Yes I don’t understand that myself maybe if it stayed even I could maybe understand that but putting on weight confuses me When was your last weigh in because if it’s one day it’s possible 

I’ve just looked and it’s been 7 days so it seems there’s something wrong unless you went out and forgot  

It's just normal weight fluctuation due to hormones and liquid retention do not overthink it 

I weigh in every Saturday  

Will take your advice and not overthink it. 😊 Thank you both 😀 

also remember that your bmr changes with the weight change. I recalculate it every Saturday which is when my dieting week starts. So for example mine was 1745 two weeks ago and now it's 1720. it's not a lot of change but I've only lost 2 kilos as I have just started. If you have lost 7 kilos yours might have changed more.  

Razor123ray - no I haven’t eaten out since I started, no cookies, no cakes, high calorie meals 🤷🏻‍♀️I guess I will see what happens next week. 

My BMR is definitely changing but still not anywhere as low as 1500 calories. Most days I am eating about 1100 calories plus I’m burning 600 calories in my daily walk. I am weighing and journaling my food so I know what I’m eating. Oh well I won’t despair as I know what I’m doing exercise wise is making me feel good and I lost a couple of inches this week. Thank you so much for support and guidance 😍 

yeah don't worry about it, weight is not a simple equation as some fitness bros want us to think :) it's not just calories in and calories out. There are a lot of things in play, and most of them we can't handle easily (thyroid hormones, insulin, liquid retention, etc). Last week I put on weight for a few days in a row, and then lost it all at once, and this week I'm just maintaining, but I know it's probably because I'm weighing myself everyday (which I shouldn't do but the scales are there next to the shower so I do it before I shower in the morning) 

Losing weight is not a problem and I weigh every day too I just don’t log it my weight is 76.1kg today but my concern is in the 4-6 weeks between now and me reaching my final goal weight do I need to change what I eat or tweak it then I’m pretty much thinking wait until I get there 

Thanks for posting this. I have just started on here and I'm just sticking to my normal everyday diet, but like you I have increased my exercise and the amount of calories I burn. I'm not looking to loose a lot of weight (8lb) I just want to get a bit slimmer. Information like this really helps me (and probably others) I hope things work out for you. Best wishes  

@razor123ray it's amazing to see your progress! I have just started so I know I don't even know when my goal weight date will be. For now I just want to lose a bit of weight to appease my PCOS and hypothyroidism symptoms. Then I'll see. I'm going very slowly just about a kilo per week even though I'm following my diet 100% percent. I'll start adding more exercise as well when the pool near me opens. 

I’d suggest to increase calorie intake to 1700. My starting weight was 104kg, I was starving if I ate less than 1800cals. My body was stressed out and I was actually gaining weight. Reduce calories gradually, I hope this could help.  

It can be actually everything, human body is so weird 😅 it might be too low calories for a day, stress, period, water in system... i know how annoying it is when ure doing 1000% and scale is playing around! Im sure uve got some measurements down! 💪💪💪 keep it up! Great work! 

Thank you everyone it’s been extremely useful to read your comments and suggestions. I increased my calories and slightly decreased the amount of time I was working out and lost 1.5kgs this week. I think my body wash saying - she’s starving me! 🤣
