 12lb discrepancy take it all away from you? Just focus on how awesome you've been doing and feeling.

don't bother with the scale. Its evil lol
I did same thing, i was all excited cuz my size 6 jeans from old navy were sliding off me so i went squeezed my ass into some size 5s from PAC sun, thinking i have to be where i was before baby number 2, weighed myself at Walmart because if i owned a scale I'd live on it lol, im still 10lbs off... My aunt keeps talking smurf cuz the skinnier my face gets, the bigger my nose looks, the smaller my ass gets... Its like geeze i get it i don't have the same body...   i am dying for some deep fried sushi, and i will get it, and not 1 single smurf*excuse my sailor mouth moment* will be given

Probably more than you'd think! But also you have to take into consideration your water intake and where you are in your cycle etc.

Now that you say that, it is about time for my period.
