NOT LOSING WEIGHT!!!

Hi there, I have 9 kgs to loose. Initially, I lost 2Kgs and was very excited. The following week I gained a kilo and this week I've gained another kilo. What am I doing wrong I've been calorie counting for 18 days and am being very vigilant. HELP!!! Please.

    Are you using a food scale? :)

    Same here weighing everything and gaining. But I have a thyroid condition so not sure if levels are off or if just water retention due to new exercise. Just frustrating. I understand.

    You're not in a deficit. Can you open your diary?

    Start taking iodoral immediately for your thyroid

    @seska422 that flow chart about covers it. Good one.

    The only reason you gain fat is if you eat more calories than you burn, your body will store the extra energy as fat. "Weight" is a different matter. If we're talking a single kilo (2.2lbs)... that's normal.

    Almost always the answer, in the absence of medical conditions.
