10 weeks of Reduced Cals....bumping up intake for a week?

Hey all,
Wanted to see if anyone has done this and what the outcome was. I started on May 10th to drop some weight. I originally had my cal goal set at 1200, but quickly realized that was too low for me. I found a nice goal of 1375 was more doable.
Anyways, I tend to zig-zag without knowing it, and have averaged a 5 pound weight loss to date. My workouts are always challenging and different, but just this last weekend I feel like I have hit a wall.
I'm not motivated to work out, and I'm really hungry. Like....ravenous. I was thinking about bumping up my daily goal to 1500 to see if that shakes things up in a positive way, and hopefully can then continue my weight loss goal in a week or two with positive results.
I may never reach my goal weight, and am absolutely fine with that. I have gained a great deal of strength, and know my clothes are fitting differently, so that's all that really matters.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has done this or is doing it currently, and what have your results been?
Oh, and I guess I do plan to drop my daily cal intake back to 1375 in a couple of weeks again.
Thanks!
