Don't be discouraged. That is just how weight loss works. Just look at how far you've come so far. You are doing amazing! So keep up the great work. :D 

mine does the exact same thing! Then eventually i get a large drop. don't let it get you down.  

I understand where ur coming from my scales dose the same thing ,but I keep telling myself as long as I can tell I'm losing with my clothes ,then I don't let the scales drive me batty 

My scales do that! Very annoying! Either it's a normal thing or we both have scales from hell that enjoy winding us up!!! 

Wow! You guys have the same problem! I thought I was the only one. Thanks for the support. :) 

It started in january jumping between 56kg and 55kg and now it's between 53kg and 52kg so atleast i'm losing;-) 

My scales do the same thing. After a while I check to see if my protein, fats and carbs are in balance. If they are I may add more protein and less or no grains, breads or pasta for a week or so just to change it up. My diet usually consists of lots of veggies, some fruit 30 to 40 % protein. Potatoes, which I love will undo my efforts every time. However, taking less than my RDI on a daily basis and getting exercise does eventually move the scale lower. Take heart. Your are doing so well. J 

Deb, I did it. I took your advice and just had a little protein for dinner last week. Cut the kcal way back to almost 1,000 and it shows. I'm down 5-1/2 from last Saturday. Thanks for being my buddy and supporting me. 

But great progress overall! Don't fool yourself because you are doing great! :) This is long term! 

As long as it's not moving up you're doing well, not great but the weight wasn't put on in a weekend ... in weaker moments maybe, or in celebration. 

could be just water <3 I would Love to be 181 even I'm very Proud of ya <3  

Never2old, you are the first person to ask me to be your buddy, so I will always support you! When you said you had to lose 6 lbs by the 31st of March, I was really worried about you! Glad you are successful. Keep going, but do be careful to eat enough calories. Don't want you or anyone else to lose muscle! 

Everyone, I thank you for supporting me. I do learn so much from all of you. I have increased the fiber and limited the starchy vegetables. I have a salt problem, although I do have many days that my sodium is less than 1500 mg, so I am encouraged about my progress. Fluid retention is also part of it. Dolores was right about that. :)  

I use NO SALT ,, Deb_N your doing awesome <3 

Not to "barge in" on the conversation but, Dreamcatcher, I couldn't help noticing your entry. I recently either heard or read from someone that no salt can be bad for your health as unbelievable as it may sound :). The ideal is probably a little dose of it. I'm not sure of it though ;) 

I'll investigate I was told and read it was potassium !!  

There is a salt substitute called "NO SALT". It's main ingredient is potassium chloride. J 

I should probably also take another look into that :). Oh, I didn't know that JovialJ :) Thanks for the info! I thought "NO SALT" was literally no salt lol... 

I thought "NO SALT" was literally no salt, too! lol 

ahahah, the capitalized letters didn't sound the alarm. They sounded strange though ;)
