when does the number on the scale change?

first off i’m new to reddit lol i’m not sure how to even use it but my bf is addicted to it and he has a disease so he’s gotten a lot of advice from here and this is basically his home base for social media (im more of a twitter girl myself) so i decided to give it a try

in 2017 i lost 25 pounds in two and a half months, i went from 198 to 172 because i worked out everyday and ate well. i also worked at a fast food job, so i was doing at least 8k steps a day. long story short my bf got sick, i stopped caring, got depressed, smoked a lot of weed, moved across the country, now i’m 241 pounds. LOL right. i am currently 241 and i would like to be at 170, where i was really happy with my body. im 5’5 if that matters.

i am trying to lose weight and i know i’ve only been working out for a week but i aim to do cardio and lose 1000 calories on the treadmill everyday (which is about 3 miles at 12 incline and 3.2 speed) + high arm reps and low weight (30lb) and squats. the same exact thing as i did before to lose weight. it was a complete 360 for me, i ate out a lot and drank soda and i work at a desk job so i’m sitting down for 8 hours a day. i changed my diet a week before this, but started working out everyday this past monday. i don’t eat bad at all, literally. i’ve been working my butt off to see results for the week, at least ONE pound. instead i have not lost ONE single pound. in fact i GAINED A POUND!!! i’m just confused because i lost 25 pounds in 2.5 months and now that i’m waaaay heavier than i was before how am i not dropping weight easier? can anyone explain this to me or like am i not doing it right? am i just being impatient? it’s so discouraging :(

AND YES I KNOW it’s only been a week but ONE POUND!! seriously not even one!!!!! WHHHYYYYY
