    Yes, totally normal. Weight loss isn't linear.

    It has been suggested on here various times to use an app that "averages" your daily weigh ins out. I just started using Libra for Android (I'm in maintainance) and it's helping take the anxiety out of the up and down daily #'s.

    For example, here's my last 3 days of daily weigh ins.

    Monday: 148.4
    Tuesday: 149.4
    Wednesday: 148.8
    (average: 148.6, which was still a 2lb loss from last week).

    You're thinking of yo-yo dieting (different thing all together).

    This is normal body weight fluctuation.

    Keto (or any low carb diet) is great for a large dump of water weight the first week. But after that you are waiting on fat loss. Real weight loss is a slow process. Weight can fluctuate for many reasons - higher sodium - time of month - sore muscles - waste cycle. If your weight hasn't changed in a few WEEKS, then you have an issue.
