    How in the hell do people go from 400lb down to 120lb and I can't even seem to get from 155 to 140. WTF!

    Well, how tall are you? If you're already at a "healthy weight" for your height, then it's going to take a while to lose anything. I'm in the same boat. Re-vamped my nutrition, started working out and I've been losing and regaining the same 5 lbs! It's very frustrating.

    I'm an inch shorter than you and my weight keeps shooting back up to 155. That's what the scale said today after being 153 for two days prior. ARGH! The lowest I ever got was 136, but that was when I had an ED, so the fact that I'm doing it the healthy way this time might be a factor.

    You might be overestimating your caloric needs, under reporting caloric intake, or over reporting caloric expenditure.

    Although, you may just be having a retaining water day.
