Hi - You're probably not doing anything wrong - except maybe weighing at night. We all get frustrated, but I think sometimes it is because of the mentality that goes something like this: I can't wait to lose all this weight so I can start eating normal again. As much as we all want to lose weight, if we don't do it right, mentally, physically and emotionally, it is almost an exercise in futility. Slow is good - slow will help us to adjust to the changes which hopefully will mean we can stop thinking of this is a diet to lose weight and start thinking of it as the way we should eat for the rest of our lives. That does not mean we won't have ups and downs - very few healthy weight people stay the same exact weight their whole lives. they go up and down by as many as 5-10 pounds and then they do something about it. That is my goal.

Good luck, don't give up. Look for the long term goal.
