I don't know what gives, and I'm not complaining, but my weight hasn't budged below 144-146 in about 6 months. I set a calorie limit for Monday - Saturday, and Sunday I eat whatever I want. Been doing that for about a year now. As of January, I quit losing weight and just began to hover/fluctuate in the same 144-146 pound range (depending on the day of the week). I always weighed more on Mondays after my Sunday splurge days and Saturday/Sunday mornings were always my lowest.

Then...this past week, I miraculously nudged below 144, by a hair, down to 143.6. Cool.
Ticked back up after my Sunday splurge, but had dipped back down to 143.6 yesterday morning, so I went ahead and logged the drop. TODAY--I'm at 142!!

I haven't done anything different. Same calorie counting Monday - Saturday. Same indulging on Sundays. No excessive extra exercising or anything. Nothing. Has. Changed. So...I don't get it, but I am not going to complain.

Let's see if my new normal range can be 142-143 for awhile. :)

If you think about it, it only takes a deficit of 100-150 cals/day to lose 1 lb/month. The reverse of that is that it only takes consistent overeating by 100-150 cals/day to gain a lb/month. That's a small amount of food restriction or extra movement throughout the day. Also weight loss/gain comes in spurts and is not linear. Just keep doing what your doing and you'll do great in the long term.
