    Have you checked your measurements? Your sleep quality and types of workout can have some impact on your body & reflect on water retention too...

    @Katy2Survivor - I can relate to this problem. How close are you to your weight goal?

    I am finding that as I close in on the 5 lbs. to go mark, I am only losing about .5 lb a week if I stay on track. If you are close to goal, your body may be resisting those last few pounds / kilos.

    The less you have to lose, the harder it is to go through the weight ceiling. Maybe shift the way you eat or reduce the window during which you eat. Could that work for you?
    I am also struggling in trying to lose a small amount. I am reducing the calories intake but the scale at the gym keeps showing a weight increase which drives me mad!

    One more suggestion - if you're not already, start using a trend weight app (such as Libra on android). My weight has up and down trends, sometimes even for weeks. I'll drop like 5 pounds, then go back up 3 and stay there, then eventually drop again. I've been using Libra since January, and while things have gone up, down, and in between, it's easy for me to see that I still have continued an overall downward trend.

    I weigh daily, and the app really helps you see and notice your trends and not freak out over a few days that are a bit higher.

    Also, plateaus are perfectly normal. Unless it's been over 3 weeks, it's not yet time to change anything, just keep at it!
