okay, i must be getting to a plateau-ish stage or something. the last 3 days my weight has actually gone up instead of down. IT BREAKS MY HEART because not only have i worked out 6 days this week but i've still eaten right, i've not eaten a single wrong thing.
i feel like i'm in one of those really bad weigh in's on the biggest loser where a contestant's been working hard all week but ends up instead gaining weight that week. This weeks weight loss (from sunday) is a measly 0.8kgs (1.7pounds). IT ALMOST MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. i don't know what my body wants anymore, it's like the body now has a mind of it's own. just three weeks ago i lost 4.6kgs, the week after 3.3kgs, but this week 0.8kgs!
well, i'm still not letting it break me, in total i've lost 8.9kgs which i've never done in my entire life, so will not let one bad week take that away from me, i'm going to the gym today for a full on session....week 10 of exercise has began and i'm going full force.

Aw, I hope you're not too discouraged. You said that it's not gonna keep you down, and I'm very glad of that!
Let's look at some things, I may not be an expert, but I know a little bit from doing the weight loss thing a few times and reading about it...
You say you eat healthy, but how many calories exactly are you eating? Cuz it doesn't matter much if you eat cookies all day long, if they add up to the same amount of calories as the healthy food, then its about the same. Of course, I'm not suggesting eating cookies all day, cuz cookies have other effects like fat and sugar that can do other harmful things to your body (make you prone to diabetes and heart disease for one). But calories is essentially the only thing that matters in terms of weight loss.
Maybe you should go to the expert part of this site and ask some people about how many calories you need. Because you may not be getting enough, or you may be getting too many.
It's probably nothing at all. You may drop 5 lbs next week. It doesn't really matter what your weight is day to day, but it does matter what it is week to week or month to month. It's everything combined, in a long term period, that really results in true weight loss.
In your week, we see that you lost about 2 lbs. Which is really good! You may not think that is enough because you may have been used to dropping weight so quickly when you first started. It does get harder to lose weight fast once your body loses that first bit. I wouldn't necessarily call a 2 lb weight loss a plateau. You're losing weight and that's all that matters.
Though, if you truly think you're losing weight too slow, you should consider evaluating how many calories you're getting.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, I just know how frustrating it can be to not lose a lot. Keep your head up, it will all pay off before you know it.
