Please Help Me...Frustrated

Since Januray, when I started this journey, I've weighed myself same bat time, same bat place every week. (which is 7:30pm on Monday). Below are my weigh ins. I'm set at 1 pound a week.
As you can see, it's all over the place. I haven't really skipped a beat with the calorie counting, I have been consistent in my work outs, including not doing the same thing over and over and most importantly, have not panicked. I take a peek every now and then at the scales but let it bear no factor to my weekly weight ins. yes, If I weigh myself in the mornings I may weigh 230 at the moment .... and if I weighed myself right now it may be 238 ... but that bat time and bat place is my measuring stick as I know it'll be all over the show anyway, because I don't do everything in my life the exact same at the exact same time everyday of my life 24x7. Over time, it will come down. It's just another self control aspect to this journey.

Over time, I'm creating the deficit and over time, I'm loosing weight. It just isn't every week. I've been the same weight 3 weeks in a row, or even gone up, then, loose 3 pounds in 1 week. Go figure.
As others have suggested, I do measurements at same time too, so, I know that the inches are dissapearing anyway.

Start tracking your sugar. That in my opinion is more inportant that watching fat. Your body uses sugar for energy so if you eat a lot of high sugar foods then you burn those prior to burning your fat storage. Give it 2 weeks and I am sure you will see positive results. You should be gaining muscle with your workouts so take body measurments and that will give yo a more accurate idea if you are losing fat.

I think that's a great way of showing how the process of loosing weight isn't totally linear. While in theory it is just a math equation, our bodies don't react like completely perfect machines always using fuel in the exact same way at the exact same rate--there are fluctuations.

I weigh myself every morning but only record it once a week. If I had recorded my weight every single day you would see crazy fluctuations from day to day. Even some of my weekly weigh-ins have showed no loss or even a little gain, but over time there has been a consistent downward trend--which is far more important than seeing a particular loss on a scale exactly when I think it should happen.

This is completely irrelevant but if that's you in your profile pic kaitlinj, you look fantastic!!!
