    Kepp going and ignore the scale, also check your calorie intake to make sure you are at or below maintenance. I tend to find I stall hard for a week, even two then pee for an entire day. Bam 5 pounds gone.

    EDIT: Honestly if your diary is accurate, you are way too low in calories. 600,800,900/day? Not the way to go about it unless under strict doc supervision.

    it looks like the drop in calories is just in the last couple of days. More water and more fat is my recommendation.

    A week and a half really isn't a plateau, especially if you are losing inches during that time. Keep the water intake high. There are a couple of things I do to "kickstart" myself again. Sometimes it's some bullet proof coffee during the day and every so often just a plain old 24 hour fast. Just keep the water high, eat right and it will work itself out.

    I swear that my body will move fat around trying to find it a new home before it finally kicks it to the curb.

    A week and a half does not a plateau make. I know it is discouraging but pay it no mind. Just stick to your plan. The weight eventually has to go. I just went 3 weeks with not only no weight loss but a "false gain" (It was all water weight). Then suddenly, bam, down 2 and half pounds below my lowest weight. As long as you are eating clean, trust your plan, eventually the scale will catch up.

    When the scale refuses to play nice, put it in a time out.
