Weight can go up and down if you're not eating enough calories as well as eating too many calories and there may be other factors that can cause this too try to eat 1,200 calories or more to keep your weight stable and weigh once a week or once a month on the same day in the morning when you get up and move 30 minutes a day will help
The healthy lifestyle works for me but everyone is different and has to find what works best for them

When my doctor 1st mentioned about me getting the weight loss surgery I didn't want to do it because I just thought it was about losing weight, but for me about all the other diseases that I have affecting my organs. Of course the surgery will make me lose weight But it will also help My other chronic disease that I suffer from. That is why I'm having the surgery. From there I will continue a healthy lifestyle change.

I try not to weigh as often. I keep it to every 2-3 weeks. When I did it too often the normal fluctuations like water gave me too much stress. It was hard but when I know Iā€™m staying consistent, it is helpful to wait a few weeks for true fat loss to show in scale
