stuck at your set point weight?

The relevance of set point is that the body has homeostatic drives and it is part of the reason why tracking is so helpful. Most people don't accidentally lose weight. Additionally, some people think they should have perfect control over their body weight, and I think sacrifice too much to try to maintain below where the body want to be. Perhaps because I've trained in the field of eating disorders, and you definitely see the problems there.

Sure, I agree with you on this.

I'm 5'7 & weigh 156lbs (11st 2) I've been at this weight give or take a couple of pounds either side for well over a year now... I don't mind though as this is within the healthy weight range for my body..

I've been maintaining this weight by doing 2 fast days a week (5.2) for the last 2 years & eating whatever I choose on the other 5 days..

I now want to lose a final 7lbs but I'm struggling.. I know I've got too relaxed with my eating & I know if I want to drop that final 7lbs I'm gonna have to calorie count-no way around it!!..

I've always believed calories in V calories out to lose weight.. I used to say my body is at its natural happy weight, but deep down I don't really believe that, I know I've stayed the same weight as I'm over doing it (usually when wine is involved the snacks come out) & this is hindering my last bit of weight loss even with 2 fast days!!
