Fit this is getting fucking wierd. I have been cutting for two months now. Two week ago I started to loose weight very slowly so I cut down the daily calories by 200. This past two weeks i have been fucking GAINING WEIGHT!! How is this possible? Maybe i am gaining muscle, i have been lifting for like 9 months so i guess it might be possible...

Plateaus can last a stupidly long amount of time sometimes. Just keep at your caloric intake and get a lot of water and it will eventually pass.

It's a tumor in your brain

Not op, but what causes the plateau? I lost 30lbs and then sort of flatlined, no gaining or losing save a couple pounds. I have been working out more and eating less so it seems really bizarre.

Did you recalculate your calories for your lost weight?
>>41808524
Yes and it's actually increased because over the past few months I went from just cutting to jogging 5 times a week and lifting 3 times a week.

You're probably putting on muscle, especially if you're a beginner who just started lifting.
It's nothing to worry about as long as your lifts aren't suffering and you're not noticing any fat gains.

If that's true then I don't mind since my goal is to be in shape, not to be at some arbitrary weight. Still, I could stand to lose another 30lbs so feeling like I'm going nowhere is a bit of a downer since it reminds me of the rest of my life.

It happens. I'm on a cut and started doing more cardio but my diet was exactly the same one week I lost almost 1kg next week I only lost 0.2kg just sick with it and it should start again.

It's not a downer at all man, you're at a point where your fat losses are becoming secondary to your muscle gains. Its a whole new step to being in shape.
Best thing to do in this case is "mirror" check.
If you're looking better in the mirror fat mass wise and your weight is same/more you're fine.

This is what happens when you cut and only focus on calories and nothing else. You need to take into account what foods you're eating and when.
Try intermittant fasting and/or an extended fast. Also eat the right food, certain food types tell the body to do different things.
It sounds like you are eating throughout the day and it is causing your digestive hormones to go out of whack and your metabolism has lowered. If you are feeling fatigued and like shit in general than you know I'm onto something.
