Analysing my weight loss it seems like I take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Does anyone know why? This is SOOOOO frustrating!!!!

Is it coinciding with your cycle?

Its only small fluctuations and month on month youre going downwards.
Youre small so it wont happen swiftly at this stage.

Do you weigh in the same place at the same time of day?
Are some weeks weigh ins after a pp day and others after pv?

Look at the overall picture - the trend is downwards. Don't get disheartened - a friend of mine likened weight loss to flying an airplane. The pilot will deviate from the straight line, but will always reach his (her) destination.

There endeth my philosophy moment for the day!

These are tiny deviations - a monthly regular variation of +/- 300 - 500 grms is pretty normal for a woman of childbearing age, particularly for someone who has a low BMI to start with.

I agree with Atropos. Look at it monthly rather than weekly and it's definitely downwards. If I ever get down to a bmi as low as yours this is what I will be doing so I don't feel disheartened by my female cycle. I think you are doing fantastically, please be proud of yourself.

Thank you all!

I think you're actually pretty lucky - when I was in my 30s my weight used to swing by as much as 2kg one week out of every month!
