Hi I'm Erin I experience the same thing. Lost 7 lbs last week only to gain it back this week. I didn't change my diet still work out the same. It can be very frustrating. Do you have hypo thyroid?

Hi Erin thanx for your reply I don't know if I have hypo. Thyroid I hope not it sounds nasty!

Well done on cutting out the alcohol

Often your first week or two will show a great result due to changing eating patterns and fluid loss. Then the serious work begins

Maybe check your carb intake (rice, pasta, bread, potato) and cut them down a bit to see if that makes a difference.
