    How often are you weighing yourself? If I didn't weigh myself every single day, I would feel like I'm spinning in circles. I'm trying to lose very slowly though (4.5 pounds in the last 10 weeks).

    The less you have to lose, the more patient you have to be.

    I try to weigh in a Saturday mornings once a week

    Ever try daily weighing and using a weight trending app? I use trendweight.com. I can easily fluctuate 2-4 pounds day to day. You might be trending downward, but the daily fluctuations are hiding a loss.

    Just hang in there. It's possible that the nicotine had a diuretic effect, and maybe you're holding onto a bit more water weight. Be patient - you're doing the right stuff, and you'll stop dropping again!

    Honestly, I couldn't stand to be as OCD as the folks who weigh everything. Yikes.

    I once had a two month plateau. Just keep getting in your workouts and being in a deficit and the scale will eventually move again. Also try mixing up your workouts, either in duration or intensity. Or switch it up and try incorporating a different workout (like hiking, biking, or swimming) if you have the time.
