    sigh.... I swim one hour every day and consume less than 1,000 calories every day...(I get scolded by
    myfitnesspal everyday for being under caloried) still the same weight.

    Why are you eating so little? Your body may be holding on to what it has because of that. Less than 1,000 calories a day is not healthy. Just something to think about.

    I'm chiming in here. Please don't do this to yourself. Eat your 1200 calories. You'll lose easier. You do as you've been and 1) your body metabolism drops and you burn less 2) You need to eat, especially protein, to repair the muscle you're tearing down to swim for an hour a day. This is not a pattern that will serve you. You need to eat wisely so that when you reach goal, you can maintain. You can't starve yourself the rest of your life. It isn't worth it and it's unhealthy as all heck. in addition, it isn't working for you.

    8/16: 181.2 lbs...Okay, I'm going to be honest here...that sudden weight loss was unexpected, but I am starting to get bummed by the fact that it's still creeping up. I decreased my calories a bit to get the # back down the last few days, and it hasn't worked. I refuse to go any lower than I have. Maybe soon it'll start creeping down again.
    I almost reached my goal for steps yesterday too. Water was once again a struggle for me. I need to step it up.

    Remember, we don't have daily control over what the scale is going to tell us. It is strongly affected by water weight that comes and goes based on exercise, salt, weather, activity, injury, elimination, etc. Look at the long term trend using the report function, setting it to 90-days or more. If the line looks like a ball wildly and irregularly bouncing down the stairs, you are losing weight. If it isn't going down over the long run, reduce your calories. Daily fluctuations mean nothing.

    Remember, you don't build muscle exercising, you tear it down. It's afterwards, with rest and protein, that you build muscle.
