I really wish weight loss was linear! I hate doing everything right and not seeing any movement on the scale. So then I start to slack off, and the scale finally moves. But then it doesn’t move again for awhile because I’ve been overeating and have to get back on track.2 -

I don't know what am doing wrong. I checked my Libra app and I've only lost 1.5 lbs since I started tracking mid-March. I have set MFP to lose 1lb/wk and at sedentary level. I get 1200 calories and I do eat back my workout calories so I average about 1400 calories per day. I'm wondering if I should up it to lose .5 lbs and see if eating more helps? I do weigh my food too.
Another question, do everybody weight themselves first thing in the AM or stick to the same time? I find I always end up at least 5 lbs heavier in the evenings vs in the morning.

@serinaster I usually weigh myself first thing in the morning after I've gone to the bathroom and I think that is what most people do. Weighing yourself at the same time is helps to get an accurate look at your weight loss. As you can see the normal bodily functions that your body goes through while you sleep makes a difference in your scale weight.
Also, weight loss isn't linear, so if you are accurately weighing every single thing that you eat and you are sticking with your calorie goal the weight loss will even out. In addition, things like starting a new exercise program will cause increased water weight and will mask your weight loss on the scale which is why measurements are a better indication of whether you are making progress in losing weight than the scale. Also, your TOM will also have an affect on your weight. Eating more will not increase weight loss.1 -
It's been a lot of work just maintaining my weight, but to get the scale to go down? Rrrr! Slow progress it is.

Highest weight: 182.3 lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 125 lbs? (Not really sure how I will look/feel at this weight, haven't been this size since high school).
4/21: 133.8 lbs (Challenge starting weight).
4/27: 131.9 lbs
5/4: 129.5 lbs
5/11: 128.3 lbs (loss of 5.5 lbs during challenge, total loss of 55 lbs).
3.3 lbs to go!
If I surpass my goal during this challenge, I will drop my goal to 122 lbs. I still feel like I have weight to lose.
Out of curiosity how many calories are you eating a day? I am a similar weight! I am currently 125 aiming for 118 eventually but only 122 for the challenge. But my weight loss has slowed to 0.5 pounds a week on 1300 calories no formal workout.

I am fasting these days, so this weight loss could be mainly due to dehydration.

Things aren't going well. I'm gaining a pound a week instead of losing a pound a week.

I posted on Monday that I was having trouble because I kept gaining weight, and then I lost 4.5 pounds in 3 days. I'm not doing anything unhealthy either. I'm starting a FODMAP diet today to deal with stomach pain and gastro issues. I think my fluctuations could be due to some health reasons (I have been advised to try FODMAP by my PCP in the past).2
