Just started getting back in the gym and eating cleaner to lose some weight. Have my calories at 500 defecit to lose 1 pound a week. Been at it for 5 days now and actually have gained 1 pound. My question to you guys is, how much do you guys let the weightscale dictate your progress. I’m reading things online saying pay more attention to mirror test and how clothes fit. The thing is it’s just so discouraging to weigh in in the morning and you gained weight. Ima keep at it, but eventually it’ll have to start going down right? Maybe upping my cardio could help kickstart the weight loss? Any suggestions?

You mentioned you just started losing weight/fat is a turtle kind of race.

5 days? Not trying to be a jerk here, but you need to give it at least a few weeks. If you hitting gym, you probably trading a little fat for a little muscle despite the caloric deficit (not trying to start that debate). It also depends on how you calculated your baseline caloric intake requirement. Those online calculators will not work for some folks. You might have to go through some trial and error by tracking your caloric intake, activity and weight over a period of time to get a good baseline.
Patience.. Watch your nutrition and push yourself at the gym and you will definitely see a big difference in a couple months. In the past when I would try to lose weight, it always took about 3 or 4 weeks before I would start to see a noticeable difference. Also don't forget, our bodies are mostly water and our weight can swing 5+ pounds from water weight gain/loss alone.

Throw the scale in the trash or at least in the closet.
Keep lifting and eat clean or in a defecit like you are doing. Don’t go all crazy with your diet. It’s gotta be sustainable or you’ll just get frustrated and quit. You should be able to do it forever and not have it stress you out.
Your weight is gonna go up and down dude. Don’t even get on the scale. Go off the mirror instead.

I’ll start the debate, you don’t need to be bulking to get stronger. I’ve cut like a mf and hit a pr last week.
You really telling me you’re using 100% of all your muscle from head to toe in a lift and you HAVE to add weight? Nah, you don’t need to be 200 pounds to squat 4 plates. Plenty of people with better technique can hit that at 160 pounds.

Cannot relate, on permabulk til I'm at least 225.
Not sure why everyone worries so much about the scale though, probably because they don't know any better.
I'd be much worried about body composition (bf %, lean muscle mass, etc) versus trying to stay under some arbitrary weight number.

Exactly. My version of a cut is 3 meals a day instead of 5. Still eating a bunch of carbs but only near my workouts.
I got veins poppin now so I’m doing something right, but I’m still the same weight. Scale only tells half the story. I’m not trying to lose weight, I’m trying to get leaner.

During my wrestling days we’d cut weight due to working out in a 125 degree barn and still get stronger. Diet was good too. Yes it’s possible. I think people either think of exercise as either the super lean show ready guy or the fat “power lifter”. Plenty of other types. There’s also “lifting” and real work. People lift everyday and don’t know want real exhaustion is. Montage everyday or stay gone lol

When my gym is 100+ in the summer I see dudes lifting in sweats. They aren’t human.

We was dead broke using duct tape and what felt like trash bags with sweats on top. Dumping the sweat out was disgusting. We was out whooping *** so it was all worth it

It depends, starting at like $70 (before discount) but that would be a lower tier club. If you go to that link and pull up a club near you it'll say how much.
