Keep at it, eventually it'll pay off hun.

Sometimes you gain weight before you lose it.
A lot of people gain weight when exercising because muscle weighs so much more than fat.
Instead of looking at your weight so much, try concentrating on your BMI (Body Mass Index)?
It's only a pound, one pound isn't going to change much, and you shouldn't be put off by it
Keep going, give it some more time.

Oh, and also, what time did you weigh yourself?
Your weight changes by around 2.5 pounds through out the day, so the morning would be the best time to weigh yourself.
Before you've had breakfast and everything. I've heard it's best time to get an accurate weight.

You're building muscle, if you give up now you're going to fail and have to start all over again. You build muscle before you start burning fat. Besides, if your fat is turning to muscle who the crap cares about a number as long as you're less jiggly? yeah..

From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.

Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.

I guess I just feel as if nothing works for me. There are girls at school who exercise for one week and lose weight. I exercise intensively for 2 weeks and I gained a pound. Muscle or not, the numbers aren't good. It looks bad; it makes me look like I'm stuffing my face because I think that by exercising I can eat more. By the way, I'm not that dumb and I've been eating less and eating healthier alongside my exercise.

Just keep working on it, guys won't care if you put effort into it and try as long as your trying.

I got my guy, im overweight and i can't loose weight and he knows that and doesn't care though it makes me so self conscious but if we let it run our whole personalities then we wont get anyone, trust me ive been there.
