You really are doing fine.
If I remember correctly, 1-2 pounds a week, on average, is good.
Average, being the key word. There are many factors involved in weight loss.
One thing that helped me, was to weigh each morning, under the same circumstances, I write the weight on a calendar above my scale. I do think about the weight and what I did or did not eat or drink the last days, TOM, stress, etc. But the big goal was, when I turn the page to a new month, as long as I was trending down, 4-6 pounds a month, it's all good.
I do track all of my food and exercise, so I could take the calendar and go to my tracker and pinpoint, food, hormones, stress, water retention from hard workouts and so on.
While it may seem a bit compulsive, in the end, I learned how my body works, and how to work with my body.
I've been maintaining since September. I still weigh every morning, put it on the calendar, check my tracker, and so on. My weight varies on "average" 0-3 pounds. Just depends on the quality/quantity of food, exercise, stress, and so on.
As long as I'm staying in my range, it's all good. I'll be up tomorrow because I hit the weights hard today. Sore muscles retain water for muscle repair. That's ok. It will go away by Monday.
