It can depend on when you weigh. Also exercise can cause the body to retain water as the muscle needs more water to heal up. I suggest scheduling your weigh in for a recovery day when you are not exercising. Perhaps you might want to do a morning weigh in daily too so you can work out the average of your weeks weight too. Weighing only one day out of 7 it’s hard to know if it was an average day or one above or below. The only other thing I would check is double check the way you count your calories. Research shows we undercount our calories by 40% nutritionists by 25% so it pays to look harder. Are you weighing portions ? Do you count everytime you take a bite while cooking or sharing food? Are you portions accurate? Also as you lose weight your BMR goes down as you have less body mass have you recalculated since you lost weight ? I started out at 1900 a day and down to 1500 a day Those are just suggestions my guess is all the exercise and water weight also if it’s a hormonal time for you I gain 2-4 kilos that week. And great on adding more foods back that’s what you have to do find a way to eat what you want in your calorie zone. 

Thank you most helpful  

You’re doing great actually. My start weight was just a little more than yours. I did so well for 3 weeks then a family sickness and funeral. Eating with others, having someone staying with us. Then I’ve been unwell (long term problem). I’ve lost my omph and my motivation. So when I read how you’re putting Health above everything else it encourages me. So, thank you. I’m struggling with how blood sugar and higher than doctors want, cholesterol. They’re opposites when it comes eating. This is a difficult journey but it’s so much better when people like you share their ups and downs so that others can identify. You’re only up a little bit. I wish next week to be better for you. 

Some really good suggestions on here. We've had a few days with family so haven't tried as hard as I should be. Only got 1 brief walk in over the 4 days away. Last night we had a mid winter feast at an exercise class for oldies so totally fell off the wagon. Funny thing I slept terribly with having an overloaded stomach. Serves me right. I'm really guilty of not diarising every bit of food that goes in my mouth while prepping meals. Back into it today. It really helps with writing down what I eat and definitely walking fast. I'm in it for the long haul. Not beating myself up but keep trying. Yes weigh in daily is good for me anyway. Thanks for all the tips guys 👍
