Weight Stalling

monetsf

Has anyone ever noticed that regardless of how long you are dieting the closer you get to your goal, you stall? I want to get down to 145 which is 5 pds away, but I have been stuck at 150 for two weeks (actually it's 149 but I don't record it unless I see it for three days straight). I am thinking that it's due to my impeding tine of the month approaching as I am eating well and exercising (and varying it up etc).

I should note that I do think my body fat has decreased, hence why I do think it's a good idea to take alternative measurements. Would be great if MFP add body fat measurements to their list of items to record.

Thanks - at least I know I am not alone.

Same thing here too... further complicated by tom and getting a cold at the same time (first one in 3.5 years tho).

As I've gone down in weight, I notice the plateaux are closer together.

I'm 10 lbs from where I'd like to be so if there's a magic bullet, please tell.
