I consumed just about the calories I'm targeting each day yesterday, performed activities that burned more calories than I ate, and I was up .8 in weight! I don't understand how the weight sticks. I overate a couple of days ago, but went down... it's frustrating.
I guess... just keep plugging along. It's this type of thing that makes me feel "what's the point?"
Anyway, I was just looking at different places where I like to eat and checking out the "nutrition" of certain items. I understand that restaurants (especially fast food) need to have ready-made things to make it easier to serve a customer in a limited amount of time, but it's dismaying to see things like "onion powder" instead of an onion, etc. I'm going to make up some foods to take with me to work that are a little more complicated than the standard veggies/cheese/hard-boiled egg I usually do. Those lunches are okay, but they get a little boring. I like the grilled chicken burritos at a local shop but am not excited about their calories in the "secret savory sauce" which looks to be made exclusively of fat and sugar.
I need more control over my food and I won't get it at a place dedicated to serving a large number of people in the fastest way possible.

I weigh about the same as you do and I am 60 years old. For me to lose a pound a week, I have to stick to less than 1300 calories per day. In addition, I do weightlifting once or twice a week, and cardio about 3 hours (180 minutes) total per week. The fatsecret exercise calculator is really bad - my exercise calories are calculated by fitbit or the heart rate monitor at my gym. The best thing I can say is to count how many minutes of exercise you get (should be minimum 150 per week), cut back the calories 200 a day for a week or so, and add some weight training, even just 1 or 2 pounders to get started. I think you are just eating too many calories.

Thanks, friends! I was just feeling a little "blue". In the past that would have led me to some comfort food, but today I sat at the computer and did some meal planning and grocery list composing instead. It feels better to look forward than to sit on the couch like a lump feeling sorry for myself.

Another thing to keep in mind is muscle weighs more than fat and too many people lose sight of that I think.. As well as, like someone else mentioned water retention, ect will differ day to day... HANG IN THERE!!!
