IMO, you shouldn't be weighing yourself every day. You should be keeping track of your measurements weekly (weight, waist, chest, arms, legs). I won't go any further until I see what you are doing daily.

I'm doing various things. Sometimes jumping rope, sometimes burpees, sometimes treadmill, sometimes the bike. Sometimes a combination of all of those things. Basically anything to make me sweat and keep my heart rate elevated.
I'm eating a 240-calorie breakfast of yogurt and a slice of whole grain wheat bread. My lunch and dinner are both around 500 calories, and are usually salad-based with meat and veggies. Sometimes a turkey sub, sometimes an organic whole-grain-crust pizza. I have a list of things I can choose from that all fit my requirements so I don't get too tired of the same thing. Mid-afternoon, I have a snack of 16 almonds, which runs about 100 calories. And then before I go to bed, I have a can of low-sodium V8. 1400-1500 calorie diet that covers pretty much all the bases.
I should say that I only transitioned to that diet a week ago - I was maintaining the same calorie count before, but doing it in two meals rather than spreading it like I am now. I'm eating breakfast for the first time since I was 14. I'm also trying to remember to drink more water on the weekends. During the work week, I'm drinking water all day long, but I was tending not to on the weekends.
