Scale going up and down
Ok I am working out, but I am doing things differently this time, this time I am weight training and doing cardio. So here is what's going on, for like the past month and a 1/2...I've been like this, Lose 5 lbs, gain 3, lose 6 gain 2, lose 2 gain 4...so Like I'll look at the scale and at the begining of the week I'll be 215 and by the end of the week I'll be 210 and then i'll be back up to 212 and then i'll be at 209 and then back up to 212 and then 210 and then 214 and I can't seem to get it to go down and stay down. So I don't know what to do, I don't know if it's reading my muscle gain and then maybe inbetween the time i'm doing cardio it's reading my cardio loss? Does this make sense? I was wondering if I just need to tough it out or if I should take like a dietary supliment or some kind of shake from the health food store. Thank you for the advice. I take in about 1700-200 calories per day. Now I am willing to get stricter with my calories but I guess I kind of like being able too be closer to 2000 than being closer to 1500. ok thanks. Oh and i'm not like in a huge rush, I just want consistant loss that stays off. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

You sound like you're serious about weight loss, so I would recommend a program to you - Weight Watchers. I lost 75lbs over a year in WW. It is awesome b/c it teaches you about eating like a regular person (no diets) but controlling how much you eat. You sound like the perfect candidate for this program. Its $10 a week and if you feel uncomfortable going out to meetings you can do everything online. Try it. I think you'll be happy with the results as soon as the first week.
