Poor Progress on my Weight Loss Programme

Those scales are definitely wonky - no way can you possibly be gaining or dropping 10% body fat in a week esp if maintaining the same weight.

In regard to actual weight loss I’d keep doing what you’re doing

- I’ve just worked out your TDEE at 154kg and using some middle of the road numbers for height and age and your TDEE for moderate activity (which you are easily doing) is 25,850/week - I added up two of your weeks and you’re consuming 14500-17000 cal on those two weeks
- This gives you 8000-10,000 spare
- that’s 1-1.5kg/week (each kg of body fat = 7700 cal)
- Obviously these numbers may be slightly out depending on your height etc -

So, if you look at the first six weeks you’ve lost at this rate (1kg roughly a week - remember it will never be a straight line down) the next few have a slightly higher weight - this might be related to your exercise (increased exercise, particularly resistance training will cause you to hold onto water to heal your muscles up.. mainly intracellular water so it’s not obvious water weight sitting around your ankles etc - this occurs even more so if you’re taking a workout supplement like creatinine - - not saying you are but worth mentioning) or just because the body is a weird and wonderful thing that occasionally panics and holds onto water (this might be related to your salt intake, carb intake, the fact you’ve had some weight loss and your body is trying to adapt, change in weather/temperature, fluid intake etc).

You will find that your weight loss won’t be super rapid because with regular weight training you should be holding onto your lean mass well or even gaining some and hopefully losing almost entirely fat (this is good and definitely what you want)
I would keep on keeping on, get some clothes that are tight around the middle and try those on each week with the weigh in - you’ll be losing inches as you build muscle and drop fat even if you’re not losing numbers on the scale every week.

You might find as you get lower in weight and closer to goal you need to tighten up your measuring a bit to get the same results but at the moment you probably have enough room to play with the numbers that a few skewed calculations like the fruit mentioned above probably don’t overly matter

Are you weighing same time of day each time? Under same circumstances? Or sometimes you had breakfast lunch water and sometimes you didn’t? Can have a huge impact in supposed weight
