Clearly, just working out isn't effective. I knew this, but I was really hoping to ease off/stop tracking. Obviously, this isn't realistic where I am right now. Which is a bummer to say the least.
I feel the same way. I am so ready to stop tracking. In fact, I've been doing a kind of crappy job of it lately and am afraid to get on the scale because I've been semi-binging at night after dinner. Not bad stuff just nuts, fruit etc....Sigh.
Maybe you're gaining muscle mass from working out and that's why you're gaining weight. I've had the same thing going. My clothes all still fit fine, but I'm 10 pounds heavier than I want to be. So I talked with a trainer friend and she said the same thing happened to her.
That could be very true, you might try tracking your measurements in addition to the number on the scale. Diet will of course always be an important factor in losing weight but it shouldn't be the only factor. You're doing an awesome job with your work outs and you can be proud of that regardless of the scale.
