Boy I sure look I lost more but scale isn't showing

Definitely looked like I lost a few more pounds but the scale is exactly the same. I have lost 70 pounds so far, just 12 more to go. I'm in a plateau, whoosh cycle constantly now so I'm sure…

I'm lowering my calories back down
About 2 to 3 weeks ago I upped my calories to 2,000-2,100 from 1,500-1,600 after being down 70 pounds with just 12 to go. Well I'm going back down to 1,600 to 1,700.

Moving around your digital scale?
What are your thoughts on moving around your digital scale daily? I never thought anything of it till about a month ago my scale went crazy.

Getting close to goal.
Lost 70 pounds so far, with just 12 more to go. I dropped my MFP from 2 pounds a week to .5 which I should have done much earlier but honestly overlooked it. My calories went from 1,970 to over 2,500. I am not taking in 2,500 calories but that is what MFP has it now. I just hit 2,000 calories today for the first time since…

Bananas and fruit sugar in general?
I eat three bananas a day sometimes, always one at least but sometimes 2 or 3. Obviously that puts me over on sugar every time with the app. I just ignore that because its natural sugar in fruit with all types of other benefits. I have lost 70 pounds doing things like this but I would like to know what you guys think.…

Wait time to eat after walking?
Is there a wait time to eat after walking? I walk briskly, almost a half walk, half run for 30-40 minutes 3-4 days a week. After a walk should you wait a specific amount of time like 30 minutes to eat? Thanks for any help.

Should I up my calories?
I have lost 70 pounds since last July, so almost a year. 12 more to go. By my fitness pal I can go up to 1,970 calories. Honestly I have been at 1,500-1,600 a day since I started.

Plateau followed by a nice drop?
I have lost almost 70 pounds eating right of course, exercise and using this app. I hit a plateau from hell for about 3 weeks.
