I got to work today to find that I lost two more pounds (we have a dr scale here)!
It was SO frustrating for those weeks that I lost nothing! You are right, Betty, it does make it all feel a bit useless. Why should I spend an hour a day exercising if I'm not going to see any results?!? Why should I stop at one brownie if it isn't making any difference...
Luckily we have other indicators we can keep our eyes on, too. Like how clothes are fitting, how our body moves, the amount of energy we feel, how exercise becomes easier.
I am now JOGGING. A friend at work did the 3 months from couch to 5k program. I can't follow it as is, but am now up to 30 seconds of running out of a 20-60 min walk, for a total of 3 minutes. I feel so good afterwards (but dirty and sweaty!).
I still do a total of 60 minutes of exercise each day, usually walking. Sometimes I go to the Y to swim and use the strangth training equipment, too.

For 4 week I kept going from 266 down to 263 and back to 266. Now I am happy to say that I'm fluctuating between 263 and 261. If I ever break into the 250's I'll be extatic.

I am convinced that my body weight shifts. I won't lose weight for awhile but my clothes will fit differently. I get into smaller pants but my top half stays relatively the same for awhile. It's like my body is moving the fat around before it finally dumps it.

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement !
I was very impressed with your success and for sharing with us all the site that has got you going in the right direction!
I am sure there are those who are shy and those who are called lurkers who will be using your suggestions and will be reading your success story
too.
I am still at the same weight,and so glad you wrote to give me that extra boost of encouragement to get on the treadmill today!
Note: I need some better shoes the ones that I have are hurting my feet and I could very easily say I can't because my feet hurt yesterday after a short walk. Don't worry I am going to get some better shoes soon.

Good on the jogging. I have done the couch to 5k twice now.. it was harder to run in the summer due to the heat plus I wanted to swim so now I am back at jogging and walking intervals. The program does work. I got up to almost an hour run (although I run extremely slow)
I am holding at the same weight but I am hopefully retaining some water. So we will see next week.
My body weight is shifting too. Kinda weird but i guess it happens when you get older.

And sometimes you can gain muscle and lose fat - still be at the same weight, but you're healthier and slimmer because muscle takes up less room than fat even though it weighs more.

laura and Mrs Giggles : Body weight shifting is another thing that my mother did not warn me about when I grew older and became old. 
I have learned a lot from post of you posters
Keep it up!!

Thanks for checking it out.
And I'm honestly not fishing for compliment here, but I'm not quite sure what I'm talented at....

I know what you are going through. I did a lot of exercise and weight myself early in the morning and went back to bed without eating anything and weight again and I weight more. Maybe our scales are not accurate.
I felt a wonderful feeling being out of the 60's and in the 59  even if it was a short time.
Let us not give-up you did succeed to get in the 59's so let us both try again what do you say? WE can do it with the Lord and friends!!
May you have an encouraging day and a better tomorrow on the scales
We are here for you!!

I think I've lost 1 more pound, which means only 5 more to go! I think those are the hardest ones!
I've been majorly slacking on the exercise though - gotta get it back in gear!

I am so glad that you all have been having some similar struggles that I have been having for instance stuck on the same weight every time you weigh yourself. Well, today I finally lost some weight....it wasn't just one pound it was 2 and I am encouraged and will keep trying.
Hope you all are getting some rewards on your way to get weighed on your scales.

I keep losing and finding the same 3 to 5 lbs, but hopefully, the 3 lbs. I lost this week won't return.
