@Makingmyway - weight loss is not linear. there is also a difference between fat loss and weight loss. what you want is fat loss, that takes time. basically the fat cells which are filled with triglycerides lose the fat stored in them when you diet (weight loss). BUT. the cell needs to maintain its size, so it fills with water (this may look like a gain or only a small loss that week). Over the next few days, the cell then breaks down which is true fat loss and that is a real reflection of the work you have put in. Keep an eye on your graph. it is absolutely ok, normal and fine to see gains in weight or only small little losses. the fluctuations on your scale are very normal. by maintaining consistency with your eating plan and exercise plan, over time, what you'll notice is that even though there were weight fluctuations on your graph, overall there would be a downward trend. weight loss is temporary, fat loss is more meaningful and permanent. so just be patient and kind with yourself while you're working towards your goal.
