It’s completely normal to have weeks when you lose more and weeks when your weight remains the same regardless of your efforts. Our bodies don’t always know the estimates as to how much we should expect to be loosing. People rarely lose a consistent number of pounds each week.

Weight Loss is Not Immediate
Cutting calories today (with diet and exercise) will probably not show up on your scale at the end of the day or even by tomorrow. Most people’s weight will fluctuate from day-to-day for reasons that have nothing to do with diet and exercise. Much of this fluctuation is due to water and food intake.

Weighing yourself after wearing a “sweat” suit, getting into a sauna, or finishing an intense workout might (or might not) show a loss on the scale. But that is temporary water loss that will come back after you rehydrate yourself. Remember—you’re trying to lose fat, not “weight” or water weight. This is a good reason to only weigh yourself no more than once a week. The Fitness Resource Center has several articles that expand on this idea, including Body Composition Measures
