I found by accident that my body response when I have calorie fluctuations. I will eat at my target goal for 4 or 5 days then go overboard a day then go back to target goal calories then I will be lenient a bit and my weight seemed to kick start down again. Anyone else have this?

    Can happen, if you're eating more food than normal, it can increase bowel movements. Weight loss isn't normally linear anyway, weight fluctuates for a multitude of reasons. In the below diagram my deficit was more or less over the week, so I might have a higher day one day and a lower day another. It's the trend over time that matters, not the day-to-day.

    Changing up calorie amount can sometimes cause water weight to flush out. It's kind of a hit-or-miss way to trigger a "whooosh".
