The scales just won't budge a kilo...

I also get the whoosh once in a while. Not all the time. Sometimes I lose very consistently 1.5-2 pounds per week. Other times, I lose nothing for 3 or 4 weeks then lose 7 pounds in two days. It's crazy, but I now just accept it. It makes the waiting easier.

Thanks. I know it's just a number, but once it starts moving down, I feel a whole lot better (in the mind and in my confidence).

I don't really care about the scales because I'm getting results everywhere else - I think I might be allergic to something. It's either gluten or lactose, but my cousin actually has Crohn's disease so I'm a little concerned.
Will start making use of a food scale more regularly, and wait for the scales to catch up!

Main thing is clothes are getting looser which means you must be shrinking in some places, personally I don't weigh myself all that often and weight can fluctuate quite a lot, maybe take measurements regularly instead of just looking at a scale? Losing cm's from around the waist/legs/arms is an even better feeling than seeing the number on the scales in my opinion.

And you mention a lot of running but maybe mix it up a couple of days a week and do some strength/weight/resistance type exercise? It's fantastic for dropping body fat etc. and where I've managed to lose most of my kg's so far from

If your body weight scale is not changing by even "a single gram" (which has to be an exaggeration; usually their precision is only to about 50-100 grams, i.e. 0.05 or 0.1 kg), have you considered the possibility that your scale is broken? If it always gives the same weight, that's a possibility. Try picking up something that weighs 1-2 kg. and weigh yourself while holding it.
