Keep in mind that you might have gained muscle mass , but it's good to also just have a look at your dairy/profile and adjust🌸 

Yes thank you... I have focused on weights more than cardio this week. It’s really amazing how the human body works. 

if it is a different scale to what you usually use, then it may just be done. not all scales are equal. if you usually weigh in the morning, but weighed later in the day... then a higher weight is to be expected. if you did some intense workout, then your cortisol levels might have increased leading to some post-workout body stress/inflammation... there are a lot of factors. weight is not necessarily the truest measure of weight loss (insert alanis morrisette singing isn't it ironic) but body weight changes daily even hourly. weight loss is not linear. Google fat loss Vs weight loss to get a better picture.  

I had the same last week, but I have a fancy scale that gives my base metabolic rate, and yes, it had come down a lot. Reduced my calorie intake to match, and it worked. Losing again.  

Thank you ladies. I have a weigh in tomorrow so hopefully I get a better idea of what’s going on.  

1. If you have lost a significant amount of weight. It is important for you to recalculate your calorie needs. So yes , definitely something you should consider doing. 2. Do not use the scale as the only tool to measure your progress . The number on the scale is affected by several things, water retention, did you poop, what time of the day you measured yourself, if you don't have inflammation from previous workout , if you are on your cycle. I weighed my self everyday and take the weekly average. This would show me how much my weight flactuates and I would be able to point out why . Initially when the number went up I would be stressed , until I understood these anomalies and how they affect that number on the scale. Now I'm not bothered. If you don't have a good relationship with the scale. Don't weight your self often. Understand that weight loss is not linear. Finally use other tools to see your progress like a drop in centimetres , how your clothes fit you , your energy levels , strength levels , and sleeping patterns . These are big wins , don't sleep on them !!!  

Goodluck with your weigh in tomorrow 🌺
