Your weight can go up and down sporadically throughout the week. If you believe that what you are doing will get you the results you want, then stick to it. There are going to be times where you don't seem to be losing anything, when in fact you are. Most of the time these little fluctuations are due to water retention. As long as you are eating to plan, and your plan is sound, you will lose fat. Stick with it another week or two and if you are still not seeing anything move you might need to alter your plan a bit. These things take time. Most of us are impatient and want the results NOW! Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week, but you have to do what works for you, and what you can sustain long-term. A plan is no good if you can't sustain it. Some people have more success going a little slower, 1/2 a pound a week. But you have to be patient and let your changes take affect before you start making too many changes. Give it 3-4 weeks and if you are not getting the results then re-evaluate and make changes.
