Hi Gman1961,

It's likely to be because you're toning up and developing some muscle - that would be my thoughts on it. Muscle weighs more than fat, and the look of each thing is very different!

You could google that issue and find some articles about it, as there are quite a few around.

This hot and humid weather seems to make the scales fluctuate; we lose fluid through perspiration and then drink a load of water....scales go up and down like a yo-yo!

Our bodies are very funny temperamental things !!! Don't worry you will start to loose again soon maybe shake things up a little, try something new it may help 😀

Good advice here, I learnt not to be ruled by the scales too much, just stick to healthy eating and you're doing great with exercise, you're losing inches, feel positive and the scales will eventually oblige.
