Angry When the scale doesn't match how you look/feel

Hi all,
Is it just me or are other people finding that the scale doesn't match how they feel and look on LCing? I've been at it for about a month now and the scale only shows a loss of 5 pounds (and this week, it says I gained 3!). Yet, I'm feeling better than I ever did with low-fat diets, my clothes are bagging on me, and I KNOW I'm losing weight. I don't think I'm gaining muscle mass because I've been a pretty steady exerciser for a while now (and recently decreased my exercise regimen, actually) but just looking at the stall/gain on the scale and knowing that I'm feeling great and losing inches is frustrating. Anyone else have that problem?

I've chucked my scale and decided to go with measurements for now. Also, I changed my stats to reflect BMI like Nat's (so it won't look so discouraging!).

I'm hanging in there!

Tam
