I’m needing a word of encouragement!

I started at 310 lbs with a goal weight of 180. I’m 5’6” was tired of being tired. I went to the doctor and found out my testosterone levels were extremely low. Like low for women low. As a 31 year old male I knew this had to be part of my problem. I began a hormone replacement therapy and it has practically changed my life. I tell you this so you know where I'm coming from. It's taken me some time but within 8months I've lost 70 lbs. I am now weighing in at 240. Was.

I get asked a lot about what I'm doing. I tell them I have changed my diet and I work out. The truth is I meticulously count my calories with myfitnesspal and I'm going to the gym all the time to do 30-45 min intense weight lifting. Every now and then I'll run for extra cardio. My fitness pal says I should be consuming 2090 calories + the calories I burn during my workouts. Usually I've been eating around 1800. I haven't had any problems until the other day when I stepped on the scale and everything started going backwards. I have gained, in the last 2 weeks, 7 lbs. I have since thrown my scale, shattering it, bought a new one and started eating more calories. I'm afraid I'm not eating enough. But I feel like I'm not losing fat. I feel like I'm going to gain it all back. I am at a loss.

Need some encouragement and maybe some advice.
