Woke at 215.2, down 1.0 from yesterday. Last night I spent some time studying my journal entries from May and June 2016, when I was down to 197-200. It included a Memorial Day event out of town when I went up to 212 after eating carbs. I was able to make it back to 200 in the first week of June. The calories and macros were almost identical to what I am eating now. But I was doing 5:2 IF and included coconut oil in coffee every day for breakfast. I am going to go back to that plan starting today. It will be very easy to do as I am fasting until dinner every day already. I will do 600 calorie days (all at dinner) on Mondays and Fridays, but will eat 2070 calories per day on the other days of the week. It will be interesting to see if that 'jump starts' me and gets me back into the sub-210 zone this month.

Nice drop, Draglist! I suppose we just have to keep switching things around to fool the body into dropping the weight. I am still trying to flush out the fluid weight from all the salt I had this past week. Are you going to keep eating one meal a day every day, or just the two that you mentioned?

That is one I never tried to do. I know it worked out very well for you before. I hope this switch in feeding gives you the boost you need. However, today is my very first day of eating the one meal. Hubby is whipping up our dinner right now, so maybe I won't have too much longer to wait to eat. LOL! I hope I don't fall onto the food like a ravenous wolf.

It's great to have old journal entries to turn to for inspiration, isn't it? Well done!

I expect your more frequent calorie intake will help bring your metabolism back up to "normal" speed. I'm not necessarily against fasting but I think it needs to be cycled or your metabolism just slows down to accommodate.
I personally go with the "eat when I get hungry" method, which is usually 3 meals and a couple of snacks through the day. I am meticulous about recording every single thing that goes in my mouth and try to log it immediately. This includes any condiments, spices, absolutely everything. I think where a lot of people get confused by lack of progress is because they're inaccurate in their logs because they ignore the "toppings", don't actually measure their portions (the amount on the label is WAY less than you think usually... Who the heck eats 20 chips, or 100g of meat??) or try to log at the end of the day from memory.
I kicked out of a plateau a couple of months ago by actually increasing my caloric intake. I noticed several weeks had gone by with the scale rock steady but instead of restricting, I bumped UP to 3000/day because I am also after some increased muscle mass.
Short story made long it worked, and I am sub-ten percent now and my energy levels are great again.
