    is it "that time" of the month? did you eat something really salty or dense? how's your water consumption? all of those things can effect your weight on the scale by up to 5 or more pounds! I would ease up on salt, and drink lots of water, and see what happens over the next few days. Maybe you should go back to the amounts you were eating and exercising when you were losing 2/3 lb. then every week add like 50-100 calories to the amount you consume each day and see where you are when your weight loss stabilizes at 1/2 lb per week and where your body feels its best, not icky. But id try watching salt and drinkin more water for 3-4 days first before i did anything else.

    I've heard others say that when they were eating too little then upped their calories that at first they gained but then the losses resumed again. Hang in there and see what happens in another week.
