I'd track your progress not only by the scale, but by the inches you've lost. I used to suggest to my clients to stay off the scale unless I was the one weighing them, and instead, try something like this:
....Find an article of clothing that fits you tight (..a t-shirt, boxers, briefs, etc.), and try it on to ensure that it is still fits snugly. Take it off, and store it in a drawer for 30 days. After that 30 days has elapsed, try on that/those same article(s) of clothing again and take note of how much looser it is on your body. Sometimes your weight may not change significantly, but a half inch reduction off of various areas of your body makes a HUGE difference in the way your clothes feel and fit.

When it comes to inches, i'm the same, i didnt loose anything. My shirts still fit the same. So you're right, its just artificial weight then.
It's just frustrating that i'm trying to bulk up a little bit, instead im loosing.
