Going down one week and up the next

Vampire81

Can any1 help me plz this is getting me really down.
I can't understand where I'm going wrong. I eat between 1200-1400 Monday to sat then on a Sunday I eat between 1200-1600 depending on if I take my kids out for the day or staying with a cooked Sunday lunch.
But I workout Monday to sat every week (unless I'm ill)
Mon- crosstrainer 60 min in the morning then 90min swimming in the evening.
Tues- crosstrainer 40 mins.
Wed- crosstrainer 60min in morning then zumba 60min evening.
Thurs- kettlebell 25min in morning then crosstrainer 30min in evening.
Fri- zumba 60min.
Sat- aerobics 60min.

So this is what I do and I really can't see where I'm goin wrong

I can't see your diary. Opening it might help. What has your overall progress looked like?

Vampire81

Think I've just done it

Your diary looks pretty good. You seem like you are at a big deficit most days. Is this just a one week fluctuation?

Vampire81

This normally happen depends on how much I do etc. Sorry I haven't kept a full diary

That would be step one. Log every bite and every mile. Start with tightening up your log and that will help you see your progress. Weight loss can be non-linear so give it another few weeks and look at trends.

Thanks so much I will take ur advice. Knew I shud have logged everything but busy life and my headed being totally done in I forgot to log every last details in.

I agree with the above advice. Log every single bite... Weigh and measure everything! You might not be seeing the scale move much but can you tell your clothes fit different? I haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks, but my jeans are loose! Keep on going... You are doing great!!

If you have a bit of time to spare, the first three links on this page are very helpful to get you started on logging. The rest of the links are generally very helpful information.

The more data you have the easier it gets to understand why you might not be losing and how you lose. My graph looks like a collection of camel humps, with each iteration just a smidgens lower than the last.

Good luck!
