recently i entered the maintenance stage of my weightloss. for a week i have been logging at (maybe even just below my TDEE), and i weighed in both today and yesterday to see my weight greatly fluctuating! from the beginning of the week 50.7 kg to the end of the week (yesterday) 51.4 and today another inrease to 51.6kg.
is it possible i am not logging properly or is this expected at the beginning of maintenance stage?

    A 1kg variation isn't something to worry too much about unless it only continues to vary upwards. That's a small enough change to be water and poo and such differences from week to week.

    As you're focusing on maintenance, just keep an eye on things... if it creeps for another week, see if you need to adjust your calories then. Your maintenance needs may be figured a bit higher than they need be.
