Weight loss stopped

Hello!

I am at a bit of a loss. My BMI calories say to eat something like 1770-2100 calories a day but I aim for 1650, which I thought was reasonable.

I'm quite good at sticking to it, and when I have gone over its been by 100-200 calories, which still keeps me within the above amount. so since Friday I have only gone over my calories on Sunday (I had 1800) and since then have not gone over 1650. I have checked on the scales today, though my normal weigh day is Friday, and I have GAINED half a pound! I'm hoping this changes by Friday but it's irritating. what is going on? :/ i will be so annoyed if I have a gain after two weeks of maintaining. where is my weight loss?!

Hi Kinbun,

Seriously, I would stick it out - continue as you are, and see what the scales say on Friday. Weight can fluctuate daily - even moment to moment, so please don't be put off - even having a meal that is a little extra salty than normal can cause a weight gain. There are many factors. But essentially - Friday is still a couple of days away, so there's plenty of time to see a result on the scales, providing you stick with things, and please try to stay motivated and don't be disheartened by the daily fluctuations.

Hope you have a great evening.

I never think about my salt consumption actually. Maybe that's something I should take into account a bit more.

I will try to stick with it and see how I do and then go from there. I was just wondering if I was doing anything wrong but I feel like I'm doing everything I can.

Thank you for your supportive message I will avoid weighing myself until Friday. fingers crossed!

Hope you've had a lovely day/evening as well.

Fingers crossed Kinbun! Yes, I'm having a good week so far. I'm going to watch some TV now, but it was nice to spend some time in the forum this evening.

Drink plenty of fluid we seem to forget that as well to flush system 8-8oz glasses of water I like mine with lemon. Weight does go up and down for many reason stress, salt as LowCal mentioned being a huge factor why flushing the systems helps, weather go figure, change in time we exercise-important to keep it the same and best in the morning. Best of luck at weight in.

Gosh I thought it was me that scales lied to. Week one I lost 3lbs week two put 1lb back on. All I can say is there is just no justice. I'm sticking with it as I'm looking long term for results.
