Please reassure me it's normal

you need to make your diary public to allow people to judge whats going on

ps if your waiting on compliments from others you might have to wait a while! some people are not forthcoming in that department at all and might never notice! the main thing is YOU feel the difference in your clothes - that should keep you encouraged. Take your measurements and see how they keep changing too, as for me the scales don't always show the weightloss but the waistline does! Also take pics and post them on here...there'll be lots of us that will tell you we can see how great you're doing

Have a healthy day

It's normal. You're doing great, just keep it up. Keep taking your measurements, too. Many times when my scale won't budge or even crawls up a pound or two, I find that I've still lost an inch off of my waist or hips.

If you're weighing yourself every day I'd expect some serious fluctuations. I don't know what its like for men, but we are hormone factories and there's stuff going on we don't know about

It's how you feel. If people notice then bonus I suppose but you need to get that sense of accomplishment for you.

If you're on a plateau I'd review your BMR (as this will change as you lose weight), get more exercise in and then play around with your cal intake until you start losing again without feeling hungry.

Good luck x

Hi
Suggestion: Download and use Runkeeper to track what calories you are actually burning when you walk. I walk a dog daily and also have a five minute hilly walk to and from my car to my place I work. It all counts, but you've got to count as accurately as possible.
My Fitness Pal is not equipped to accurately gauge what calories you are really burning on a walk. Your walk speed is not measured and you may be walking up a mountain or on the flat - it makes a difference which Runkeeper will track as it uses GPS to work out the elevations of your run.
Enter your results from Runkeeper into MyFitnessPal and you'll know where you stand.
The two basics of losing weight are simply eat less and move more. If your weight starts to plateau you need that cardio burn to keep your body losing weight.
Good luck

stop weighing in everyday. its not good for your mental health. weigh in on friday mornings, after a nice long week of being good, and before a weekend of possible food and drinking binges.

come as close as possible to your calorie goal. going a little over is preferred to being way under. use things link nuts and fruits as snacks to supplement your diet.

don't worry too much about macro-nutrients like fats and sugar. if you do eat a lot of fruits, your sugar will be especially high. thats ok. thats the good kind of sugar; same goes with certain vegtables and fat. the good kind of fat (the kind that destroys the bad fat) is in natural foods like avocados. if you must worry about one particular area, it's sodium. track that, and try to avoid excess sodium. it may be difficult in todays processed food world, but it's possible.

re-eat your exercise calories. or drink them, with something like a protein shake if you do very strenuous exercise, or some low fat chocolate milk if you don't.

drink plenty of water.

your initial weight loss was mostly due to a shock to your system, as it adapted to new conditions. if you've been doing this for about as long as you say, you need to tweak your calorie goals just a little, and your food intake.

don't over look the benefits of strength training. it can help "jump" your system back into weight loss mode.

make sure you weigh and measure all your food and drink.

alcohol can be ok for you in moderation, but if you are counting 2-3 drinks a night into your diary, you are robbing your body of nutrients that it needs. try limiting yourself to one glass of alcohol a night.
