Any chance I'll lose this week?

I normally eat 1200 a day. I've been doing great! The past week I've been down and not eating as well, however, I've only gone over twice. One day I hit 1725, and another 1400. I haven't exercised since Monday either. And I've been drinking. If I step up my game tomorrow and Sunday, is it possible I'll still lose? i haven't got insane and binged...

Diary is open. Judge away... and yes I have been told 10000000 times that 1200 is too low, but my doctor is OK with it.

Current weight: 222
Height: 5'5"
Female
Desk job, but I have been doing light exercise (except this week) 6 days a week.

Uh...No idea? *insert magic 8 ball reply* weight loss is never linear, no matter how strategic you are in logging accuracy and exercise

Honestly, since you're a woman, it's just as likely that you'll have a hormonal dump and end up gaining 2lbs of water weight next time you weigh. That doesn't mean you didn't "lose" fat, it's just being masked. Same thing with too much sodium... Just keep sticking to it and don't rely heavily on the scale to determine success.

Can't know for sure that you'll lose weight but even eating 1700 and not exercising you're probably eating at a 500 deficit or something...

I should clarify I'm not looking for a scientific answer. But maybe someone who had a similar week and still lost? Thanks!!!

Sounds like you were at a deficit overall, so you should lose, but as others said, weight fluctuates.

I....I...

Heck, I have had weeks where I pig out over maintenance three days straight and still lost. That doesn't mean it will happen for you this week.

Just like I have had perfect weeks with no change whatsoever.
