I'm not losing the amount weight I should be losing!

I started trying to lose weight a bit more than a week ago, and I have gained 1/2 a kg. I have been just under the calorie counts every day which should be losing me 1 kg per week. (Previous attempts to lose weight saw me lose 3-5 kgs in the first week) Why am I gaining weight when the math says that I should be losing it?

Did you accurately calculate your TDEE with the Harris Benedict Formula, or the the MyFitnessPal calculator? Have you been lifting weights? Have you been consuming more than usual amounts of sodium?

Because : Random Daily Fluctuation, that's why.

Mine's as high as 6 pounds in less than 24 hours.

Do you weigh your food?
How much do you have to lose, total?
What is your weekly loss goal set at?
What sort of exercise do you do and how do you get your calorie burn?
Can you please open your diary?
