Help! Stuck in a rut!

I keep gaining a pound every time I lose a pound or two. Not sure what I am doing wrong! This is getting discouraging, I have over a 100 lbs to lose! Any advice or tips would be great! I keep my sodium low usually around 1500-2000 mg a day as well and drink tons of water. Yesterday I did not get in all my calories, I was about 500-600 short, would this make me gain weight? Thanks in advance for the help! I also made my diary public as well

If you are weighing every day you will see a fluctuation everyday depending on what and when you ate, and when you weighed etc. What I do to battle this is I only tell myself or anyone else for that matter a new weight if I have seen it two day in a row. For example when I see 215 for the first time I won't really believe or celebrate it until I see it again the next day or two. Another solution is to only weigh once a week and you won't see as much fluctuation. Either way keep up the good work and keep heading the right direction!

Possibly not eating enough calories. Maybe try and cut your carbs in the calories you do eat down a little. Are you exercising? If you are, then I'd say you definitely need to eat some of your exercise calories back. Stick with it, it'll come.
