Hey everyone, Does anyone have some tips for weight fluctuating around a certain weight? I understand this happens all the time on weight loss and can vary day by day, but recently I seem to be stuck around a specific weight for some time and never going below. Should any habits change or just keep going?

    Your weight doesn't just fluctuate when losing weight, it's fluctuates all the time - it's normal and should be expected. The majority of your body is water and all sorts of factors affect it day to day.

    What does the "some time" that your weight hasn't been trending down actually mean?
    A timeline and some context about you would help as the solution could be either change something or just carry on depending on timescales.

    What period are we talking about, when you say "for some time"?
    And do you use a weight trending app like Libra or Happyscale to monitor your weight trend?

    After dropping from 203 lbs I spent most of July stuck at 181 +/- 2 lbs every day for four weeks.

    It finally fell into high 170s in August. Ranging between 176 to 180 the past 10 days but definitely inching downwards.

    I didn’t change too much in August apart from I have not had any alcohol since August 1 and plan to skip it for rest of the month.

    My resistance training had slipped with some distractions from the day job but I emphasized it again and stepped up the intensity two weeks ago.

    Similar happened at 192 lbs but for only three weeks.

    Stay on the plan and maybe isolate a couple of details to nudge the calorie loss along.
