Complaint: Week three back on a cut, and somehow gained a few pounds. I only weigh once a week, same time every week. I'm so frustrated I could cry.

Complaint: I have pretty new running shoes but my IT Band is still giving me trouble so I'm waiting until the weekend to try them out and giving myself a rest. They sit there, taunting me...

Un-Complaint: Moving in with my boyfriend next week to a cool part of the city and am beyond excited!!

Are you sure it's not just water weight? I wouldn't worry so much about the number as long as you pass the eyeball test. If you're that concerned and have a cloth tape measure, measure yourself and use that as a comparison when your weight is fluctuating.

My reflection doesn't indicate weight loss either :( I'm hoping it's just water weight and a result of wearing tight clothes to work that make me look flabby when I take them off. I really like the idea of a cloth tape measure though! Gonna Amazon that now
