Or you might have lost a kilo or more during the week, but since your bodyweight varies by that much over the day, as you eat and excrete, that can be hidden by just one comparison of your weight, even if you weigh yourself at exactly the same time on each occasion. Your bowels don't work on an exact and regular 24 hour cycle.
If you weigh yourself once a week, you could switch to weighing every day or every other day. That gives a more accurate and quicker discovery of the actual trend. But it can also be stressful and negative if you aren't disciplined (this way lies constant obsessiveness about weight and, for some people, anorexia - don't make it a permanent thing).
Or you could go for a more aggressive calorie deficit, so that there's less chance of the weekly weigh-in completely hiding your progress. But that can be tiring, depressing and unhealthy.
My choice would be to stick to the current diet/training regime but do a daily weight check for accurate information (for a limited time only) and adjust if that really showed that nothing was changing.
Of course, if you're already weighing yourself daily, I just wasted some of your time.
I know that I need to change my diet to lean up, but am not willing to at the moment.
Might work for eyebrows, Ed, but you said you were having problems with overeating on presumably not the best food. Changing your diet can be a very effective way of improving your progress, whatever your target (weight loss, muscle gain, percentage body fat etc.) Do it right and you can find ways to run an effective calorie loss without feeling hungry or weak. How would you describe your current diet?
